Colts bad QC

[palmettomoon]

That may actually be a passed QC $900 pistol. I mean with union shop labor costs and everything associated with manufacturing a firearm today, would you expect the quality of yesteryear? It'd be like tooling up to reproduce Hi Standard Supermatic Citations. One fully kitted out and of the same quality as a Hamden pistol of the late 50s or early 60s would have to cost $4,000+ in 2020.

This is akin to the blue loctite thread and the new Python.......

At least you have a sense of humor about it. LOL

I packed it up in a Glock box to ship back to Colt. Haha.

When I got home yesterday I was surprised to find that Colt sent me a brand new King Cobra without ever letting me know... What's great is that no one had to sign for it either... Great customer service right there.

yeah, S&W hillary holes ain't got **** on that.

I’m not up on revolver terminology but a Hillary hole sounds pretty bad. Even bill doesn’t screw with those. OP glad you got taken care of.

The finish looks good but let's just say the Lands are still not even. This is a completely new gun with a different serial number. I had a buddy look at it and he noticed it as well when I pointed it out. This will be my last paperweight I buy from Colt.

I was just pissed Colt never gave me a heads up that they were going to ship a gun to my home... Then FedEx just handed the box to my father without anyone signing or knowing what it was...

How much do these new pythons retail for?

The Pythons are more like $1699.
