Anyone else watching this when they brought the Python back
Hell yeah! Can't wait to see how the new Python compares. Kinda sucks though that they didn't keep the vents in the barrels of the new Pythons.
@@daniel42020 they have vents
Same
@@bosstube9046 I swear when I saw them the other day they didn't have any, but I just checked again and they do. Thanks!
Absolutely. LoL. It's almost like they were listening to the consumer.
I’d like to see you guys do 5 guns you should buy now while they are affordable video.
Daniel Treadwell great idea
Daniel Treadwell zenith and CZ
Interesting idea. It'd be neat to see if they go the "soon to be rare" route or "strange/odd guns that no one is buying BUT" route.
Yeah there are many directions they could take with this. I’m sure if they like the idea the results will be fantastic.
Daniel Treadwell
And make those guns go away faster, great idea man
Colt discontinuing the Python is the worst idea in gun history
And it was stupid to never correct this error by bringing it back. Colt discontinued and went into bankruptcy less than 10 years later. Then they came out of bankruptcy and laid off workers and now they’re suspending the AR-15 civilian sales.
I beg to differ. Australias 1996 NFA.
David Boyd Fake News. They’re not stopping sales. They have such a surplus of already produced AR15s that they don’t have to currently manufacture them to meet the demand.
Colt is going down everyday since this century started, I mean, they don't even make a polymer pistol, they're not in the market, and who is not the market goes bankrupt
Assaf Subirana Murillo I think they do make a polymer handgun. Albeit their only one I know of is a subcompact 380ACP
I wish a company would make old military rifles
I'd kill for an H&R .500S&W.
They do, but reproductions are expensive as hell because the market for them isn't big enough to justify the cost of making them.
Like Uberti does for Cowboy Guns, the Stoner 63 alike rifle is sweet.
Do you really though? If they were made to spec with proper materials, I'd be on board, but I feel that such weapons would be more like the American made AK market, where corners are cut and white materials are used.
Like the M1 Garand and the mosin nagant.
I carried a Python for 15 years until we switched to 9 mm. A lot of us kept carrying them until we were told to carry a Beretta or we wouldn't have a job. this was in about 1993, when the Beretta 92 was becoming the "in" gun. Nothing wrong with a 92, and we all got used ot them, until they pulled another switcheroo to a Smith 40 cal M&P just before I retired in 2005. They sold the Pythons to any deputy with 10 years of more of service for (get ready for the tears) $200. We were buying a new house, and I needed every dime for the down payment, so I had to pass. One of those today would buy a pretty decent used RV trailer. Rats!
Ouch!!!!! in the late 90's I was in the market for my first revolver and I saw a used Python for about $1,100 and a SW 686 for around $700. I went the cheap route and bought the SW and saved the $400. I recently sold my SW for around $600 and that Python is probably a $3,000 gun today. Sucks.
Pretty much the exact same story for my Dad. He kept his service Python and I have become the proud recipient of it now. It will never be sold out of the family as long as I’m alive.
My co-worker bought a 357 python at an auction back in nov, 2017 for 1200, I said he was nuts. STUPID ME
Missed a matched set of a Colt diamond back(22lr) and python both 6" stainless 350.00 for both of them. This was back in '91' pawn shop closed 3 months later
Good for you!
youtube please put ad's back on Eric's channels, and and mac at military arms channel, and everybody else. lot of gun channel's putting out great content and you're not supporting them... this is America, we like guns, support our gun channel's god dammit!
StripperTipper-405, not my favorite guy but he's got good content with good info and great footage of great guns doing what they do.
Craigx71 Will they never learn? It won't work. It's like trying to stomp out a religion. The more you oppress it, the more people want to engage in it. I bought an AR-15 simply because politicians told me I didn't need one.
Oh yes it does m8, they only really started doing this after Parkland, and not just to gun channels, just weapon featuring channels in general, even video game channels play games like CoD, Battlefield and PUBG have been demonetized. And also they changed their rules to basically attempt to ban disassembly videos as "manufacturing" videos.
Yet LGBT content is AOK. What a world we live in.

@@masterstoner666 a python
@JW A you're correct
@@methlicker then spits it out really fast
Its really saad when you hear that the tools are destroyed or the only pepole knowing how to make the gun, its like when an entire animal species dies out.
Probably the one gun that I wish was still made is the Ruger .44 Magnum carbine (Deerslayer). It was basically a slightly scaled-up 10/22, chambered in 44 Magnum.
+wicken Hale If I recall correctly Ruger did revive it briefly, but it didnt sell well. And with good reason... it was targeted mostly at hunters, and frankly it offered nothing over the standard and cheaper lever action rifles out there. There was talk that if their M77 in .357 had done well they were going to do that with .44 Magnum, but much like why the Deerslayer didnt do well, the M77 suffered the same problem. It WAS more accurate than some lever actions out there, but not enough to matter when hunting within the effective ranges of the caliber.
Bill Ruger wouldn’t make more than a 4 Rd Magazine during the 1970’s when we owned a Ranch. Would have been a terrific Farmhouse Gun if it had a Ten Round Magazine. Maybe same reason the Mini 14 can’t be loaded with a Factory 10 Rd Magazine with the Bolt Closed? Fear of Anti Gun People.
Christopher well, my dad had one of the 44 Magnum carbine when I was a kid and that thing was not only fun to shoot, but it was one hell of a little hog gun. He used it for many years hog hunting along with his 44 Magnum Super Blackhawk. Also, I'm going to have to disagree with you, as it offered quite a bit over a standard lever action, being a semi-automatic. Follow-up shots were quite a bit faster if I remember correctly.
Clearly the 77/357 must have sold pretty well, because they make a 77/44 that seems to be pretty popular also.
+wicken Hale Faster follow ups yes, but in hunting... how many follow ups do you need to be honest? And in self defense, while it's useful, the distances you'd likely be using a .44 Magnum carbine at, the lever action could still provide an adequately fast shot. Plus there's the versatility of using .44 Special in a lever action.
I have shot the Ruger .44 carbines like that before and they are good guns. I'm not saying they arent, I just personally never saw them bringing more to the table over a cheaper and more available lever action at the time. I only regret not getting the Ruger because their current price, but I dont regret it ultimately for the initial reason I chose not to go with one.
And the M77/357 has been discontinued, the .44 Magnum still seems to be in production however. Although the idea of a bolt action in a caliber like that to me just doesnt make much sense, but Ruger has always been a bit of an odd company at times. I have no doubt they have quality and are good guns, it's a shame companies like Marlin and such have fallen off under Freedom Group's leadership.
Christopher rapid follow-up shots can be very important when doing a spot and stalk style hog hunt, as you're generally hunting in thick brush. I actually really like lever actions in general, especially ones chambered in Magnum pistol calibers. I actually use an 1892 in 44 Magnum with a 2-7x32 Burris scope setup scout style for hog hunting.
I have to agree that I'm not exactly sold on the bolt action pistol caliber carbine concept, but they're super popular. I've met a couple people that have them and they swear that it's the bee's knees when it comes to deer hunting in the south.
why colt ever quit making the python is beyond me that would be like smith and wesson giving up on the model 29 or 36
Gavin Rixten when the world went wonder 9, the most expensive and least durable revolver took the greatest commercial hit.
-Marky
I’ve heard that they’re gonna start making them again, but for 1500 and as “collector items”.
It cost so much and Colts don't want to pay for skills person. They want to pay l $15.00 an hour that used to pay $45.00 plus over time with full benefit for union wages.
@@skeltonslay8er781 All machines that used to Build Colt Python were haul out and destroyed. All inspectors and parts maker machines were made in the same area were destroyed. All Skills persons that worked for Colts are gone for goods some die with poverty like my friends. The Cheap labors forces that Colts want to pay $15.00 Max skills are not matched and can not be matched with old craftsmanship from Colts Hartford, CT. my old home town.
Smith makes better revolvers than Colt.
LMAO at the shirts! Who found Tim's yearbook photo?
billy bob he posted it haha
When I was younger I thought all revolvers were pythons. My grandpa had one and sold it. I’m still mad about it
During the Gun Store scene in Dawn of the Dead (1978) one of the characters grabs a 6 inch Python that was listed for $375.
Now that would be >$2000
colt python... most beautiful handgun ever made
I vote for SW K frames for that nod but ... I agree with you.
I agree, but I prefer a 1911
Nope that goes to the SAA and always has. Python is so overrated. Good grips and very nice bluing, but beyond that kinda blaaah. No style.
Jordon Walsh NAH. It’s gotta be the M1911A1
5 guns that fit in a stocking? 5 guns to defend yourself from an intruder coming down the chimney? 5 guns for hunting magical flying deer, yes please.
Wanted a Colt Python forever. Great job gentlemen.
Greg Thewestgaredneck my dad had one he sold 20 years ago. Best 357 I have ever shot, I still give him cheap for selling it
Everyone I've ever talked to that owned a Python at any time of their life, then sold it, always regretted selling it.
NEVER SELL A PYTHON REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU ARE OFFERED!!!!!!!
Daniel Alpert 🤐🙂😊😂😂😂😂😂🤐.
Hey, that says it all. LOL.
Most of the people that "claim" MOA accuracy, have NEVER shot a 1" 5 shot group in their life, and never will. lol
"this gun was the Cadillac compared to the m16"
I see what you did there.
You guys always say “not to get off on a tangent...”
That’s why we’re here. We want to hear you talk. Just talk,
galamonkey that didn't sound creepy at all......
Cleetis McDougall shhhh just talk.....

Rest in Piece Barry. every episode we’ll be thinking about you,wish you were here.
YetiM3 I know we need to keep his memories alive. He was such a cool dude RIP Barry
I miss that old fucker :/
It was such a surprise when it happened...
”Piece“. Seriously?
Me too Rest In Peace Barry you will live forever on the internets
Really wish Eric would do an episode dedicated to his memory.. wishful thinking I guese
So glad that Colt reintroduced the Python again.
The one gun I wish they still made is the Mars Automatic. I want my own 19th century Deagle.
Colt pyhthon with 4" barrel is the best looking revolver ever. Sweet gun.
I still wish they made the Browning Auto 5. Yes they brought back the name but it runs like a Benelli instead of the long recoil action of the original.
Robert H agreed. I own two of the originals, and they are beautiful shotguns
Robert H
Love my Sweet Sixteen
Still my favorite upland gun after 30 yrs
Robert H, true that
Saw one at a pawnshop for 1200, got a remington 1100, still gas op 4+1 old shotgun
I have a Remington Mohawk 48, it's an 11-48 blow back 12 guage. Based on Browning's A5. It is awesome! A semi shotgun that lets fly five rounds pretty quick
Savage 99 should of been on that table
VZ-58 in 5.56 replaces the first gun you mentioned very accurate rifle, barrels made by lothar walther in germany
colt could easily charge around 1900$ retail for a new python
And they will still sell quickly
For sure they can, but is it worth probably the $2,000,000 to put them back into small time production?
A new Cobra is $750
Msrp will be 1450 so not too bad
Why doesn't Century Arms look into building an American version of the PSL or the Dragunov? The build their own AK and they are getting better at it. If the demand for a PSL is really there they would be foolish not to build them.
AndreMT2720 The only issue is that even though Century’s AK copies are functional (although not nearly as durable) they aren’t true AK’s and that steers many away. They would likely do the same to the SVD or PSL.
AndreMT2720 I’m an engineering student, and I’m actually considering a revival of the classic weapons. Research is needed to how these weapons were made to live up to the standard, but I don’t see why the big companies don’t do such remastering
mvreventon there are a select few that have done what you are talking about. Like the folks who are reproducing the STG-44 and the para trooper FG-42. They are incredibly expensive but very well engineered works of art. I forget the name of the company that's making the reproductions but I'm pretty sure IV8888 has done some video on them. It can be done! LOL!
AndreMT2720. I seen the PSL in 30.06, 8mm, and the 762×54R. About 3 years ago. About 1200.00 - 1500.00. Dollars.
Saiga makes one according to my owners manual.. I really don’t know if it’s sold in America or what it’s called because it’s all in Russian 😂 .. I just have a Saiga 545 Ak pattern rifle..
Actually, the Polish Beryl (Archer) is still in produce. U can easily buy one in Poland for about 1100 USD. Really high quality 5.56 like AK gun. My own holds 1,5 MOA, what is good I suppose.
If you wish to have a (sport) gun in Poland several conditions must be fulfil.
(1) You must be a member of a shooting society
(2) You must pass an exam which check if one can safety shoot and maintain a sport gun
(3) You must pass psychological and psychiatrist examination
(4) Police must check if you are not a criminalist or do not take drugs or too much alcohol
If all 4 above conditions are OK you get a permission to have a sport gun. Usually the permission allows to buy several guns (usually 5 to 7). The term “sport gun” have broad meaning and cover almost all guns which are not fully automatic. That means you can buy almost any semi-automatic pistol, rifle, carbine including semi-automatic AR or AK, like seim-automatic Beryl.
Marcin Nazwisko i agree and i would add that it all takes a few months and about a months salary to get a permit. You can buy any non fully auto gun up to 12mm caliber. I initially was allowed 5 guns, than after 1 year applied to have 11, police agreed to 8
Interestingly sport permit allows concealed carry. Open carry is not allowed unless you are uniformed police/army/security
I have that Revolver, along with a Colt Cobra. They belonged to my grandfather. I cherish them.
Backwoodsboy405 what's that suppose to mean?
Meanwhile the PSL is still being produced and sold
Not in America anymore
I have a 6" early Python. It is indeed extremely well finished. It is an old design on the lockwork and actually not that complex.. with the new computer machining I think they could make another one that would take very little hand finishing. some of the smoothness is from the way the action works. The real problem would be the hours and hours of hand polishing on the actual exterior of the gun before blue/nickle.. I own a lot of revolvers and yeah.. you guys are right.. once you shoot a Python you get it.
One of the guns I wish they still made is probably the Savage 99.
Wileblock i have a vintage 99e chambered in 308. Its not the 300 savage, but with respect to my 99e, not many were chambered in the 308.
Nice
Inherited a collection of 99s among other guns. Love how many damn calibers they came in and how smooth they operated.
Tell that to a Savage rep and watch that man roll up on the floor while holding himself and scream and cry like a 2 year old on how they just can't do it.. the new Savage company is a pathetic memory of what it once was
I miss the PSL's I used to have unfortunately I sold them during the high for $1600 ea in order to fund my family's move from NJ to the free state of PA. So in retrospect they paid for my freedom from tyranny.
The Green Man Welcome to PA. Are you closer to Pittsburgh or Philly?
should have come to Ohio
The Green Man yes my pops also told me that as well. My best friends dad also sold his 1967 chevelle back in the day to buy his first lathe for his business and still open today.
Mexico City what a ironic name to have for that statement.
Well Romania still uses them. I imagine parts kits will flood the market whenever they transition to something more "NATO"...
Wish Smith still made the 1006, and the 945. Or any revolver WITHOUT that darned lock!
I feel your pain. 3rd Gen Smith 10mm were the bomb.
TheDoctor you can always take the lock out
Steve Rick not with voiding the warranty.
also in places like caiforna you can't legal do it.
buy an older model without the locks
also Smith and Wesson make now without the locks
I still have a 1006 and a 4506. by far and away the most reliable, most accurate semi autos you could buy. They put glocks and any other polymer to shame.
Hey man, give Mr. Guns and gear some talking time. You talk too much
He runs over most anyone on with him. It is a big reason I dont like this channel as much anymore.
Hurts me how he is pronouncing dragunov lol

There are many firearms of the past that we could agree are greatly missed. But if I were to pick out one it would be the Remington Nylon 66. My father, brother and I would go shooting at least a couple of times a month in the 1960s. Back then even a new Nylon 66 wouldn't set you back much more than a family meal costs today. And used ones? I remember looking at them stuffed in a drum with all sorts of .22s. $15 used! And no NICS check either. The Nylon 66 was a surprising good shooter, light, accurate and with 14 rounds that was plenty of ammo to walk tin cans.
Ran Kelvin I still have one. They are great little guns.
I know someone with one. The first time they handed it to me, I thought it was a toy because it was so light. Awesome, awesome gun.
Yeah I picked up a Nylon 66 Apache about four months ago for 200 bucks it’s in mint condition
Johnathen Stommel I believe mine is also an Apache in black and chrome. I could be wrong on that though. I haven't done any serious research.
Adam Pringle you’re definitely right that’s the on I have and I guess that’s the one to have
And i did not know that the brazzers guy was into guns:P

Last night I saw a Colt Python at Cabelas... $3800
Cole's World Whata joke! We can all thank The Walking Dead for the stupid ass prices.
yup
Just gotta sell your kidneys blood and first born child.
I know a college professor that just recently found one in his grandfather's house when he passed. Didn't want it, so he auctioned it off. If only I knew at the time.....
Always makes my dad laugh when he told me he use to buy the colt python for 300 to 400 bucks and even traded his off. He has a colt national match 1911 from the 60s he bought for 250 which is going for about 2500 today. He said if he only knew.
When I was a kid in the 70's that Colt Python blued 4" barrel stock grips was my dream gun.
that Colt is a tragedy...I hope and pray that Colt get another rich guy to help save the company again...from its self...

I picked a Romanian PSL from J and G out of Prescott, AZ back in 2009 for $749.99. I thought I was getting ripped off but I bought it because it wasn't parts gun. Now I'm glad I did. Great upload Merry Christmas!
On 2Wheels Hello from Sedona ! I am buying my grandmother a gun ( she can handle a 12g ) So i was thinking a Cpx SCCY-2
I picked up a Cugir (?sp) brand new right at the same time from a local FFL. I also bought two of the 4 mag - bag kits a few months later. Paid the same as you for the rifle and thought the exact same thing at the time. I am so glad I did, what a fun gun to shoot! I will never sell. Thankfully I also picked up multiple 880 round milsurp boxes of 2 spam cans, I'll not run out of ammo and it was back when 54R milsurp was dirt cheap. I haven't hand loaded for it yet due to the dent it puts in the case and the fact it slings it out 15' or better ;-) Hope you are enjoying yours.
SIG556. Not the 556XI, or 556R, or any of that trash. Pre-2014 SIG 556's, especially the Classic Swat model.
Jack Rex I'd love to have a 553 but I know it'll never happen :(
Jack Rex you mean an SG553?
TheDandyMan you can.
chris xxx Just found out JDI is importing them in August of next year. They're all pretty expensive close to 2500 and up for different models and they all come into the country as pistols.
There's even a 12" 300 blackout version, I kinda want to get that one.
TheDandyMan I know all of that because I just took delivery of my third SG in 7.62x39. They are worth the money, trust me, especially at 2500 or so for the 5.56. JDI is only importing 100 of the .308 and 100 of the x39, though.
Frankly, the Colt Python is such a fanboy, mall ninja choice. The registered magnums and early P and R revolvers from Smith and Wesson are the match of any Colt in fit and finish and action, and also prettier and more durable. The Dan Wesson revolvers are excellent quality, not as finely made as a Colt or Smith but much more durable and accurate. Both would be much better educated choices than the outrageously overpriced, weirdly delicate Colt.
The Python was an elegant and lovely revolver for sure. It was killed off by the S&W 586/686 which were more reasonably priced and more durable. However, if Colt did resurrect the Python I might just open my wallet.
Well your in luck they did but they are like a little less than 1000 bucks lol like 985 or 995 lol
I love the looks of a Colt Python, but I suspect I'd prefer my 27-2 in a side-by-side test :)
I would love to have a modern Winchester 94 built to take the 405 Win cartridge, with Flextip ammo it would be great. As a whole I miss the deep luster blue that all quality guns had 40 years ago.
John Parrish its what the 1895 is for
I had an 1895 its not that great really, the 94 was much better.
1895 made it to where you could use spitzer style bullet
check out the new m70's their pretty good
It would be cool to make a new 303 enfield rifle
Agreed
me three
Absolutely! I love my no4 mk1 sporter, .303 brit is a great cartridge. I'd love to see a modern stainless barrel, synthetic stock varient made as long as they keep the same buttery action.
I was thinking the same thing for a K98 but apparently someone does and their ridiculously priced.
Zachary Peterson I’ll have to look into them again
On the 1980's ABC series SPENSER: For Hire, an 8" nickel Python was Hawk's sidearm (described in a ..Robert B. Parker novel as "...the size of a hockey stick...")
My second rifle was a Ruger M77 in .243 w/zytel stock. Still have it. One of my favorite rifles
Eric do you let anyone talk lol?
I like that revolver, but I like my police force Smith&Weson. 357 magnum better. It's pretty accurate to 25 yards, haven't tried 50
I recently purchased a S&W Model 66 with the 2.75" barrel. So far I'm good out to 12 yards but I need a lot more practice with it before I'd take it as a carry gun.
Who is this guy that has all the stoner 63s
The Man With No Name that's what I want to know
Think castles. All i will say.
My dad used one in Vietnam. I tried to find an original for a gift. Ummm. No.
The Man With No Name price for one is beyond ridiculous , if you can find one for sell
Reed Knight.
Yep Reed Knight.. The founder of Knight’s Armament.
This has to be one of the most depressing videos I've seen in a while. It feels like it's just downhill for this industry from here.
When I saw that wildcard-gun , I instanly thought : wow, a 63 stoner....Well, I was close ;-)
And the Python....YESSSSS!!!
s&w model 19 didn't make the cut why not?
contreeman
They make the K Frame Model 66 still. It's excellent. I don't think they make it in blue finish though.
They make the heavier classic Model 27 but I wish they made the 28 still too.
S&W are still making the model 19 in there "classic" series
Agreed. I bought a CHP trade in Model 19 that seized completely twice with factory .357. It did, however lead me to buy a Ruger Security Six stainless 6" revolver which was one of the best firearms I've owned. Thanks for your comment. I feel validated.
I like this series of videos with Mr. Gunzngear. I have a musket that belonged to my Dad, and I am learning from the black powder video you did for Gunzngear's channel. Gunzngear as a co-host is a definite plus. Please consider other co-hosts from other gun channels; especially the smaller, mid-sized ones such as Buffalo Outdoors.

Flask forward 2020- Colt brought back the python. Robinson Armament did a run of M96s, they didn’t bring them back into full productions but I think they brought out 200 or so. And I think PSL54 came back

I've shot the Python. It's mostly hype. They stopped making them for a reason. Nice looking gun, but it's not magic. The Smith 686 is just as good (and still made). Colt will make them again. They will be modernized and made with machines with MIM parts.
I've spoken to Colt and the reason they say is they don't have the gunsmiths who could do the fine tuning and assembly for the Python action. As far as MIM parts are concerned hopefully they don't... MIM equipment is very costly and may not be as strong as forged or machined parts...
That MAC shirt is great
Wow, I didn't recognize MAC on the shirt until I saw your post! Thanks!
I'll put my WBP Polska AK against any Arsenal or Polytech. Amazing gun.
I've always been a fan of the Colt Anaconda .44mag. The python is a close 2nd in my favorite Colt handguns
What about the Marlin Camp Rifle that thing was sweet. It used Smith & Wesson MAGS and it was discontinued and they are high in demand .
I asked Ken Hackathorn at NRA in Atlanta about why he hates the Python. He stated that the metal was soft in the triggers and do not stand for hard use without coming out of time and good luck finding Python gunsmith's. I will keep my late 70's S&W 19 Pinned Barrel and Recessed Cylinder Model.
christopher huffman
You're absolutely correct. Jerry Miculek can tell you a lot more than that about why he dislikes the python. They were a beautiful firearm no doubt. I have several vintage smiths. Model 27 nickel with blonde grips is my favorite
I don't think the Gunsmithing is really true. I know there's gunsmiths around where I live which Inn in Fort Worth Texas that can work on pythons cuz I've had it done. And they definitely are not specialist for only Colt Pythons I got a pretty beat up one at a gun show a while back and they reboot it for me took it completely apart and cleaned it and said that the metal inside was so worn that the hardened outer layer the steel was one true and that they can replace the parts for me I just haven't done that yet
PLEASE NOTE: Colt cannot service legacy models older than 10 years, with the exception of most 1911 models and third generation Single Action Army (and New Frontier) models. I got this from Colts FAQ page i should have clarified the factory does not work on them.
What Ken said is basically true. I don’t know about soft metal, but I know that shooting a Python a lot is more likely to come in for service.
That was known back in the 1980’s even. That smooth trigger is a trade-off it seems.

Can we do some more pistol melt downs? Tp9 maybe 😁 or how about a CZ Scorpion Evo
NoblesTx, I absolutely agree 100% wholeheartedly!!!!
My absolute favorite video that this channel EVER DID was the Glock Meltdown!!!!
You two ought to do your own channel. Perfect teamwork, mutual respect, and frankly, knowledgeable as hell. Really like the feel of you two. Do it guys!!
Smith & Wesson Model 16. 32 magnum is gaining popularity again. It would be cool if S&W came out with a 616 chambered in 327 Federal.
My five+ wish they still made; S&W 625's, Ruger 44 Magnum carbines "updated to take Dessert Eagle magazines and in .357, .44 and .50" S&W 4506,1006,5906
Diapsid the OG - Yes to pistol caliber carbines that use DE magazines
Love my 5906. A bit heavy, but so easy to keep on target.
I wish H&R still made revolvers.
I came from Connecticut and it was so damn expensive to lived there. There are a lots of new laws and High taxes against firearms manufactured that forced them to shut down and moved. My friend owned FFL class 7 and he operate the warranty station for Ruger complains that he want to move.
JoshTheRemover When I was 12, my friends GrdFather took us out to the back forty. Let us shoot s box of .22LR each out of an H&R Break Top 8-shot revolver. I couldn’t miss! I sometimes think about that, and wish I had one!
Beryl is now produced for Polish paramilitary called Obrona Terytorialna. Gun Industry isn't very huge in Poland, so you have to wait.
P. S. Where did you buy that Beryl?
Beryl is still a standard issue weapon of Polish Land Forces. Civilian version is the same rifle except semi-auto only mode. The thing is that the manufacturer (Fabryka Broni - FB in short) produces weapons mostly for an army and it's not really interested in civilian market, abroad especially. About 3 years ago they opened FB Radom USA LLC in Texas, but they couldn't pass the ATF regulations and almost all their products were rejected. The FB Radom USA LLC is no longer in operation. So, Beryl is still in produce (I have one :P) but not really available abroad and it costs 1230 USD here in Poland.
I'm glad I'll be a legit machinist soon. I'd love to reproduce some of these. I could care less if it's made by the actual company or not, my concern is functionality & dependability. ...And yes, I know I'll have my work cut out for me and for some it won't be feasible to reproduce it to OEM specs but it will be fun to reproduce some of these.
Never been a smoother handgun made than the Python. I've owned Diamondbacks, Custom 29's, and purty much everything in between and "off the shelf" the Python is the benchmark by which all others are judged, IMHO. Thanks for another great vid.
Aren't colt pythons only special because they're not made anymore? S&W makes hand-fit revolvers, as does many other manufacturers and they're all really good guns.
Sizukun1 Smith does not make hand fit revolvers, their performance center shit needs a lot of with to equal the action of a Colt Python.
Idk if they're hand fit, but I disagree that their stuff is "shit". I had a 686 SSR (Pro Series) that was the best feeling/shooting revolver I've ever had.
I prefer smith 66 over my python anyday
My father owns probably 30 Smith and Wesson revolvers from all eras. Without question his old model 10 (can't remember suffix) with pinned barrel has a better action than his new 586 performance center. The model 10 has not been shot much at all. This just don't make them like they used to. Its sad to me that a production gun from 50-60 years ago has better fit, finish, and mechanical smoothness than new performance center stuff. I love Smith and Wesson revolvers. They hold a special place in my heart but what they put out today is not worth the prices they charge. OK rant over.
Sizukun1 but it is not the same if it isn’t a Colt.
now where do I get that shirt?
It is of Tim at Military Arms Channel . Its his high school yearbook photo. Check over on military arms channel
The gun I wish was still made was the tec 9
Hell yea.. My dad used to have a full auto tec 9 back in the day. The most fun gun I have ever shot and ran like a champ never seen it have a single malfunction. I wish he would have realized what he had and kept it.
B&T makes a great tec 9 Clone. Little pricey tho.
i hear they're a Jam-o-matic. but its still a sweet gun!
you can still buy those pretty cheap still though
There are plenty of clones out there. Check out gun broker, then the semi auto pistols section with the 20-50 capicty
I can remember when K-mart had the Remington and Winchester.22s with the Weaver 4x scopes under $50.00, those were the days,
Ever since I was a kid in the 80s, when hear the word “Magnum”, I picture the Colt Python. A “Magnum” cap gun for kids would be modeled after the Python. Movies and TV would feature “a magnum” as the Colt Python
The best Dirty Harry movie Magnum Force features the Python heavily among uniform cops.
H&R guns as far l know never were 250 dollars.
most were under 80 dollars
Ashamed they destroyed H&R
Raymond Kisner He means what they are selling for now I believe.
I remember when you could get the shotguns at Walmart for around $100.
Cleetis McDougall I regret not buying one
2bit MarketAnarchist
Henry makes great single-shots now but they cost around $350+
H&R use to make a combo shotgun/rifle too.
Cleetis McDougall For $350 I could get myself a maverick 88 and a whole mess of shotshells.
2bit MarketAnarchist
The low cost and great quality of the H&R is why they are/were so great. Great first kid rifle/shotgun and truck gun.
Agree with the colt python but the browning auto 5 is my number 1 I wish they still made.
They still do
Gabe Allum no they don’t. The new one has the name only it’s a completely different gun and design.
oh, ok thank you
Yup, I also wish Brownings were still made in Belgium, but people say the Japan ones are still great quality. I'd add to this list the Colt woodsman, the Browning Trombone, and Winchester 1890
poor mac
😂
It's a great roast. He's a good sport about it fortunately.
i know ive been a sub for a few years. i thought about taking the picture of him and 22 plinkster and slapping a stronger together slogan on top and the hillary logo on the bottom making it into 2 shirts (i have a guy up the street that can) and send it to him and 22plinkster
Definitely agree with the Python! One of the most beautiful revolvers ever produced, I'd say. I have it's predecessor, the Trooper Mk III. Not a Python, tho. As this video is a couple years old now, it appears Coonan is down for production for some reason. They make the 1911 style pistols in .357 Magnum. Looking like the Coonan now could be one of the top 1's in your top 5 "wish they were still made"! I'm glad I have mine now, but if they don't get back up and running, who knows?
this is why I go to estate sales looking for guns, because the guns I want are not made anymore. And sadly there are many people who pass on and their kids don't seem to have any appreciation for their parents firearms and old tools.
I appreciate that you know resident evil enough to use it as an example.
caleb gonzalez the player's Magnum was a Python, Barry's revolver was a Taurus Raging Bull. His was a .44, yours was a .357, says so ingame when you examine both guns.
AwesomeAcidika you are right. In the remake if you let lisa trevor kill barry you can pick his magnum up, its chambered in .44. My bad haha. I still wish they made revolvers that looked like those in the game
What caliber is that last gun wildcard gun ? 5.56?
Kuddly Koala yes.
H&R was fifty bucks
Garrett Spencer I bought a Hatfield 20ga and I have "No Regerts" . LOL . For $99 I'll deal with the placement of the break mechanism , and the full vented rib isn't a bad feature . You can Bubba Gunsmith a Hatfield to your heart's content without the morning after shame .
Why did Remington turn? I heard about the quality control issues and they destroyed H&R.
Freedom arms was a holding company for many consolidated gin makers (Remington, Marlin, H&R, Mossberg, DPMS, bought by Crebus Capital. They cut so many corners, their quality was destroyed. The CEO was fired over it.
Michael Medley mossberg is private owned not part of freedom
Remington has idiot executives who come up with stupid ideas to cut costs, jobs, and quality, but think they can still stay in business. This is the pattern for all big business period.
keith moore This is exactly the story I heard. Exactly. A 500 Million a Year New York Hedge Fund Manager is behind it and the mission was to buy the Iconic American Gun Companies and passive aggressive make the whole Civilian Gun Ownership Experience crummy. Wean the Folks off the American Gun Culture exactly like the Boy Scouts and NFL Football. Would love to know one way or another if this story is true.
I heard Remington shut down the Handi rifles because they weren't making ENOUGH money on them. They planned on making a replacement that would have interchangeable barrels (the barrels must be hand fitted on the Handi rifles). Instead of waiting for the replacement to be ready, however, they shit down production before even beginning the replacement. Rossi and Henry filled the gap and now there is no market.
The Colt Python, 4" barrel, fantastic blue finish, walnut grip, best looking handgun ever!
I would love to see the LAR Grizzly.45 win mag made again.
Or at least replacement parts for the one I have.
It's fun to shoot and tends to draw attention at gun ranges.
I first fired one back in the 80's in my early teens.
When my brother found one a few years ago, I snagged it the next day.
Wasn't the MKIII the Trooper?
Bobo The clown The Colt Cobra was a Trooper too, just made to look like the Python.
My bad, the King Cobra was based on a trooper.
