I just received a new, in the factory box. 3" Python. I was surprised that there was no test fired case in the package. No biggie but I thought all new Colt's were test fired and shipped with the test case. Did they change doing this?

I have never gotten a test fired case with a new Colt, including my late model Cobra.

My last Python and Anaconda (both bought in the 80's) had test brass included......

I'm not an expert, but there was some kind of legal requirement for the spent cases in some states. Because a manufacturer had no way of knowing where a particular gun might get shipped, they just included the fired cases in everything. The law went away when surprisingly enough it was finally realized that not one crime had ever been solved using all those probably millions of spent cases stored away in the Indiana Jones warehouse.
That's probably not 100% accurate, but it's more or less the gist of it.

Nice grips, on nice revolvers...kudos
Yep, Maryland gave up requiring this from gun manufacturers.
