I'm quite sure you'll be more than satisfied. Now the big question is how long till your next big purchase?  If you are like me, you keep saying " too many guns, not enough time ( or money) ".............. MiKeMaN |

Mikeman;The way things work is like this,if my brother becomes fond of something else,and less fond of the Weigands in the future,I'll be here.He gets first crack at the cash,and I get first crack at the Weigands.I still have one Weigand and he still has one Wilson "Protector",We are not finished. ;D

Hey DA,
I bought your Weigands off your brother today.... ;D
just kidding.
My bet is that you will end up with the Weigands and the Wilsons in the future. THEN you'll be humin'!
While I got you here, what are the threads for the ejector rod on the Python? My guess is right handed and the Smiths , left handed. Bassakwards?

TA; I have never removed the ejector rod on the Python,I do remove the crane/yoke to remove the cylinder for cleaning.I have someone on another gun site that will tell us,he worked at the Colt factory, has about six of the snakes,and is very knowledgable about things on our Pythons.I wiil ask him and be back to you on this.

I guess I didn't ask the correct question  . How do you remove the cylinder for cleaning? Thanks |

TA;I like that question a little better than the last one, ;D.Look on the right side of the frame,below the cylinder.You will see a large screw that is close to the front of the trigger guard.Find a screw driver whose bit matches perfectly with that screw.This screw is a right hand threw,so you will turn it counter clock wise to remove it.This screw serves the purpose on locking the crane/yoke into the frame,once you remove it open your cylinder crane,and pull it out.Once it is out you can see how the screw retains the crane in the frame.If you want,I can do it with photos and put it on the GUNMEN II site.Be very careful removing the torqued screw,don't burr the screw slot and don't let the screw driver bit slip.Put a firm amount of pressure against the tip as you slowly turn it to break the torque for the first time.It is most probable that the screw has never been turned,but being of nickel plate finish,it may not be very difficult.A good fitted screw driver bit is most important for working on firearms,some say Chapmans are crap but I have broken some tough screws with mine without the slightest burr afterwards.Keep me tuned in on this.

I think that it is a prereq. to drive our wives up the wall. Blackdog and I make our woman crazy because all we talk about is Guns and Cigars. We all went up to the cabin a couple of weeks ago and we spent better than 6 hours on the range. My wife yelled down during a reload, " Are you done yet, The dogs want out and so do we" We forgot that we keep the Labs inside so they don't chase a critter down range, and the girls stay inside because the noise. They love us though... I yelled back " sure sweetie, can you bring us a Cigar and a cold one" LOL
