    Is it for being shoddy or because removing parts of the original design might have made it completely unreliable?

    Colt has lost their mojo and has never been the same since.

    Hickok45 on youtube did a review and during his glowing report the cylinder failed to turn in double action mode. Another reviewer had the same problem. That's the kiss of death with an online failure like that from hickok45. I am sure that Colt will fix it. I just hate to see such a once great company have problems like this. Meanwhile my 63 Python, 4 inch blue, sits in the safe. Thank you dad for leaving that to me. Just found the original box too. What a great gun.

    I was just coming here to post the OP video, late to the party.

    I saw another video saying that Hickok was short stroking it and the problems were likely human error, but it’s by the Yankee Marshal and if I post that here people will have collective coronaries.

    As Hickcock owns several pythons and has not had that issue with them, I am going to say that YM was just being a douche. Too many other folks are having the same issue

    Wait! It seems that I’m timely enough to post the brand new RESPONSE to the Yankee video. I bet y’all will like that.

    Now fifteen minutes ago there is another YM video about the Python problems titled now that he’s “done being snarky.”

    says that the “hand” (?) metal part might not be strong enough to tolerate short stroking, and easily damaged?
