New LUST: Colt Python 2021 

Thanks for coming out to the video! It’s never too late to join up! www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy You can also donate to the TNP independence with PayPal also, above. Here’s some of TNPP comments on this video! "Clint Allison Interesting take on it. I like the new Pythons. I hope they release a blue one. I'm not sure the price will fall on the old ones. I look at them like pre 64 Winchesters or something similar. As of right now, they continue to climb in price but I think it has more to do with inflation than the gun's value. I've got a 1960 6" blued Python if you ever need to do a comparison. It's a shooter and a good one at that. These guns loaded with 38s are just such sweethearts to shoot. I love my Smiths but I'll be the first to admit, the Python is a whole different level. Thanks for the excellent review. 4d The Nutnfancy Project The Python is a whole different level, just such a cool gun. Glad you scored an older one; so hard to find now. Most going for up to $3K is in pristine condition! 2 4d Stefan Knie I always wanted a python, now I really need to get one, wifey won't be happy, I'll blame you 😁😁 1 4d The Nutnfancy Project I'll take all the blame ;-) 2 4d Harold Galen McPheron My dream pistol!!!! 4d The Nutnfancy Project Your dreams are centered Harold 1 4d Patrick Richards I’m very happy with my King Cobra. 4d The Nutnfancy Project Nice to know 1 4d Ben “This addictive 2nd cool thing…” yep sums up a lot of things lol 1 4d The Nutnfancy Project It is, we're just that way as dudes 1 4d WallBreaker37 FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting on this review for so long! Thanks for another quality review Nutn’! 1 4d The Nutnfancy Project Soooo glad to hear that 2 4d Load reply Joshua Mount I purchased one maybe 3 months after they came out and ive put a out 200 rds of full bore 357 through it and a bunch of 38s with no issues. 1500 i gladly ponied up. I bought the 2 inch Kimber K6 DASA and thats a awesome revolver too. I been carrying it alot lately. I collect vintage smiths and colts so im kind of a revolver guy. I dont always carry one because its a labor of love and im lazy sometimes but in the winter when i got a heavy wool jacket on. You bet im carrying a heavier gun. Yeah its expensive but its not unobtainable for anyone. Stop drinking coffee or whatever your guilty pleasure is for 4-6 months and im sure youll be close to getting one. 4d Gilberto Esquivel Instant Chub. If I got one, I would pet it and fondle it for at least a week before I fired it.......The Gun! I mean the Gun... 2 4d Steve Feeser So, you're saying this is a front heavy enjoyment piece? 4d Kenny VanCleave Such a beautiful gun. I hope Colt makes enough of them, so the asshats don't hoard them and drive the price up. Great review and I'm glad your doing better. 1 4d Andrey Shlyakt I always kinda wanted a Colt Python, then learned they were out of production when I got into guns. Now my desire has cooled a bit, especially considering the price. It still looks cool as hell, maybe one day after I have more systems squared away. Right now loving my 686 for half the price =p 1 4d Colin R You could go DUALIES with the 686 for one python, lol 3d Load reply Hold Fast Joe Great review, really enjoyed it 1 4d Andrew D Baldwin There's one in my local shop that I go and look at every so often. Never go in there without holding it and I feel like Mike Myers in Wayne's World. "It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine" 2 4d Colin R Great reference 3d Robert Avery Beautiful gun 4d David Perez 🤘🤘🤘, cool review! Stoked on picking up a King Cobra, they are great looking guns. 4d Ruben Lopez Hey Nutn! Just got done with my first tactical training class, FightingPistol! It was pretty awesome! 3 4d Greg Malcom Thanks Nutn !! 4d Andrew @Nutn Would like to see a S&W 640 Pro review (direct competitor to the K6s). 2 4d Greg Malcom In a world where our government is trying to kill us (the jab), it's great to have these videos for some escapism. It's like a buddy in the room. 4d john milochis I would love to own one but over here down under there selling for $3200 in our own currency and not to mention a lot of people who have the money are buying them so is a waiting list for them 4d Colin R Whoa. Australia is tough man. 3d RowdyRon I held one of these at the Luke BX about a month ago. Dry fired it. It took some self control to leave it at the counter. I know what you mean about that frenzy. I almost bought a Combat Troodon today! :) Thanks Nutn. 1 4d DACampbell Great review. I will be searching for a new Python. The cone fit and the lack of drag mark are pretty impressive. How did you clean the pistol? The amount of carbon buildup looked very small. 4d The Nutnfancy Project I use a lead removal cloth on the revolvers to clean them. Works great. Birchwood brand. just now Eric Kelley Hey Nutn……what’s the outro music? Very cool tune. 3d Duane R. Anderson They have one here in Suffolk VA. At CE Tactical on Godwin. Good folks there. 3d Pat McGroin Ammo currently over $1 rd. I dig mine. Makes me happy just fondling it. Safe queen for my boy when he is ready. I bought way way early. $1800 and i dont care. 1 3d Colin R The heart wants what the heart wants. 3d Colin R Gun lust. It's a beauty 3d David Threadgold I took one I borrowed to Alaska bow hunting on kodiak island and shot water jugs floating in the ocean and that was hard 2d Chris carr Sorry zero 2nd cool for me. I’m a ruger guy. My super blackhawk 2nd cool, super redhawk 1st cool. 340grains 44mag all day. 2d Dominic Jelly 2d Kyle Fiss Makes little sense to me that they would make these without offering a Blued option. 3h"

if Colt would have released this about the second season of the walking dead was aired and released the rick grimes special. they could have charged whatever they wanted

What a great thing to wake up to on a Saturday morning. Been here since I was 12 years old back in 2012, now I’m 21, in the military, and still enjoying the channel thanks Nutn

well now that CZ owns colt lets hope they get everything squared away over at colt.

Longtime fan Nutn. I hate to see you shaking like that. Hope your health is doing good. You are the man, and your fans love everything about you. Keep rolling Big Dawg!

The barrel on the Colt Python is a true one piece design. The recess you see at the business end of the “barrel recess.” It is designed to protect the rifling in the barrel in case it its dropped.

I bought my first Colt Python in 1979. The Python was my duty gun for over 12 years of my 40 year career as a police officer. The pistol was secondary primary for over 25 years. No problems over the years. It has a lot of holster wear. I love my newest Colt, the Cobra. It's my EDC pistol.

Thanks. Your still banging out the reviews. Can’t even remember when I started to follow you. Maybe 2008 or 2009. I traded some labor for a Spyderco tenacious and was told to check up on your review of the knife. Been a fan ever since. Good health and prosperity to you and your family.

I got one of the first 4.25s last february right from the factory. living in CT, and knowing what a dumpster fire this state is, it gives me pride that at least we have/had colt. Have had no side plate issues btw. I think this review was (per usual) absolutely spot on. I especially like how the python was viewed through the realistic lens of being a modern release. it's as good as we could have expected, if not better, at a price point that is aspirational but not unobtainable.

Beautiful revolver! Great to see Colt re-release this model!

I love mine. Picked it up mid September from Scheels at msrp. Was surprised when I saw both the 4.25 and 6 in case. Went with the 6 but was really tempted to buy both. More coin than I wanted to swing and still probably need to sale something else. Well done review and well done Colt/CZ.

Have the 6” and absolutely love it. Zero issues.

The last 2 min of the video says it all... A guy, his bike and his gun with a beautiful backdrop of clouds over the mountains... The true American dream 🇺🇲✌

You inspired the last 4 years of my career as a ranger nutn’ , just wanted you to know that - thank you for everything you’ve done ✅

Mine had issues. My 4.25” Python was manufactured in March 2021. I got it in August brand new and within 48 hours it was on it’s way back to Colt still unfired. The crane for the cylinder seized up in the closed position. I noticed it started to feel tight opening and closing the cylinder until it just locked up on me. The release latch pulled back as normal, the cylinder just wouldn’t swing out. Thankfully it was unloaded, because you *couldn’t* open it to unload if it was. I got it back a week ago after about 30 days in the factory and it’s fixed, for now. They said they fixed it but didn’t go into detail what was wrong with it, and test fired it. They must have test fired it a lot, because the cylinder face had significant burns on it. Probably 50 rounds at least. Way more carbon than what was on it when it went back (again unfired). I haven’t fired it yet, but so far it seems fine just dry firing it and opening the cylinder 3 or 4 dozen times since I got it back. Assuming nothing goes wrong with it in the future, it’s still a very nice gun.

Thank you for doing this review. I was really bummed with all the negative reviews last year on this pistol and had decided against getting one. A Python has always been on my must have list, but I was not about to shell out that much money if the thing didn't perform. Glad to see they have the kinks worked out and that it was proven by a reviewer whose reviews I trust. Love the channel, thanks dude!

I got mine February 21. I’ve run 18 boxes of 50 through it and perfect. I’ve gone over every inch of this gun and it is flawless. Beautiful fit and finish. The reason Pythons were hand fit years ago is because machining wasn’t as precise as today’s cnc machines. If you open the cylinder, the second generation will have a stamped L on it, meaning it has all of the initial flaws corrected. The triggers are great. My SA is 3.4 lbs. DA is 9. Both smooth as glass, super crisp. The accuracy is superb. I paid $1600 out the door. All I can say is the gun I have is great, it’s run perfectly and worth every penny to me. It’s not a tactical gun, it’s not a competition gun, it’s just a fun shooter and a classic. There are other .357 out there, and probably just as good, but at the end of the day, they aren’t a Python

I'm not ashamed to admit that the walking dead makes me want one of these even more. Thanks for the review, as always.

"A heavier gun is easier to shoot." - LTCOL Nutnfancy Definitely words every shooter needs to live by.

I was recently able to get my hands on a new Python finally. Oh man, this is a seriously beautiful gun. Really fun to shoot too. I can see it’ll be one of my favorites for the rest of my life.

I had an 80’s Python for about 25 years. Initially it needed two trips back to the factory to be right; and did they ever get it right! Off an improvised rest, I shot one inch groups with .38 wadcutters. Amazing shooter. Yes, the new Python appears melted; the trigger shoe is a bit wider, and the ejector rod looks thicker. Nice review! Thanks!

I've got several 6" barrel 357s. There's something about reasonable recoil and excellent accuracy combined with genuine power.

Missed your reviews for a bit. Good to see again.

I was totally prepared for you to tear it apart. I’m glad your experience was the same as mine. Once I held one I HAD to have one. 10/10 it’s my favorite gun in my collection.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend!

Ordered mine today, You are exactly right, it is a “grail gun”. At least for me. Great review, thanks!

Great review as always, ordered mine today looking forward to this newest purchase as a older vietnam vet this my treat to me .

Glad to hear your back Nut'n!

Just picked up a 70s vintage Python it’s a beautiful revolver. You really can’t appreciate them till you actually own one

I owned one of the very early 2020 Pythons. The sideplate screws did come loose on it, but all it took was a couple of minutes to dig out a screwdriver and tighten them up. No more problems with them. I did sell that gun, but only because it had a 6" barrel, and I have almost a fetish for a 4" barrel revolver. I've got two of them now, and haven't had a problem with either. VERY good guns. I was happy to hear you say you liked the grips. I thought I was the only one. I'm with you, I wouldn't change them. Yea, at $1500 each they're expensive, but IMHO, they're worth it.

Nice review, Nuttn! Hope you get to feeling better brotha. 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻 Oh, and that Colt is a real beauty! 😍

Thanks. I always liked your channel. I did know why it disappeared a number of years ago. Keep telling it like you see it.

I brought both of mine 6" Python while stationed at Fulda, Germany at a Rod & Gun Club in 1978. Hanging on to mine.

Follow up comment from 5 mo.ago have now owned my phyton for five months now and fully agree this is a fantastic revolver and has exceeded my very high expectations for it . E ery gun enthusiasts needs one !

It’s nice to see this back out.

Great review Nutn. Hope you get better quick. As for me, I am still holding out for the aluminum-framed Cobra to make a return.

I first met this gun in 1972, I've been in love with it ever since. And you are 100% correct saying that this is a love gun. Keep it by your recliner and stroke it daily LOL.

Great review. The relaxing music at the end 👌. That’s actually more fitting than rock or metal. Shooting is stress relief.

Nutnfancy channel just keeps getting better. Dig that music, motorcycle, and clouds at the end.

Nutnfancy, Great review! I especially love the megaphone and QR code taking you to the Denny's menu joke! Awesome! :^)

Speaking of top-notch revolvers, have you considered doing the Manurhin MR73?

Drooling right now. Great vid as usual.

I just picked up the 4.25 Python March 2022 after having wanted the S&W 686 for a while. When I tell you I'm in love with this piece of steel - I mean IN LOVE!! The sights are good, pretty accurate firing. I've run .357's and .38 Specials through it without issue (.357 is more fun) and the recoil on this slightly shorter barrel is not bad at all. Oh and it's a beautiful piece to boot. If you happen to run across one in the gun store, hop on it, because they rarely become available.

I Love it. I keep finding myself heading to the safe just to hold it.

Thanks buddy, you nailed this review. I had a Python I got in 1976 great gun. It was my duty gun for a lot of years. It had a 6-inch barrel, original. I wore it out; It needed new everything; I rebuilt it with a 4-inch barrel. Later gave it to my son who is a LEO. It was good to give him this weapon. No problems at all, I just miss it. So, I think I'm going shopping for one tomorrow. Take care.

Hand finishing was required because the manufacturing processes were not as exact as today. Parts were slightly oversized and filed,, ground, polished to fit. Not required with todays tech.

I have been on the verge of buying the S&W 686 for years, hoping I could come across a Python at the right price. Thanks Colt, job done!

Ordered 4.25” Python from Gunnies today. Been hoping Colt would reissue model. Thank you. Stay well! Followed your channel from beginning. Great content.

I have the new 2020 6” and I carry mine in a 4” open bottom holster just like Rick. I’ve shot over 1k rounds, 800 rounds probably more was .357 magnum. The gun is smooth, it’s reliable. I love it!

I think the 80s and 90s will go down in price but the really old ones will keep going up especially those in really good condition and better

Had my father’s service Python circa 1962. Loved it. Want the new in 41/4”

Solid barrel, but that is a thoroughly recessed target crown to envy.

Off topic but just wanted to thank you for that video years ago showing how to accurately shoot the Sig P250. Thanks to your advise have mastered the P250 9mm compact. The 21 round mags make it really fun to shoot.

It took me 3 years to find a Cot Python and I’m so glad I got one. I use it as my everyday carry.

I want one for my bucket list since the 80's. but the earlier mods had a semi-custom timing issue as I was told. Now your making want one again.

Seen a lot of negative reviews on the python but saw nutn gave his stamp of approval and now I have one coming in.

I've had the 6in Colt Python now for a while. I've put at least 1300 rounds thru it at this point and used it in pistol league as well. I've had no issues at all. Love the gun. The only modification I've done is to use Pachmayr grips; they work great with hks speedloaders.

Best review! Held the 4.25in version in a store yesterday and I am sold on this gun. But, they did not have the 6in I wanted. Colt say they'll be coming out with production first quarter of next year so I'll have to wait. It is a work or art, incredible construction, and a piece of history.

It is a very good competition revolver, plinker, hunting weapon, and all round looks badass in a shoulder holster

The new Pythons do have one piece barrels. They are just crowned, whereas, the older ones were not.

.... I haven’t had Denny’s breakfast in MANY years!!... Last time was when my dad took us camping, and on the way back home he stopped there... I remember it was awesome back then.... For all I really know they could actually suck, but after a week in the woods of Maine (Point Sebago area) I suppose shit on toast would’ve been a feast fit for a king 😬

Awsome GRV Nutn. Thanks for what you do and for showing us the new production Pythons. I also wanted Colt to bring back the snake guns, especially the Python. When the King Cobra came out, it got my hopes up and I was not disappointed. I have an original production Diamondback. My dad bought it new in 1967 and it came to me when he passed. I have always wanted a Python, but like you said, the price is steep, if you can find one. Maybe the price on the originals will come down, but at $1500 a Python might be in reach, at least if I can get out of California (no compliant models), but that is another story. At any rate, sorry to hear you have been sick and hope you are back to feeling 100% soon.

I'd really like to get one. Thanks nutn 😊 get well soon. Is good to see Colt has worked out the bugs the early production pistols had.

I just bought a Colt Python 6" barrel tonight. It was $1499.00 plus tax. Money well spent. You get what you pay for. I work at a Machine Shop and so I have a great appreciation for the fit and finish and quality. Excellent review.

Thanks for making this video

Good review. It’s been a dream gun of mine forever. Definitely will pick one up as soon as I see one in a store

I have the King Cobra carry model with the Hogue Overmolded grips and Gutter rear sight and Brass bead front sight and love it! .357 rounds were pretty wild in it to be honest but at the same time manageable with the Hogue Grips. Trigger is smooth as butter and I just love it!

Thank you for your content

FINALLY picked myself up a Python. For me nothing else comes close when it comes to revolver aesthetics. I kept trying to convince myself that I’d be OK with choosing a nice S&W but I just couldn’t. I was able to score my 6” Python for 1199 during Sportsman’s balloon pop day yesterday!

Great review

I've had the 3 inch Python for about 2 months now and the more I look at it , checking the workmanship of it makes me like it more and more . I thought the 1499.00 was a fair enough price and checking the internet price of today of 2200 to 2300 for the 3 inch I got mine at a great price . It's a beautiful piece of workmanship and smooth as silk .

The hand fit one I respect more especially for terms of experience with Swiss k31 and k98 or the German luger or c96 mauser

Just bought a new one this week 4.25 inch. Found it in the local shop and got an excellent price.

How do you feel about the 4 1/2 Version versus the 6 Inch version? 4 1/2 seems better for carrying.

When Nutn pulled the trigger a second time after that misfire I flinched. Real easy to destroy a revolver by doing that after a squib.

That's a bold prediction. Kinda like how you said Nagants would never become collectibles.

Thanks for the review NnF

Boom!! Sorry you’ve been sick!!

Just got mine a few days ago. Love it!!!

I am hoping CZ brings out a new series of SAA.

The 1st gen Colt Python is a piece of Colt and firearms history. The 1st gen was made by true craftsmen and hand fitted. However the newer Colt Python definitely has its place, being that it’s built thicker and updated. But so far the newer Python has not slowed down the value of the 1st gen Python. It’s just like when Volkswagen re-released the Beatle. People thought the value of the old ones would go down. I do totally agree if you’re wanting to shoot heavy and hot .357 mags, then the new Python is the way to go. But I love my 1967 6 inch and my 1977 4 inch. And in the future, I plan on buying a new 3 inch Python. Thanks for your videos, they are always very informative.

Good to see you. Hope you are well and stay well!!! God Bless, Long live the Republic!

Beautiful gun

The barrel on the new Python is a one piece barrel, not a steel insert pressed into a shroud like most new S&W's. Interestingly, the S&W 617 in .22 LR is also a one piece traditional barrel as well. I have my new Python in rubber Pachmayr Presentation Grips and it's my favorite 357, even better than my S&W mod 28. 4"

my local shop HAD one for $1500 but it was already spoken for. DAMN!

Love this gun. Wanted one in the 70's but had higher priorities. The video recalls the terrible grip creep with 357 loads. I also loved the Diamondback which was more practical.

Almost bought one of these a few weeks back then read the terrible reviews. I will say that I looked it over and couldn't find a single flaw in the finish...it was a gorgeous gun!

We are living in good times for firearms! I looked over and shot the new Colt Python and I agree we everything said here. For a production gun it dosent get much better. Even the old guns of yester year have a hard time competing against some of the new Colts and Dan Wessons.

At last the Browning Hi Power is on its way! I don’t care if it sucks I love it!

Barrel is solid and not a barrel shroud. Also, grips are cut checkering. I have the 4.25” and love it. Waiting for an Anaconda 8”. Thanks for the great video! You are awesome!

MSRP $1500 I wish, only one shop in my area regularly stocks the new Pythons but he charges $2200 for them and they still move.

Just got mine about a week ago and it was engraved by Davidson's Gallery of Guns, yes the trigger is unmatched

I will in all probability acquire a Python if I live long enough, BUT I am eagerly awaiting my new Colt's Anaconda to arrive! I have much more love for the 44 than the 357, but still want a Python and and so glad Colt's has reintroduced these fine pistols! BTW if you will rap your support hand thumb over the back of your strong hand, you can get a lightening quick re-cock of the pistol when in single action using your weak thumb and not disturb your firing grip. Just a suggestion based on long years of use of revolvers

This is an awesome review about a beautifull revolver !!

Well done Colt.

I’ve been watching your vids since the start …. I am genuinely concerned for your health …. Please take the time you need to heal - we will be here patiently and loyally waiting …..

If I ever have the cash, the purchase permit (in my Commie State) and the opportunity, I WANT ONE! But since I already have a pre-lock 6" 686, it probably won't happen. But I did find myself salivating over your video closeups of that beautiful Python! Thanks!

18:55: Cylinder latch moves to the rear. This is a far superior system over S&W, as is Colt's clockwise revolving cylinder. This is the reason Colt's DA revolvers have never needed to reinforce the latch system which helps keep the gun's action smoother. The cylinder latch presses forward, so under recoil the mass of the gun is being shoved back, while the light-weight, spring-loaded latch plunder is being pressed forward - result: super strong, reliable lock up! Also, the hand moves up alongside the left side of the cylinder creating a secondary barrier to the cylinder being able to move laterally out of the frame. S&W's are the exact opposite. When the cylinder is rotating on a Colt, it's being torqued into the frame and this allows the hand or pawl to be fitted to a zero tolerance standard. With an S&W, the hand pushing up and alongside the ratchet, torques it "out" of the frame and you can actually SEE a tiny gap appear between frame and crane as the cylinder is rotating! This is why S&W's need the front detent lock up as well... Colt only needs the one at the rear. Everything that was "wrong" with the original Python has been addressed on the new one. Improved steel, vastly superior, close-tolerance machining that results in more accurate parts than hand-fitting, and the parts can be swapped from one gun to another without fitment. The use of high-tech "powdered steels" - long used in the making of top-quality knife blades that are stronger with superior edge-taking and retention, also make superior lock parts because they can be compressed into perfect shapes too complex for machine work, and have smaller grain structures than steel parts made by casting molten steel into small shapes. They also don't form stress points that lead to breakage. This isn't new, S&W has been using these improved manufacturing technologies in their New Classic series and the guns come factory perfect with amazing triggers, better tolerances, and with slight internal redesign thanks to CAD, new revolver fire control parts are less prone to the dreaded short-stroke trigger jam, or short-stroke cylinder rotate without the hammer cocking!

If you have a light primer strike like that 0:32 , should you continue firing or give the round another 10 seconds to see if it goes off? I just ordered a Python but my nightmare is a catastrophic failure caused by a light primer strike going off when the chamber the round is inside is not in battery.

You know I actually believed the code brought up a breakfast menu for 2 seconds lol
