I would never consider trading my 5 1/2" Model 627-0 for the fanciest version of what ever Colt cobles together for new .357 double actions. Colt has a track record of making one DA model after another with DA pulls that are inferior to S&W's old design. While it's not quite as bad as S&W naming new autos M&P and Victory, recycling the Python name does not make Colt's new effort similar to their old V mainspring revolvers. It may turn out to be Colt's best DA yet but that has to be proven.

I'd rather answer a different question, if I was choosing one to own for life would I pick my 627-0 or an excellent condition old Python? Without a doubt I'd keep my 627-0. If I was only buing to resell then it would be different. Many a monkey would trade more than one of his best bananas for an excellent condition old Python. However, that has absolutely nothing to do with what the price of used 2020 "Pythons" will be when everyone who looks can easily find a used one for sale.
