A range comparison between the 2020 Colt Python and Smith & Wesson 686+ revolvers. Comparison: 0:00-4:03 Accuracy: 4:03-7:37 On the Inside: 7:37-8:36 Parting Shots: 8:26-11:15
I’ve had a couple of new Pythons, and own a couple of 686+ revolvers. I sold the Pythons after a Colt rep told me they don’t sell parts, not even a sideplate screw(?!?). It’s probably just me, but I’m much more accurate with my 2.5”/4” 686+ revolvers.
Thanks for sharing with us. Every Colt I was ever around eventually developed timing/jamming issues but those were older ones , I have no experience with these new Colts…. I’ve always had good luck with S&W
@@professorpewpuew Yeah so I heard.. the one advantage the Colt had was the light , smooth double and single action , but if they had to give some of that up for increased durability/reliability then so be it , seems a good trade off. Edit: still has the weird grip angle and inferior cylinder release imho
Very Nice, I also have both of these excellent revolvers in 2.5" barrels only my 686 is not the plus only six rounds. These are both good choices either will serve well.
I had owned both but always prefer the 586 plus. I have een partial to S&W revolvers for I think they have shorter trigger travel in double action which is ideal for repeat shots. Good presentation.
There is a tiny allen screw you loosen when you adjust the windage then re-tighten to keep the sight from moving. The geniuses who complain about the rear sight have yet to figure this out.....
Let's see. The Colt is $1500 msrp. The Smith is $1000 msrp. The Colt has 6 shots, the Smith has 7 shots. And the Smith is no wider than the Colt even with that 7th shot. The Colt has a serrated trigger, the Smith has a smooth face trigger (which I prefer). The Smith is also about 2 oz lighter. The Colt is better looking. But the Smith is, overall, the better revolver for the money. For the extra $500 for the Colt you don't really get anything much better than the Smith. Except one less round.
Yea you dont own one do you lol. Colt is better. That gun is so accurate and the da trigger is amazing!!!! It looks good too. I love smith too but i want both and have both.
I have both and hate the round butt on my 686 plus. The cylinder release bites my thumb with heavy loads. I wish the Pythons cylinder was slightly longer. It limits bullet selection. You can now get an Elliason rear sight from Kensight for the new Pythons.
I will never buy a pistol with that ugly hole in it. I still buy Smith classics and old Smiths and love them. But, most new revolver purchases are Colts. They are excellent. But, for 357 magnum snubs, I mainly use a Rhino. It’s fantastic. Thanks for the video.
