Hello every body,
Let's do a new review !!! I must confess I can't stop ordering model guns nowadays....And when you will read this, another one will be in a plane(another Tanaka but chhhuuuuttt, it is a surprise:))...
Anyway today it's a model which I always love, a Colt Python 6" by Tanaka Works.
I have already some Tanaka airsoft (including a silver Python) and each time it's a pleasure. Let's see if it's always the same thing.
1 / The box :Here is what you get !!
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7602](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7602.jpg)
I like the box, simple, sober and clear.
Inside :

Ok we have :
- The colt
- 6 Tanaka metal cartridges
- a loading tool
- A user manual in Japanese (it will be put into the instruction section)
2 / The look :![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7605](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7605.jpg)
You can see and confess it's beautiful. Even the cartridges are nice.

It's the HW version. When you take it the first time, the weight is quite good. You feel it's ABS but the HW is very helpful.
The finish is as usual as Tanaka perfect !

![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7624](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7624.jpg)
Look at that, the abs is really perfect, no defect at all !
If you see something on my photos, it will be dust only, it's easy to understand, I think the finish is totally perfect !! It is better than my CAW old model army which is however more more expensive!!

The grips are not real wood but there are well imitated. I will looking for real wood grips if possible but I don't know where at this moment.

![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7617](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7617.jpg)
The markings are not so many but we have in first side :
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7612](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7612.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7613](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7613.jpg)
And other side :
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7614](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7614.jpg)
Just one thing, there is only 1 defect that I find, a very little.
Look that :
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7627](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7627.jpg)
Do you see the little screw that goes beyond?? Yes it's strange. Maybe I can cut it or better, open the gun to see what is that screw.
3 / Cartriges and Loading :Like I say previously, the cartridges are really beautiful. There is markings on they, here :
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7631](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7631.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7645](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7645.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7608](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7608.jpg)
They contain 3 parts:
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7609](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7609.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7610](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7610.jpg)
This model gun use 7mm caps unlike USP or Glock I think.
With the loading tool, push the cap into the cart :
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7646](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7646.jpg)
Close the cart and it's ready : very simple.
Now it's time to load, pull back the "I don't know the word" and the cylinder open. Put the 6 carts.
It's ready !! (hum, ok here there is no cap, so the part inside cart goes down...)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7628](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7628.jpg)
The Tanaka system is simple: the hammer doesn't have detonator pin. It is flat. It hits a part which hit the cart, look:
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7641](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7641.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7621](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7621.jpg)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7620](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7620.jpg)
You see the yellow part? it's this part which hit the center of cart.
The fire is very good and loud, it's often the same thing on revolver.
After fire, you can push a bar to eject carts (nice!)
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7629](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7629.jpg)
Use again the loading tool to remove the cap and clean the cartridges and gun.

There is as usual the famous bar in the barrel :

4 / To compare :Yes this section is to see this model gun next to one another.
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7635](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7635.jpg)
Ohh 92 you are small!!!
![Tanaka works Colt Python HW 6" IMG_7636](https://2img.net/h/i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h354/momocampo/Tanaka%20Python%20357%20Mag%206%20pouces/IMG_7636.jpg)
Ahhh Python you are small!!! lol
5 / To conclude :Ok it's time to have an opinion.
Ok it's not metal but I love it! Yes I-LO-VE-IT-!!
There is just a question, maybe someone will help me. Do you know if all the model gun are 1.1 scale? I ask that because I think the python cylinder is quite small. The cartridges are thin too. I must say I have never see a real python but this Tanaka python is as big as the real one???
Anyway, This gun is really beautiful, the finish is great, the cartridges are really pretty and the fire do "bang", what do you want more???
