New Blue Python BROKE! ugghh

[Mark_Mark]

14-4! Smooth as any Korth I’ve handled, Cool Guy design in America by Chad, probably the best SA trigger in the World! 1/6 the price of Korth and anybody can buy one!

Mic Drop! BOOMMMMM

My Korth doesn’t mind my crappy reloads but it has become sluggish when I am “cylinder dumping” and heating it up like a yahoo.

DANG that looks good!

Don't want a Korth but if I did, I'd just factor the money
spent on other guns and what their resale value is.
Suspect that paying for a Korth that way would be easy.

I have a 6" current production stainless Python that has a couple boxes of ammunition through it and it performs well.

I just bought a 4-1/4" blued current production Python that has not been shot yet.

I have plans to replace the sights with Wilson sights on both if necessary but these are projects for the future.

I have a Manurhin MR-32 (32SWL) and MR-73 (357 Mag). I've only shot the MR-32 and am impressed with it. These revolvers are well made but they are a bit pricey.

Of course, the base standard is the S&W 586/686 series of guns. I have a 586-0 and and a 686-6 for comparison.

Kinda why they all had to go to MIM and CNC. I hate to see what the future holds for employers. Problem I see, is quality and hard work, once a priority for employees, has been thrown out the window. Employers themselves are to blame because they no longer see quality as a priority. They see quantity as the priority. Everything is now considered disposable. Why make it last, and decrease your demand? All one has to do is look at the life expectancy of appliances, HVAC systems and even homes themselves anymore to see customers don;t want them to last.......because they will replace them in 5 years anyway with something new. I see the same with domestically made firearms. While many of us still shoot grampa's old SxS, many folks out there always want the newest and the baddest out there, no matter if it has a painted finish and plastic. In 4 or 5 years when something else comes out, like a computer, it will be outdated and looked down on.

Not to go too off topic - but you are spot on. The firearm manufacturers like ALL big businesses are looking at shareholder returns. They don't give a hoot about quality in the product as you or I might want it - they care about making money, and more of it every quarter, and a rising share price. They order the minimum cost quality that will move the dial on financial returns. The employees do what they are hired to do and get paid to do as they are told, or they get fired. Same in refrigerators, cars, washing machines. In those industries you don't see made in America as a priority because we, the consumer, in aggregate, don't care. The comparatively very small segment of consumers buying firearms does care, so they make that a priority, and are loud about it. But you never see ads acclaiming "now with CNC precision and superior fit MIM parts!".

Well anyway, I hope by the time I finish reading this thread, MM's python has been returned in perfect condition, with an apology and a nice pistol rug.

Run that Blue Python and let us know how it runs? and what the serial number range?
