First 2020 Python video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcp_YM-Cqr6YaYk.html 2020 Python vs Vintage Python: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frN3f6V4qbbadqc.html

You shoot so many two litres, I bet even the ants have diabetes.

I actually like it when you miss a few -- it gives the full reverb of the fired gun in the hills back to the camera, and it sounds quite pleasing. It's just a camera we're viewing this through, but I feel like it truly captures those subtle differences, and gives you a better understanding of what you can expect with that type of firearm if you have one, or getting one.

I just picked up this revolver two weeks ago but I haven't had a chance to take it to the range because I haven't been able get ammo. I can say that the fit and finish of this gun is remarkable, and buttery smooth. It's a work of art in my opinion.

Many are obsessed with the NEW vs OLD differences. Let's look at a model 27 Smith from the '50s vs one made today. Examine it inside and out. In number, there are at least as many changes. The issue is Colt completely quit making double-action revolvers for about 15 years, then started again. They have manufacturing changes and mechanical changes. These could also be viewed as "Updates". I have done complete action jobs on close to 60 of them. Every one of them has been a darn nice revolver. I have tested a few in my Ransom Machine Rest at 50 yds and 100 yds. The new Pythons shoot just as tight as the old Pythos. Many have even shot tighter. The barrels are still broach rifled and choke bored. The Python has no more change done to it than a Smith. With the Colt it happened all at once, which through the laws of human nature, puts it under a microscope. I own lots of revolvers. I have picked up my fair share of messed-up Smiths through the years. Manufacturing defects unfortunately occur with every brand. hickok45 might remember when the Smith 586/686 first came out. Several of them had a problem where they would "bind up" because the ejector rod would unthread and lock tight. You could not open them. Smith had a crapload of these sent back with stuck cylinders. Smith corrected the problem, but there was no internet in the early 1980s when all of this occurred. If there was they would have been blasted to no end! The number of faulty 586/686 revolvers FAR exceeded the number of NEW Pythons with defects. With the Smiths, it literally numbered into the thousands. People need to get an accurate perspective on this.

I really appreciate how you so naturally incorporate the gun safety rules, e.g at about 13:30 when you walked down to the target to admire your bullseye. :) Thank you for being dedicated to the safety rules for your entire session and not just for the obligatory 10 seconds at the beginning that other content creators seem to do. You are an example that I am striving to emulate.

It would be cool if colt brought out maybe an updated version of their 1917 model revolver in 45 acp

John's pun of using the gun to pound a nail on the fence, "for defense" is really funny! I love your videos Hickok45!

This guy is awesome I’ve learned to love guns specially pistols now I got my first and guess which is it... glock 23. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 mr. Hickok thanks for your videos.

I would love to see Colt offer a blued model

Been and fan and subscriber for years now. I always enjoy coming back and watching your videos from time to time. I am also happy to see that you are in good health and still doing what you enjoy. Have a great day!

0:45 " If I say 4 inches, what I really mean is 4.25 inches " Take note ladies.

Thank you for your time and videos Hickok and son! 🤘🏻🇺🇸

I remember a year ago, before Colt announced the return of the Python, everyone said, “they can’t do the Python today. They don’t have the old, experienced gunsmiths to make them like they used to.” It sounds like Hickok disagrees. Just like anything else, gunsmithing is not rocket science. It takes education and experience, but it’s not magic. And the difference today is that technology can overcome some of the experience lost. I’m glad to see that Colt was able to fulfill the promise of a new Python. I hope I can buy one one day.

Ive been watching for years, but still impressed each time HK45 hits the gong.

Beautiful revolver. Excellent review. Thanks Hickok. Always look forward to your videos.

The first gun I bought after obtaining my pistol permit in 1982 at the age of 21 was a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum with a 6 inch barrel, based almost solely on the feel of the grip. Since I’ve never been able to shoot like Hickok, at least I can now say that we have something in common, Grip Matters!!!

Love your videos! I recently purchased a 1981 6 inch blued python as a 21st birthday present to myself, its the first firearm I've ever purchased and it still shoots like a dream!

Really like you channel, you teach a lot about guns and your aim is insane, it makes your videos very satisfying to watch

The best way to start my day. A jovial old boy out shooting some guns. Good stuff!

I’ve been working all summer to try and set up my range like hickocks I think it’s gonna take a few more years to get there but this is my ultimate inspiration

Hickock I've watched all of your Colt reviews multiple times and I love watching you shoot them. I took the plung today on my 4" 2020 Python today and should have it in a couple of days. Thank you

I was able to get a new 4 1/4" Colt Python, and haven't been able to shoot it yet, but I just love having it. It`s not going to be a gun safe queen, I intend to put a lot of magnum loads through it, and am going to do it soon now that it`s warming up outside. I feel incredibly blessed that I was able to get this.

Those are pretty guns! Thank you, sir for sharing your knowledge and calming presence.

You are so skilled no one can beat you in a gun aiming game

When I was sworn in back in 77 the chief lent me a revolver until I could buy one. It was a blued 4 inch Python. Never realized at the time how special that was

Glad you got another to review, mine seems to be doing fine now

Sir your very knowledgeable with class. It helped me clarify some concerns regarding firearm purchases and expectations. Thanks for being so instrumental regarding firearms.

I watched 2 videos on the Kimber 3" & 4" 357 last night & thought I would buy one or the other...until I visited my LGS today & saw the 4" Colt Python. What a beautiful gun! After watching this video & another on the Python, I've made up my mind - I'm buying the Python tomorrow!!

Revolver is king of all firearms for carry with you, never fails

I purchased the first one that hit Texas a few months ago. Absolutely love it. The trigger is amazing!

The microphone you have is ridiculously good for gunshots. The other channels don't do justice how good some of these weapons sound.

Thanks for another great video on an interesting revolver. Last year I was in a large shop that had 5 older Pythons, 3 were out of time when cocked slowly. I actually like the 2020 version better.

I had to watch the first couple minutes of this vid a few times.Im impressed with how fast and efficient you loaded/locked/and nailed every shot.man your slinging that thing around like a .22 ...well done

This channel helped me learn about guns and one more year I get my grandpas hunting rifles from inheritance greeting from Canada

Another great review. Y’all are making me crazy though, trying to decide whether to go with the 4.25 or the 6!

This may be the most beautiful revolver I have seen so far.

The Python is such a beautiful gun. If I lived in the USA I’d definitely have one of these in my gun cabinet.

I always enjoy these videos. Thank you!

Wonderful video, Mr.Hickok and son. I once cycled an old blued six inch barrel Python in a gun store that possessed one of the most butter smooth actions I had ever cycled. I just could not afford to buy it. I did later buy a Dan Wesson six inch heavy barreled blued 357 that had a wonderful single action trigger and the double action was good but nothing like that Python. I don't know if that Python had been worked on or what but that double action, the completely butter smooth way the cylinder moved and locked up and the way the trigger broke so clean with so little effort always impressed me. And I know this might make people mad but I swear , I have owned stainless steel and blued steel revolvers and ,TO ME ,there is just something better and smoother cycling and firing to a blued steel revolver versus a stainless steel revolver. Stainless is great for finish durability but the ring of a blued steel revolver never gets old.

Awesome revolver. So glad colt brought it back. I would love to see a 2 inch version. Awesome video as always.

My father carried a four inch Python when he was plainclothes back in the day, awesome weapon.

So beautiful. Glad to see Colt fixed the issues. Got to have one of these!

I had some problems similar to yours with a six inch Python serial number 1728. Sent it back to Colt and although they took a couple of months to fix it they seemed to have got it fixed. I was fortunate enough to be quick enough on the trigger (pun intended) to get a 4.25 inch one as well. Now if I could just get ammo I'd be set...Thanks for setting the record straight.

Thanks Colt for making these in 4.25”, for us Canadians! Since government here thinks 4” is too short, and 4.25” is okay for handguns!😂 I own one of these, and absolutely love it!

Looks like a pretty good revolver in my opinion, packing a lot of power and sounds good to.

John: well done on the opening joke! You have been working on delivery.

I’ve seen quite a bit of your content and found it really interesting. I especially like the reviews of retro, industrial era weapons. I hope it’s not too much trouble, but could you show off an modele 1899 please? Anyway, keep up the good work!

Good video. I've got two 2020 Pythons, a 6" and a 4.2". I'm quite happy with both. I was lucky I suppose and didn't have much trouble locating them, and paid MSRP for each. The 6" one has about 800 rounds through it. I did catch the sideplate screws working loose around 500 rounds. It took a couple minutes with a screwdriver to fix that and put it back into action. The 4.2" I haven't fired yet, mostly because the covid has kept the range closed at first, then operating at reduced capacity. It has been through several hundred dry-fire cycles with no problem, but I know, that's not the same as shooting it.

4inch is the "City Hunter" model.

I've shot the old Python's. I would imagine the 2020 is nice too. But love my Taurus Tracker. And definitely more in my budget. Thanks again hickok45 for another great vid.

I just love it when you say it's time to smoke some pot. Which is shooting a pot and it makes clay dust very funny man

The Python is a classic that comes the closest of any other revolver to the ultimate classic - the 1873 Army. I agree that the rib is the key factor in making the Python what it is.

BUD'S HAS TO BE DOING EXTREMELY WELL, GOD BLESS!

Around 1988 I carried one of them, it was a heavy toolbelt back then. But she always had a great group nice and tight great gun great video mate

I recently picked up one of these 2020 4.25" models... A very smooth piece of work! Gotta find a good leather holster. Can't wait to see if they bring back the 22lr Diamondback and the 45Colt Anaconda. Would love to see a 1917 in 45ACP also!

Wathing from South Africa. Thank you for your excellent videos.

Such a beautiful gun. Hope to get one after I get my Eagle Scout!

Hello and thank you for your hard work time and expertise in making these excellent videos for all of us.

Wow the Python. One of the great masterpieces of the handgun world. One day I'd like to be able to own one.

Today is Saturday, that Gong is still ringing from those Magnums, wow.

I have one like that but with the rubber grips. Its an orginal from the late '80's. So, how does the fit and finish on the new ones compare with the original ones?

Good to see a legend, test out a legend...good python review...thanks mr. hickok45

Love my S&W Performance Center 627. Something special about revolvers. And 8 shots of .357 is awesome.

Back in the day, I shot a lot of PPC competition with the old style Python. Some parts of the course were double action. I am surprised how smooth the double action got after a few thousand rounds. It go so nice I would shoot NRA bullseye timed and rapid in double action.

I have been dying to see this video. Thank you!

Man you stay Making good video and inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel and you’re very knowledgeable

This brings back memories. I bought a Python with a 6" barrel when I was in the army, stationed at Ft. Knox.

13:23 I hope to be as bad a shot as Hickock45 someday. 😅

Your videos are so necessary. It should be required watching for young adults who are just learning about firearms.

Always great to see a fellow "firearm enthusiast" with a new addition to the collection.

4" is my favorite length. Beautiful

hickok's got an 8 inch Python, he keeps it concealed though 😉

Really enjoy this guys reviews and humor......

Thanks for everything Hickok!

I would like to see a direct Comparison between The 4in Python and 4in King Cobra please

I always thought this was the most beautiful revolver. But I am a S&W guy also but I would take a Python.

Thanks for another great video. Would love to get your opinion of the Ruger SR45. I've always wanted a .45 and think it'd be a good one.

Now that's a thing of beauty! I've always liked revolver's but this one is beautiful I most say 😍 would you consider making a video of a snupnose 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a beautiful revolver. I would love to purchase the 4.25" Python (at a fair price) once they become more available.

I’ve never owned a Colt revolver but I love my S&W 696 3” .44 special. Shoot straight and stay safe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Hickok45, PLEASE do more vids on early double action Colts: New Police, Police Positive, Official Police, etc. Love your stuff! :)

Hickok45, great video and what a beautiful handgun. Best wishes from Australia mate 🇦🇺👍🇺🇸

I dunno...at that price level, S&W have some performance center versions that I would have to seriously consider ....

Love sipping on my coffee while starring at my 4.25" Python on my table. Might pick up the 6" version as well.

Like to see that the safety measures are always present on all your moves 😀, whatever you do 😀, great to see all your vídeos.

Melhor canal sobre armas!!! Parabéns!

I'd like to see a side-by-side comparing the python to the 686, if you want to do that.

They still look to be very well made. With the exceptions of the few issues... There are always some issues with new models that need to be worked out.

Man I love hickok45 videos 💪👏🔥

First video I’ve seen from him and I’m already loving it

As I recall, Robert Blake carried a blue Python with a nickle-plated cylinder in 1973's "Electra Glide in Blue."

Love to have one. Sadly, when it comes to Thailand the price will be 5 times more. I bought glock 19 gen 3 long time ago, costed me about 2,142 bucks and M686 was around 3,400.

Quality content sir! You made me fall in love with 1911's. Would you be able to do a review on the Archon Type B? I'm starting to look into polymer 9mm's and don't want a Glock haha. I've heard it's a very flat shooter and want your take on it before I........ pull the trigger......

Another great video! Thank you from Australia.

Good to hear that Colt address the issues of the early 2020 production run guns. I'll still keep my eyes open for one crafted before 2000.

Can’t wait to see it in blue with the wood grips!

I just picked up a King Cobra 3” model, it was one of my bucket list revolvers and happy I found one today. 🙂

Oh it is so nice Colt really made an effort with this one.. What a piece of hand artillery in an age of plastic, consumer handguns..

10:00 you actually hit both shots but mr buffalo didn’t fall. The third shot was slightly higher but dropped him. Great explanation of how you hold though.
