Thanks for the replies. Glad to hear I got a good deal then
...especially as I have just seen that every Python advertised on GI is well over $1K!!!
I still feel a little likme I am being unfaithful as the only modern handguns I have ever owned have been S&W.
I have a couple of old Colts (1861 Navy and 1849 Pocket Pistol) but I never considered them "real" guns..they are antiques and are to be looked at through the glass of my display cabinet..lol
