My new Smolt/Smython

I remember reading an article about the Smython when I was a kid. Thanks for the post. Cool gun

That is a sweet piece, and your write-up was great. I've known of the Smythons for years, but didn't know that they were mating Colt barrels to S&W frames even before the Python. They also put a few Python barrels onto Rugers in that era, but I thing a Smython is more appealing.

FWIW, I had a six inch Python and a four inch Model 19-5. With most .38 loads, I found the 19 to shoot better, although neither was that fun to shoot with full house magnums. I ended up letting the Colt go and kept the 19. I don't really regret it, though.

Years ago, you could get a Python bbl on a security six Ruger. A Cougar, I had one it was neat, sold it to buy Perazzi Trapgun.

Nice!! When people see this, I don't think they realize how readily available python barrels were . It was not like it is today...
