Colt Python .357 Reviews

My wife is using this pistol to keep squirrels off the bird feeder and geese out of the yard. Very easy for her to use and it gets the job done. No kill shots but close enough and loud enough to keep the critters on the run. She is getting forty full power shots per CO2 cartridge. Its light and that makes it easy and comfortable for her to handle. Magazine is easy to load, easy to remove, easy to install, and handles BBs or pellets equally well.

Put a dove tail on top to accommodate a small reflex or red dot sight.

With all of this COVID 19 stuff going on shipping times are a little longer than normal but not bad and Pyramyd communicates status very well.

Nicely balanced, good construction, accurate, good value.

Looks good havent shot it yet came in real fast!

I was skeptical at first but this is a great little CO2 gun. Construction is mostly plastic but still has good weight to the gun. Rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The trigger when shooting single action is light and crisp. Double action trigger is not as smooth but easy to get used to after a few shots. Back yard friendly due to low noise and is pretty accurate considering it's a smooth bore, I seem to have better accuracy with the BBs than the pellets. Easy to load CO2, I get around 50 - 60 accurate shots with CO2 before power begins to dissipate.

The adjustment for the windage requires a very, very small hex tool. Needs to be bigger! The front sight blade needs to be accented with a different color as it easily gets lost in shaded light conditions.

A small tool to help seat BBs and Pellets in to magazines is helpful.

Very nice, looks real, fires pretty good.

Not much, can't think of a thing.

Its a lot of fun.

the gun is plastic ..................and when you call the answer is ."All pellets guns are now plastic ,didnt you know that .No i didnt .

just advise the customer the gun is not fully made of metal easy.

This gun is as close to perfection as you're going to get. With its adjustable sights, it is extremely accurate. It feels just like the real thing, only lighter, and if you're more than 20 feet away from it, you can't tell the difference. Changing out the little 10-round magazines is quick and easy. It has a little hexkey inside the grip that you use to seat the CO2 cartridge, so you don't have to worry about whether or not you remembered to bring a hexkey. Single-action trigger pull and double-action trigger pull are smooth and pleasant.

Nothing.

Get one. Trust me.

Light, shoots pellets and is accurate

Swing out barrel

Good value for your money

The wheel clip locks into place so laying the gun down or putting it into a holster wont move the clip missing a shot, this is the main problem with the Vigilante.

UPPER SCOPE RAIL...! ,,, what were they thinking..?,, low quality sights, no white dots, and no way to mount a red/green dot sight....? DUMB,,, JUST DUMB...!

Forget about the stupid replica aspect and put a weaver rail on this baby and you've got a winner.

The size is right and grip fits my hand. You can shoot it single action, which always increases accuracy.

Needs more metal and more weight. Very light. Not sure about accuracy yet. Doesn't seem great, but I'm just getting used to it. Also could be the weight. It's hard to hold a light gun steady. I put some white paint on the sights, which might help too.

Everything on this gun is plastic unless it absolutely has to be metal, like the inner barrel. The obvious gun to compare it to is the Crossman Vigilante. The Vigilante is far heavier because it's all metal, but it's huge. I wear XL gloves and it's too big for me. This gun is a more realistic size. If I can get it to shoot accurately, I'll like it. Otherwise, it's a pretty cheaply made gun.

Bought this in July couldnt be more happy. Level of detail is great. My son can get inch groups offhand at 24 feet with crosman premier competition. Fuzzy eyed Dad not as much. I like the light weight it makes it easy to shoot offhand. Great pistol for the money. Just as accurate as my Dan Wesson 715.

Leave it alone

Great garage gun I can go shooting any time I want just move the cars first.

accurate, good trigger, fun, cheap, what more could ya ask for.

not a thing so far.

you'll have fun with this one.

well, like his little brother the 2.5'' this 6'' version is awesome in every aspect, the gun is verry light but don't feel cheap at all, like it this way it's a hole to hole shooter, ergo is awesome, trigger pull too, hammer mechanism is extremely well made, only good point about it.

less dust in the box, when I received mine, I had to wipe the gun with humid cloth to remove the carboard dust. Other than that the gun was perfect and operate perfectly.

I'm using RWS R-10 Match pellets, they work pretty well

Easy to use. Weight not bad for it's polymer construction. Holds 10 rounds.

Nothing.

It has the looks of the Colt Python, but cheaper than the full metal version, the ability to shoot pellets was the major selling point for me, course it will shoot bb's too.

A little more metal in the frame.

Like I said, it has the looks and feel of the real deal, can't be beat for the price and the 10 shot rotary magazine is great. Keep a couple loaded up and you are ready for some serious plinking!

The easy loading of the 10 shot pellet magazines which holds the ammo secure, accuracy, and at least 90 shots per CO2 cartridges easily engaged with grip mounted wrench.

Do something to add some heft to the pistol or put the 10 shot magazine in the all metal model. Provide a true Weaver type mount above the chamber.

To aid my old eyes, I was able to mount a Gamo Green Dot sight on the rail above the barrel. Afraid to use BB's as some say they ruin the groves in the barrel. I sighted in at 21'.

Accurate with pellets, easy loading, smooth trigger, comfortable grips.

Nothing.

Great pistol for the money. Light, but not insubstantial. Well finished, shoots accurately at 10 meters. Pellets are loaded in a magazine which is then inserted behind the cylinder. Very convenient and fool proof. Seems to have the velocity claimed but this is just an off-hand observation.

This revolver had everything I wanted in a CO2 pistol. FIrst, it is the only Colt Python that shoots pellets. Second, it is very accurate when shooting as a single action, although it will shoot double action as well. It comes with a total of 3 (1 with the pistol and 2 extra) BB rear cylinders and 2 metal pellet rear cylinders. Each holds 10 rounds. Although it may not be as spot-on to the original as the Python's that have the entire cylinder that rotates, I did not want to deal with loading individual "bullets" with BB's to get that level of realism. After all, this is for fun shooting and I did not want to make loading and shooting it a chore. Also, those other pistols hold only 6 BB's in their cylinders. As an unexpected bonus with this rear cylinder setup, you can hold this revolver steady nearly anywhere in front of the trigger with your off hand without anything (ie: the cylinder) rotating and spoiling your concentration.

A great value for the money...lightweight, accurate, shoots BB's AND pellets,,,all in all I can't think of anything I would change.

I nearly did not order any extra BB's with this revolver, since I have a lot of the Daisy copperhead's on hand; however, they literally fell out of the polymer BB rear cylinders that came with this revolver. Luckily, I had ordered some of the Umarex steel BB's and they fit the cylinder perfectly, are accurate, and do not fall out when you carry those 2 extra loaded cylinders in your vest pocket. The Crossman pellets that I have used so far, seem to fit the metal cylinders quite loosely. I may try some other brands I have to see if they fit tighter, since it is nice to be able to carry a second loaded cylinder when you go out shooting.

it looks like the real thing

nothing

good buy, purchase

This a perfect copy of the real thing. Do not change anything. The ability to fire both pellets and BB's is a great idea. And the safety under the hammer is a great design.
