First Python

[doc540]

couldn't pass it up at a LGS

my first Python

has some minor finish issues, but the timing is perfect...trigger is exceptional

 

[M3Stuart]

Good for you!

Now get some Python Boots to match...just kidding.

I'm new to firearms. I honestly expected to see a snake here!

Nice revolver.

Nice snag. Pythons are something special.

Nice snag. Pythons are something special.

Thanks, hope I can keep it.

That's why I listed another revolver today.

One goes, one stays.

Good trigger time ,to you...& Congrats.

I regret selling mine , always on the look out for another 4" blue

 

[Duke44]

Very nice gun. I've wanted one for a while now. Someday....

 

[JPriest]

I've turned into a pretty much all S&W guy, but I have to admit I wouldn't pass up a nice Python. Nice find. Congrats!

 

[Silver Dollar]

Well done. That's a beauty.

Nice gun. I hope you enjoy it. I bought a 6 in. gun in 1965 and it went out of the house every morning with me for 40 some yrs. The only reason I got rid of it was to give it to my son so I can enjoy watching him shooting and enjoying it. Larry

I think that maybe the first Colt grips I've ever seen that I really like.
Most of them look like they came from a pallet or they don't look like real wood.
Congrats on getting one you wanted.

 

[Roadtrash]

Congrats on that one. Sure wish I had mine back again.

I have collected three over the years Two blue a 4" and a 6". And I had a electroless nickel 4" with rubber colt grips I picked it up last year. The story was it was bought new and the owner said it went out of time and he sent it back to colt and the custom shop tuned it and returned to him and he passed away. I bought it for 975. One of my shooting pals bugged the hell out of me for the blue 4" and I offered him the nickel for 1300. He owns it now, and he don't bug me about a python anymore. They are nice guns but they are mechanically fussy. I can work on my Smiths but I would hesitate to put any tools to my Pythons. I love revolvers the more the better,

If you're going to stray from S&W, that is a very good reason. Enjoy!

Thanks

We still depend on a S&W wheelgun for our "downstairs" protection.

I don't care where your gun brand loyalties are, if you can't appreciate a Python there is something wrong with you.

Nice grab.

You know that cylinder turns the wrong way.

 

[doc540]

You know that cylinder turns the wrong way.

totally confused me in the gun store today

btw:
Since the grips don't match, what do you recommend I put on it that's priced south of $100?

 

[poorbroker]

Very nice find, I always liked and wanted a Colt Python but due to their higher price I had to go with a S&W 586 then a S&W 686. Been a happy S&W customer since that time(about 1981). But having said that, I would still like one of those beauties!
