Python accuracy?

The Python is a great gun but because of the way Colt assembled them both tac's and Thor's experiances are possible. Colt payed its fitters on piece rate. There was one older fitter whos name excapes me now who turned out perfect guns and there were others who ranged fron good to marginal at best. If you have a 70's gun it can run the full range in terms of quality. At no time will the barrel be the problem. But as Thor noted the timing of the gun has a drastic effect on accuracy. If you have one that needs work be carefull who you have do the work. It takes a better than average pistol smith to tune up a Python.
