Reckon the Colt Python is any good aekpani?

Looks good but I only know it from TV series. No first hand experience.

What do you think?

The double action on a revolver makes the trigger heavy and impractical for a lot of matches, fine for when you can use them sigle action. But I have to agree, nice to own.

Fun to watch the cowboy shoots of the pro guys flying through cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger on those single actions :D

Shot first competition match ISSF standard @25 meters with my hammerli.
Not only me but everyone else was impressed with gun's performance too.
I was little on over left but it was due to my own mistake.

Target is attached

I've got a 208 too, wonderful pistol. I've had it for 10 years now, the guy I bought it off was getting rid of it because it was shot out. He was retiring it, and had 2 more unfired ones left. I've shot a match with it nearly every week since I bought it and I'm always surprised how well it shoots. Did you get the barrel weight with yours?

Your most likely talking about the Ruger MkIII Hunter.

Yep

I reckon that looks like fun.

Lots of people opposed to a little dress-up for some reason :|
