I agree. $1299 is not bad if it's as good as it seems to be! Hell, even $1499 is not "Excessive" IMHO. Modern CNC Machining does have some advantages!

, did it have a nice action?
I not only want one, I'll have one! IF I can find one! This may just be Colt going all out to save itself, and that may benefit us. We know they are capable of building some fine wheel guns!

I'll probably wear it deer and hog hunting and use it at close range if the opportunity arises. Right now I have a Super Blackhawk Hunter for that. Hell I'd trade the SBH for the Python in a hearbeat!

I have handled old school versions and this felt really good like them. Trigger was nice, crisp, maybe a little heavy but you know that can be helped. I was really liking it. I didn’t get to mess with it much but I thought it was very well done.

Yeh, 6" would be my choice as well and I'd bet that'd be the one that sells the most too.

I’d hold off for the Royal Blue version (if they make one).
