HIPERFIRE
PDI Drop-In Triggers
Many aftermarket drop-ins are notorious for light primer strikes (LPS). Not so with the new PDI line of triggers. These drop-ins pull at around 2 pounds and sport HIPERFIRE’s unique HIPERSHOE that now mounts onto a curved bow, not just straight. The hammer strikes surpass SAAMI’s copper crusher spec and hit harder than MIL-SPEC M4/16 hammers. The four PDI versions feature a hammer collision bumper. hiperfire.com
COLT
Python .357 Magnum
Colt has released a refined and upgraded Colt Python. The legendary double-action revolver, which originally debuted in 1955, returns in stainless steel in 4.25-inch and 6-inch barrel lengths. Numerous improvements were made to reinforce the revolver, including the use of stronger stainless steel alloys and a re-designed rear sight which allows for a 30% increase in the cross-sectional area of the top strap, meaning more steel beneath the rear adjustable target sight, for a stronger revolver and more robust shooting experience. Finally, Colt built on the modern Snake Gun legacy by adding features such as a recessed target crown, user-interchangeable front sight and an updated walnut grip to make this the most user-friendly Python ever. The DA revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accommodates .38 Special cartridges. colt.com
