Seeking Advice on Wilson Combat Sights for Colt Python

I’ve been looking into upgrading the sights on my Colt Python and stumbled across Wilson Combat sights. I’m particularly interested in understanding their performance and how well they integrate with the Python.

Here are a few questions I have:

  • Compatibility: Are the Wilson Combat sights a direct fit for the Colt Python, or will I need to make any adjustments? I’ve also heard they could fit the Anaconda—has anyone tried that out?

  • Accuracy Improvement: For those who have installed these sights, have you noticed a significant increase in shooting accuracy? I’m always looking to improve my game at the range!

  • Installation: How difficult is the installation process? Do I need special tools, or can it be a DIY project?

  • General Feedback: What are your overall thoughts on Wilson Combat sights? Are there any alternatives you’d recommend?

I’d love to hear from fellow Colt Python enthusiasts about your experiences and any advice you can share. This community has always been great at helping out, and I’m excited to hear your insights!

I had a slight issue on my older model Python, but a little filing fixed it. Just be prepared for that if your model is older.

At the end of the day, better sights may lead to better shots—just don’t lose your old ones, or it might be a case of 'you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone!’

I’ve installed Wilson Combat sights on my Colt Python, and they were a game changer! Just make sure you have the right tools, like a brass punch and a sight pusher. Precision is key for a perfect fit.

If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, I highly recommend finding a local gunsmith. It’s worth it to ensure accuracy, especially with a classic like the Python!

I’ve seen mixed reviews on DIY installations. A friend of mine messed up his Python trying to install sights at home. It’s a beautiful gun—don’t risk it unless you’re confident!

True! We all want our Pythons to look flawless. So if you’re nervous, it’s better to let the pros handle it.

When I installed mine, I used a sight pusher tool, and it worked wonders. No damage, and it felt satisfying to do it myself. Just take your time!
