I have heard that the Colt 1911 9mm barrel is inaccurate and that after market barrels are better, is this true? Also, does anybody have any information on a "MODEL 1972" Colt 1911 9mm? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Alliant Powder issued a warning about using Blue Dot with 357 magnum! It's on their web page. http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=47935

What is your opinion on the Rock Island Armory 1911 38 Super?

Thumblers' is the way to go! Wet or dry, no problems, no dust, no vibration hum noise. If you think about it, those vibratory things just beat themselves to death the second you turn them on. The big thick black gasket on the drum will take years to wear out. Thumblers is it!

Clean everything with rubbing alcohol including the inside of the primer tube. Use CCI primers.

Forget the Dillon powder check, all it does is eat batteries. Get a Powder Cop or Powder Check die.

Tumbling loaded ammunition is a DANGEROUS thing. Not because a bullet may ignite the primer of another round in the tumbler. Powders are milled to a specific size and shape then sometimes coated with inhibitors to achieve a specific burn rate. When powders are tumbled the size and shape of the...

Get a Smith and Wesson, firing a Ruger is like driving a tank! I've got a 629 - 5" with one of those stoned and honed trigger packages and it's all that and more. I did a side-by-side comparison between Ruger and S&W with the same ammo at a range before I paid the cash and the S&W convinced me...

Hey Mr. Warner, Would you like to give it a shot?

Thanks Old Fuff The crane seems fine. It looks like the bolt has a sloppy fit in the cylinder. I'm gonna send it home! "WHERE ARE ALL THE PISTOLSMITHS!"

I was schooled in engineering and have the Kuhnhausen books but that don,t make me a pistolsmith! My problem is that sometimes after firing the Python it leaves a small fingernail shaped half moon piece of the bullet jammed between the cylinder and the forcing cone. It's obviously a timing...

I don't think I,m going to let a class of rookies dabble with my Python!

Does anyone know of any quality pistolsmiths in northern California that can fix a Colt revolver?

Thanks for all the good advice everyone, I really appreciate it. It seems to be functioning correctly now. If it happens again I'll send it to Colt and have a professional give it a quality tune up. It's a really nice revolver with an Exxxxx serial number that still shoots straight.

I hosed it with Balistol.

After putting about 100 rounds through a newly acquired Python the trigger would not return leaving me in an awkward situation. I now have a loaded revolver that can't be shot or emptied of live rounds! After banging it on the shooting table the trigger finally released (just kidding). I pushed...

Yes, I'm sending it to Colt! Thanks dfariswheel

This particular Python has the 2 pin front sight. Numrich does have a barrel. Thank you very much for the information.

Does anyone know where I can get a barrel for a Colt Python? Any size, nickle plated.
