OK, let me start by saying that I am just a recreational shooter. I bought a 4' Colt Ananconda new back in the 80s and paid about $450 for it. I love that gun but I was always pining after a Python just because, well, it's a Python. So I bought a Python Elite about a year ago for about $1050. Now don't get me wrong, I love this gun too, but after shooting it side by side with my Anaconda I can feel no difference between these 2 triggers. Like I said in my opening sentence I am just a recreational shooter, so maybe I am missing some intricate sensation that an experienced shooter might pick up (I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, honestly) but to tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed as I was expecting this smooth as silk, bathed in oil trigger pull that everyone keeps talking about. So my question (getting back to why I quoted you Mr. Berryhill) is why is this trigger on the Python, sort of a tension spring from what I can see, so much more desirable than the coil spring on the Anaconda....Sam |
