Probably Grant Cunningham or Frank Glenn... good luck getting in though. Have your tried your HTF and asked there? There might be a good local smith that others in your area have dealt with. Never hurts to go in a shop and feel a guy out. or you can try http://www.coltforum.com/forums/
Edit: deleted worthless banter

I think Colt still supports steel frame revolvers, and if in fact they do, it is the ONLY place I would send one.

If you don't mind sending it cross country, Bachelder in Michigan may be worth calling. Does great work, and can pretty much handle anything that walks through the door.

Colt no longer services older wheel guns like the Python or Detective Special. I called last month for work on one and they said call Cylinder and Slide.

Read about this on the Colt forum, apparently Colt had been sending their wheelguns to Frank Glenn. Then Colt announced this month they will no longer service any revolvers other than Gen 3 single action army. Grant Cunningham says he has retired, can't do manual work with his hands anymore. He is also referring people to Glenn. |

If Colt took your Python in for service they will service it, even thought they're shutting down doing repairs on any new work.
If not Colt Frank Glenn in Arizona is the go-to guy. He's a Master pistolsmith well known for his Colt revolver work and gets top ratings from customers over on the Colt forum. His pricing and turnaround are great. If Colt has your Python and told you they weren't going to do the work, contact Brent Turchi, who's Colt's customer service and Custom Shop manager. He's very well known for helping resolve issues with Colt work. |

When I was last in touch with Colt I was advised that some of their parts bins are empty. When they are depleted to a point they were going to end support of the pythons. Sounds like thy have reached the point.

Apparently Colt has ceased all double action revolver repairs and will no longer accept any for any work at all.
This seems to have been somewhat of a sudden order from management that caught everyone by surprise, thus taking in guns for repairs then returning them unrepaired. The best source for Colt DA revolver repairs for quality of work, pricing, and turnaround is Frank Glenn in Arizona. Another source is Cylinder & Slide Shop, but C&S is expensive, and very slow. I've also heard reports of C&S using Non-Colt factory type repair techniques that some Colt owners may find objectionable unless all you care about is the gun functioning. |
