| I have recently bought 2 pythons and while waiting on them to arrive I am curious as to their size. Do they compare to a N frame S&W or closer to the K frame smiths? |
|
I believe the Python is smaller than the N frame Smith but a little bigger than or very close to the K frame in size. I have a Python- It is loose in a N frame Galco holster. It fits a K frame holster ok. I only have the J frame Smith but I've shopped and handled all in my fav fun store.

You guys must be pups. Colt really got upset when the 586 came out because it is virtually the same outside as a Python. They use the same holsters. The idea was all those police officers that wanted a Python but couldn't get or afford one could get a 586 / 686. The balance pretty much the same in the hand.
So the short answer is an Python is pretty much the same size as a L frame Smith |

You did. I was bringing it up because of the stink between Colt and Smith. The dimensions are so close, I remember in an article Colt was rattling their swords to sue smith but they really did not have a case |
