This to me is a fail from Colt. 1. It is not Royal Blue 2. Only 2 barrel lengths? 3. Ruined the classic look which I would think would alienate the type of buyer that would be interested in a blued revolver in 2024. The original Royal Blue Pythons are very beautiful guns, they DO NOT have blued hammers, and have the proper amount of vents in the barrel rib which should have been 2 NOT 3 in this barrel length. Maybe I am off base but $200 more for this I think will not sell as well as it would have potentially if they did it more true to the original. I believe the type of buyer who would be more into this would be more traditionally minded thus not as likely interested in this Blued Python in its current configuration. Good luck Colt, hopefully you will bring back lightweight revolvers next and some new ones.

Wish they'd make the anaconda in 45 colt again. I'd buy at least one but probably two if they did.
