3leggedturtle -- I was thinking the 8 inch would stay on there indefinitely --- but now I don't know -- (I have S&W k frames's in 2.5" and 4" persuasion already that I am happy with )
But a couple of the comments here do make me want to try them all now
About a year ago, I cashed out on my relatively small Colt double action collection to build the kitchen the way I wanted to in my new house project ---- one of the ones sold was an 8" Python that I miss a little bit (I don't necessarily miss the Python, but I miss having a repeating handgun that's as accurate as a carbine out to 75 yards in single action mode if I do my part)
--- With Dan Wesson's reputation for accuracy and a great single action trigger -- I hope I have found the snake's replacement
I likely didn't shoot my Colts near enough for it to be a genuine issue in my lifetime, but the difficulty in repairing those critters if/when they do need some work plus the wild Gunbroker prices for those just led me to keeping them in the drawer, unused and un-loved
----- but the sale of them got my ex wife boutique appliances and nice oak moldings and cabinets throughout , so I cannot complain too much (except for my wife now being an "ex" --- ouch )
I hope to update this thread soon with a range report -- even if its an indoor range, but this beast deserves to be shot outside
