What's up with Colt?
I have been told by Good Sources, Colt is Quietly Recalling the New Pythons.
In Double Action the Cylinder stops turning!  I think it is Bad PR not to Publicly Announce it. Anyone Else think so?

Jim is correct, Hick found it on his first review and according to my LGS when they had one on display, they would not sell it. They said just so everybody could get a look at it. The last time I was in there it was gone. I asked if it was sold but they told me they had to send it back but wouldn't say why. I just assumed they sold it to an employee or something but now I think its going to be a recall type situation.
I mean, how do they screw up a wheel gun? A bit mind boggling to me honestly.

In all of the Automotive World it's what's referred to as a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin - aka - silent recall), it's very common, they ALL do it.
At least they're working on fixing the issue.

Between the Colt forum, 1911 forum and 1911Addicts forum there are A LOT of people who have gotten them. And I mean A LOT. I’ve yet to see any mention of a recall? And the main moderator on the Colt forum has said nothing either. There were very few that had issues with a dinged muzzle crown. I’ve seen pics of it and am not even sure I’d send one back for something so tiny. I’ve also read and seen a few just a few accounts of the cylinder not turning like Hickok experienced. But again have not seen an overall recall of the whole lot of them. What I have seen and read is that Colt has not yet been able to reproduce the issues we have seen with regard to the cylinder. I consider it to be some small growing pains. The new Python isn’t going anywhere and will be around for quite some time.
Don’t let the keyboard complainers turn you off.
