I can get a model 29 for less than $1000. Do the Colt Pythons really perform better than other Colts, or any gun for that matter? They cost now around $2000. Or is it just the mystique and the fact that they aren't made any more. (One of Colts bigger mistakes when they threw their customers under the bus).
I first saw a picture of a Python in a Field and Stream back in the '60s when I was a very young teenager. The looks of it turned me off because it appeared that they set out to make a bad *** ed looking gun with the vent rib that also gives the illusion of the gun being bigger toward the muzzle. I thought it was pure hype then and I still do. Just wondering how good they really are compared to an old S&W 686. The trigger on mine is like silk in DA and crisp in SA. Personally, I'd rather have mine than a Python. What do ya'll think?
