Python 2020

So where to find one in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area? At sportsmans I was told that they dont even know if they take some in...its up to corporal (even though its listed on their site)

Regarding Sportsman's, it's listed as out of stock in their website. Once it's I. Stock, simply order and have shipped to your local store (provided its legal where you live, not on the roster in Kalifornia), go in do the paperwork and pay the man...

Just that simple.

Can do the same at Sportsman's Warehouse and they're selling at MSRP, not above... Just sayin'

 

[Knebel]

Yeah normally street price should be below MSRP but I guess not on this one lol

Not for the initial release, too popular, once all the gotta-haves, well, have them, the prices and supply should settle down.

After asking several Gun Stores in the PNW, for both the Colt Python and the new HK SP5, I'm a little less motivated to buy either gun. I hear the same thing from just about every gun store: "Dunno when I'll have any in stock. Depends on how many my distributor sends me. I won't take deposits because there's about 30 people ahead of you in line. Go on gunbroker and pay a premium.."

Seems like the distributors have a heckuva lot of power in this relationship... The few times I am ready to pay MSRP for guns, the gun stores won't take orders or know any specifics about anything. Frustrating....

The plan now is to wait for them to be begging for my business again. I can wait...

The Ruger and S@W target models or special offerings are quite pricey. The Colt may be a nice piece .

Been waiting for this since I was 15, and blew up my first Python.
There is two at work, al ready to dump a grand.
I'll try not and blow this one up.....
Really

hickok45 had a new python intermittently stop rotating the cylinder in a recent video

 

[Knebel]

Was that the recent one? I watched it an didn't notice. He had said he cleaned it and oiled it and it was flawless!? But I watched a different one where someone had that issue plus light primer strikes with armscor ammo.

His video has a new prologue that explains the one time fluke that he hasn't been able to replicate.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

watch intro and then if you wanna see the failure fast forward to 30:40

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

hes not the only one, there's multiple youtube videos of it

 

[nammac]

Oppps. A $1,500.00 revolver that doesn't always turn the cylinder. I think I'll wait for the 2.1 version, with the bugs worked out...

 

[Knebel]

Ok now I've seen it. I had seen another one where this happened with armscor ammo. Well... Honestly yes it should work with any kind if ammo but i don't think that this is a revolver you wanna shoot the cheapest ***** through it.

didn't hickhock say it ran fine after some cleaning and shooting? But I agree, for 1500$ it has to be flawless.

I'd have to agree. Should shoot anything, it's a revolver fer gawds sake, but maintenance should match conditions.
My nephew has a Taurus double action, 22LR revolver (yeah, I know. But it's a decent gun for the dollars). He told me it wasn't working well. It looked like he'd fired 5 or 6 bricks through it! Residue everywhere. Looked like he's been shooting Unique through it for a month! I gave it a good cleaning and it was good to go.
Just pay attention to your gun.

 

[tkdguy]

Wow! That is awful. The cylinder did not turn multiple times. Can not use something like that for combat nor hunting. For $1500 that is a real foul.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

No comment on this, or what's happening, but i have noticed that some manufacturers specify to clean out manufacturing/shipping products, and lube per instructions. Others do not, and you can start using it without doing anything, for limited rounds at least.

During the video I watched, he said he had problems off camera that he believed he fixed. Then mid-filming he had several similar problems which totally disabled the gun.

Edit: Looks like ya'll saw it.
