Colt Python Combat Elite

[willis68]

Wow this thing is amazing. I was convinced I would hate the G10 grips so I ordered some wood ones. These grips are staying they are amazing and fit my hand like a glove.

I installed a Wilson Combat adjustable and a Gold Dot Wilson combat front to replace the Night Sight, this was a big time improvement. 5 star Firearms make the Speedloader equipment pictured with my New Colt. I will shoot the crap out of it next week and let you all know what I think

Mike Heffron has this and my soon to be 4.25 Anaconda on a 2 year wait list for his signature series Ultra tune to make them world class revolvers. In my opinion these are some of the finest looking wheel guns ever made.

Beautiful. Pythons are my favorite revolver ever. And I've been looking at Five Star trying to decide what combination I want for my Taurus 608. I would be looking at wood grips too, they just have a look to them. Probably not the original Python style though. Congratulations on a great aquisition.

So I just ran 3 cylinders of Buffalo Bore .357 through it and, I am in love! the weight calms the recoil enough to make it managable, much more than I thought it would. I will zero my sights later but was able to put all 18 bullets on the steel plate at 10 yards, so I am happy. I will put a bunch of .38 special Gold Dots through her to zero it in.

 

I absolutely love the Wilson sights and I think the Gold front sight is the best I can have on this revolver 

The only negative comment I can make about this when it came from colt, the rear sight, the Wilson is leaps and bounds better and an upgrade for Pythons and Anacondas that I highly reccomend.

I intend to leave the Orange front sight on my upcoming 4.5 Anaconda but already have the adjustable rear waiting for it.

I agree with Spots on this one. It does almost look too pretty to shoot. Haha!

they clean up nicely, it is far too fun to not shoot and  just just keep in a safe, I had a couple of 1911's being built, I put on hold in lue of my new addiction I think I will pick up at least 1 more Python maybe a 2.5 inch

Very nice-In my humble opinion that barrel length is the perfect size-

Screw it, I'm getting a second one and leaving the stock grips on that one, Folks the Combat Elite Python in my opinion is so good you should have two!

Boy, I needed to hear that. I still don't have my first one.

I am putting a Wilson Rear adjustable and a Harrison Design Green tritium front sight on this one when I get it. The Stock G10 grips are excellent for a carry revolver and the sights will make it perfect

She said the whole line up will eventually be released in Blued but could not give me a time frame unfortunately
