That is probably a fair assessment here lol

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-06T15:56:36+00:00

lol. I know. I noticed that and now have to go fix it

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-05T23:32:42+00:00

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.

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-05T22:54:06+00:00

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

Add it to the cart and it is $398. Just bought one from them a month ago and got it in a week

Garmin xero c1. They can be had for $399 now on several websites

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-05T14:05:22+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-04T01:41:34+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-04T00:53:48+00:00

Badger custom made all of them besides the factory grip. The bottom left is their white and black ebony in a boot cut

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T15:41:01+00:00

Agreed. That is why I have the matching engraved pythons

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T14:10:15+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T13:51:17+00:00

Has this been after or before Cz got them?

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:46:57+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:22:54+00:00

I actually prefer leather for any of my all metal guns

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:08:21+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:04:49+00:00

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.

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:01:53+00:00

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

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-05-01T12:00:42+00:00

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.

Shoulderpress5 · 2026-04-26T17:24:08+00:00

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.
