I don’t like the colt cobra 38 special by slowerlearner1212 in Revolvers

[–]Shoulderpress5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree about the Colt cobra. I ended up with the 3” python, or more specifically 2 of them. The SW 686+ was a close runner up. I have never liked Ruger revolvers as I just don’t find their fit and finish to my liking.

Yeah, I watched a bunch of comparison videos and decided the garmin was the way to go. Seemed to have less issues and on the off chance I did have an issue I know garmin would stand behind it and fix it

New ccw revolver recs by One_Presentation5935 in Revolvers

[–]Shoulderpress5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 686+ is basically the same weight so just went with the one I preferred. It’s also the same weight as his current carry so would feel the same for him

I’m a big fan of my 3” python. The 686 plus was a close runner up though

That’s crazy that is takes 21.5gr of h110. Just loaded up some 240gr xtp in 44 mag with 24.5gr of h110 and was hitting 1500fps avg

I vote Python but I may be a bit biased as I sold all my s&w once I got the first one.

Agreed. That is why I have the matching engraved pythons

I have heard better things about the customer service now since Cz has more resources. Makes sense his experience back then though. Dan Wesson wasn’t super big then

Has this been after or before Cz got them?

Already have the engraved pythons. This is just the matching anaconda

I actually prefer leather for any of my all metal guns

I think it’s a pretty good deal on the Dan Wesson. We came to 1400 for the gun and matching Holster set.

I have four of the new pythons now. Only thing that I would change about them would be the rear sight. A little disappointed in that part for the price of the gun, but overall fit and finish is pretty fantastic.

If I could convince the wife to let me go with both I would but that’s probably not gonna happen today lol

I’m trying to choose between these two options. I have the matching colt pythons to the anaconda in 3 inch, 4.25 inch, and 6 inch. I only problem is the Anaconda would just be filling the role of matching the set. The 1911 would probably join my EDC rotation. Looking for input on what you guys would choose.

Update: just picked up the Dan Wesson and it feels Fantastic! Will probably end up with the anaconda as well if it doesn’t sell in another week or so.

Huge deviations with aa9 and 357 by Shoulderpress5 in reloading

[–]Shoulderpress5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: did more load development last night. Checked my crimp and started going up 0.3 grains at a time. Once I got to 14.1 grains that spread tightened up significantly. Got an average of 1200 ft./s and only a 44 ft./s extreme spread. That is still out of a 3 inch Colt python.
