jlamphere Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just curious if any Colts revolver were used in competitions. If not, why not? They do seem expensive compared to Smiths and Rugers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Seems the Colts don't hold their timing well under constant use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Seems the Colts don't hold their timing well under constant use.And are a nightmare to work on / keep running aside from parts availability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've had 4 Pythons, 2 4" and 2 6" and a couple of Troopers. I think the Python is the best looking revo made. I had to give up on them for competition though, they don't hold up. They are a nightmare to do an action job on and it is nearly impossible to get parts and if you can find them they may be very expensive and may be already messed up by someone else. I have long since gone to all Smith revos and never looked back. I still like the looks of a Python, but now I enjoy looking at someone else's and let them deal with the problems.

LCARICH Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 We have a young man at SLOSA ICORE that shoot a Colt and does very well with it. He shoot ICORE Classie. I'll try to get more info and post later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cd662 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 LARICH, I know who you are talking about, he kicked my ass at the IRC and he is a beast. I feel bad that there is not a better speedloader option for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 It's not that they aren't good guns, I loved the Trooper I had. It's they take extra care and are prone to issues with the heavy use we give the Smith's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I love my Python, but it ain't going to any USPSA match. Finding a good Colt smith to work on them today is a tough row to hoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
