The Colt Python story continues....

I have a Colt Trooper in .22. I believe it was made in the 80s

Figured I'd start a new non-birthday thread.

I just dropped the Python off at FedEx, sending it back to Colt.

After being disappointed by the frame damage but ALMOST willing to overlook... then a major malfunction while dry-firing on the day I planned to go to the range for first shots. I was very excited about the first shots christening. It wasn't to be.

This was the letter I enclosed with the gun, "Attn Colt Gunsmith" as advised by Colt.


And now, I wait... as the "shine" of owning a Colt Python gets duller and duller. Hopefully, the shine and my faith will be restored. But we're off to a very bad start, considering Colt is supposed to be the "best" and the "pinnacle" of American revolvers. I've bought many guns over many years. I've never had a problem with ANY of them. This was the most expensive handgun I've ever bought. Years in the making. And here we are. :cautious:

Stand by for updates.

Colt ain't who they used to be. Got bought out by the Czech's. I know they are marketing RIA revolvers as well.
 
Soooooo……its not like we’re waiting.

Got it! The bulge is gone. There's a little mark on the backstrap behind where the bulge was. But it's minor, and I'm just going to live with it. Stopped at the range tonight and put 112 rounds through it. Fired perfectly... though I had a long day and was tired... So, my shooting wasn't my best.

I just got home. Will post photos later.
