I have a 6" 686 and I'll never sell it. I had a 4" 66 and I sold it to my brother-in-law and I've benn trying to buy it back for 20 yrs. but he ain't sellin.

I'm embarrassed that for 40+ years I've been slobberin all over Pythons and never heard of these problems. A lot of cops used to carry them back in the 60s and 70s, I wonder how they dealt with that.

I am a Smith guy and have never owned a Colt revolver. The Pythons I have experience with are older ones, early 70's and I have never heard of the problems you talk about, must be something with the newer ones. The Pythons I've shot are far smoother than any Smith I've ever had my hands on, including mine, and I have some smooth ones.

You won't regret it. I've never had one but I have shot 2 different ones. I had to wipe the drool off both of them. They both had the smoothest action I've ever felt on any handgun.

Like he said. No comparison. Colt revolvers are not like Smith revolvers, all kinda the same quality. A trooper ain't even in the same league with a Python. I've always wanted a Python but I've never wanted a Trooper. I would rather have a Python than a Smith. But I would whole lot rather have a Smith than a Trooper.
