Colt Python 6” vs 4.25”
Timeout_for_Lunch@reddit
I love shooting the 6". 4" is more practical for carry, but I find the 6" a joy to shoot.

Shorter one is cooler, blueing is beautiful on both

The 6 inch barrel would be more accurate. It all depends on what you’re gonna use it for the shorter barrel would be better for quick draws but the 6 inch one would be a hell of a lot more accurate.
CrypticQuery@reddit
They just announced blue 2.5", 3", and 5" models, so it looks like your decision got even harder!
FixGreat4649@reddit (OP)
Really? When that happen?
CrypticQuery@reddit
Apparently earlier today. They just added them to their website.

Both man!
Cykabl4t@reddit
I have the 6”, it’s incredibly accurate.
Squirrel_Works@reddit
As soon as they make the 5" in blue I'm getting one
fitzbuhn@reddit
Well have I got exciting news for you
GullibleRisk2837@reddit
Do you have any revolvers already? If so, get whatever is less similar. If not, I say grab that 6 incher.
TheNefariousMrH@reddit
6in barrel would be my first choice.
InformedReader87@reddit
6”
MrProvy@reddit
Which ones older (assuming they're used)? I would go with the older one, or whichever one has the original box.
FixGreat4649@reddit (OP)
I was looking at the new ones, $1700. All the old ones I find are $5000-$8000 and more for collectors.
FizzyBunch@reddit
Are you a hunter or precision shooter?
FixGreat4649@reddit (OP)
Really neither.

If the technicals are not super important get the one you think looks better.
I’d go with the 6” barrel. Just looks awesome. However they are both beautiul
Outrageous-Basis-106@reddit
6" is better for accuracy but I think the 4.25" is more fun and probably does a better job teaching accuracy.
Tacoboom2323@reddit
I much prefer the balance on 4 inch revolvers, I prefer the looks of the 6 inch; shooting experience is more important than aesthetics imo. You should try to hold both if you haven't done so already.
