Very pleased with this python. Bud’s is the best for prices and super fast shipping..

What a sweet and beautifully crafted firearm that you can truly say is fun to shoot. The only change I made is swapping out the softer black grips for exotic wood ones, but I will add that the grips that came with my purchase were perfectly fine; changing them out was solely an esthetic choice. Unlike some other reviewers I have no substantial complaints with the rear sight. Mine came almost spot on and was easy to adjust. I did use a little medium thread lock in hopes that I’d keep the tiny adjustment screw from working loose too soon. So far, so good. The stainless finish is both beautiful and flawless — as it is on my two other Colt “snake guns" in larger calibers. Trigger action in both single- and double-action is excellent for my tastes, and does nothing but enhance Colt’s reputation for getting manufacturing tolerances both tight and right. As you might expect, especially if you shoot Colt’s .44 magnum or .357 mag revolvers, as I do, this 10-round .22-caliber is light, easy to carry, and downright pleasurable to shoot. I carry mine regularly during walks around my 11 acres and do a lot of plinking — which this little baby is made for. It’s an extra joy to know that you’ve acquired a heirloom item that’ll eventually be handed down to the grandkids. I just hope that one day they enjoy this King Cobra as much as I am. An easy five stars for this little beauty.

It's a colt, wanted one for almost 50 years. Shoots nice. Got a baby to go with it.

I’ve shot my new 5” Python twice now for a total of 150 rounds, all reloads, all fired double action. Early new model Pythons and King Cobras are known to give reloader’s occasional light primer strikes under these conditions and a King Cobra I previously owned had this issue. I started hearing that Colt increased the main spring strength to address this and verified it from a source I consider credible. Thus far, not a single instance so things are looking good! Fit and finish are good and these are beautiful guns. Yesterday I was getting 3-4” groups at twenty yards and I am nowhere near as good as I once was. I also wasn’t doing my best as my focus was primarily on function. This gun is accurate! This gun easily deserves five stars.

I had purchased this gun from another company and it was a blemished model. The blemishes weren't too bad. I took it to the range and the gun wouldn't function properly. I was able to return it and get a full refund. Nobody had this gun in stock in "new" condition except Bud's. I ordered it and it was an extremely smooth transition. I will definitely purchase from here again!
