Hmm. I have 2 blued pythons from the late 60's and early 70's and, 14 k frames ranging all over in age. I gotta go with both. They are all accurate, and each has their unique points. Mechanically? The python is the "heavier" of the two and will likely stand up to a steady diet of .357 longer. However, who really does that still? perhaps it's just me thinking that way. I was going to feed a steady diet of 357, I would get a model 28/29 or a GP100. All my older guns only see lead and moderate 38 level charges, regardless of the case loaded. My 357's pretty much get saved for the GP100. (mostly because I won't feel like it's irreplaceable if I do manage to actually wear one out)
Someday I may wear my pythons out and they will likely be non-repairable at that point. But until that point I will enjoy them to the fullest.
a year or so ago I would have said get a K frame since nice copies could be had for 6 bills and sometimes under. Just looked at the prices on GunBroker now, and have no clue what's happened to the price. insanity. So now I will say get whichever ones suit your fancy and budget.
