Dear Customers,
We are very sorry that the shipment of Python Revolvers that you received was defective. We understand your disappointment and appreciate the inconvenience this must have caused you.
There is no question that the product we shipped did not meet the very high standards our customers have come to expect and should continue to demand and receive without a doubt.
In our effort to improve the overall quality of our products, we have found the root cause that damaged the crown and immediately fixed this issue. We have since implemented strict Quality inspections to the production standards and can assure you that we are in the process of completing more thorough manufacturing and inspection. We can provide a reason for this issue and the solution if you deem necessary.
I can promise you that the highest quality standards will be met in the future because protecting our reputation for delivering the best product on the market is a key priority for us. Again, I apologize for our mistake and regret any inconvenience caused as a result.
We look forward to continuing the mutually beneficial relationship with our Customers.
Sincerely,
Colt Firearms MFG.
After manufacturing and quality control of each revolver the revolver (Frame, Barrel, Cylinder, Side plate cover, Crane/Yolk) goes through a polishing process. The polishing process requires the revolver to be fixtured on the barrel. Therefore, a change has been made to no longer hold by the barrel during polishing and completely removing any chance of damage to the crown and the crown recess. The quality department did in fact miss this issue, but has corrected it and thoroughly looking at ALL areas of the revolver. It is in fact a simple fix; we use a crowning tool that cleans the crown. We appreciate all of the feedback from our customers; we can also answer any of your questions.
Thank you.

So.... They, (Colt) admit they shipped
defective guns and apologized for it....
An entire shipment.. Not 3 or 4 guns. So yes, either that rep is lying, or whoever wrote that letter is. Since they shipped these defective guns, they NOW say they have implemented, "strict quality inspections". Why didn't they from the beginning? NOW they assure us they are, "in the process" of completing, "a more thorough manufacturing and inspection". After they made how many guns without one? They're well into 4 digit serial numbers as we speak. Your Colt boy in the video confirmed this.
They also admit to employing a polishing procedure that damaged the muzzle crowns on many guns. And only
after these guns came back, did they finally implement the change in manufacturing to stop it.
Those guns NEVER should have made it out the door.
This is an internal manufacturing and quality inspection problem at Colt, that involves many guns. Stop trying to convince me or anyone else otherwise. If you want to play Colt fanboy, do it elsewhere. This information is out there. Read it. I'm not making this stuff up, and neither is anyone else. And don't come back here whining about the source because you don't like it. Or don't want to believe it because it's telling you what you don't want to hear.
I don't give a damn what you think or believe either way on this entire matter. Just don't try to pi$$ on my head, and tell me it's raining.
These guns have issues. Colt admits it. If you don't believe it, then stay ignorant about it. Or better still, run out and buy one.
