I the early 80’s I was looking to get my 1st centerfired hand gun. At 1st I wanted a PPK/S but they weren’t available yet & was talked out of the .380. So it was on to .357. Most cops carried S&W, only a few carried Colts. When I asked the RO at the range filled with NOPD, he said Colts didn’t handle full 357 well causing timing and triggers problems. Sound to me like they are built just the same.I've read on line quite a few purchasers sending back their new Pythons for operational or reliability issues. That just did not happen in the 70's or 80's with new Pythons.
Enjoy it man.Great opinions on both sides of the question and I sincerely appreciate all the input. I already have several old Smiths, Colts and Rugers (especially fond of 3" 357s) and several "high end" 1911's and ARs. I guess the bottom line is this: I don't have a lot of years left and not an abundance of money. However, I have more money than time so what the heck - Merry Christmas to me! (And my son/grandson will thank me one day )
Merry Christmas to y'all, too!
The m73 that I got to finger was the demo that was sent to TFBtv for review. The front sight was bent out of the box. Not too impressive for something of that pedigree.
It's a great piece. If you wanna feel one out I would be opposed to you shooting it if you wanted. It's the NXS in 357.I've been considering a Korth 357 for some time and now that they have a 3" model I'd like to add one to the collection. The thing is, I'm somewhat value orientated and I'm having a major issue convincing myself that they are worth north of $3500. Thats more than double the new 2020 Python. I would pay that for a nice vintage 3" Python but the Korth is still in production. What makes them worth the cost?
