Perfect Gun 3” 65. I agree. I carried one for client protection back in the day. Sold it, hurting for cash. Wife’s bills add up fast! Dang it

I’d be upset. That would be a conversation revolver. Same revolver or not, unique in my mind

DW 1911 Screw Bushing Not quite the same problem, but my brother has a Sig 40 Elite with wood grips. The grip screws kept backing out all 4. Tried nail polish and blue Loctite, same thing. Super Glue cured it. One range sessions one of the screws fell out before that treatment. Screws are...

Beretta Centurion Great gun but too much money for me. Love the thing. I’m a revolver guy, old school . Colt Agent from 75 last purchase. The auto you have would home with me know but 92 compacts are available for half that. Make love to it!

Assembly numbers

Nickel PlatedCo Guns I’ve also seen Colt MK III for Detroit Police, 5”, special order from Colt

The Trooper and it’s predecessor, the 357 Magnum are fine revolvers, I’ve had one of each 4”. Great guns but I prefer a heavier barrel and bought the shooter Python. I can’t tell much difference in the action but My Python has 2.5 lb trigger with never a failure. Compare it a new or even an...

Ruger PC9 Friend tells me they will be available in FDE with fiber optic front sight....I really like the ghost ring rear sight. Great but I’d like to see it on a rail for a longer sight radius. I’m old and can’t see an open rear sight, ghost ring on a rail would be idea. I’m sure all will...

If you want some interest in mid 70’s Colt DA revolvers, type in 1975 Colt Agent or any other from that period. There’s old catalog pages that I remember well, being 71. I had ‘74 catalogue but I can’t locate it. Enjoyable, new Agents, Cobras, Pythons. The latter 2 were like $175. I’ve been...

The bluing on the steel of my Colt Agent is fine. The alloy finish on the frame is a perfect match. How did Colt do this?

Colt 4” Nickel Python Pythons are collectibles in LNIB or NIB, but not for me. They to me are just very accurate, hand tuned revolvers. The collectible factor has driven up the price of all of them. I love my earlier Smiths but my Python has a 2.5 lb factory trigger pull and is the most...

Nill grips are great but beyond the price most are willing to pay

Python Horsepuckey. It’s individual preference. The 2nd or 3 rd Gen stocks are fine, the 3rd gen with raised checkering is horrible, especially DA. I’d like to try the Thailand full checkered. They do make excellent stuff. I’m a Colt nut. Maybe I’ll move there!

Nickel Python 4” I never thought this was collectible, I bought it used for a shooter and have about 3500 rds 38 thru it and a handful of 357. The NOS Eliason front and rear sights, although not original to the gun, were considered an upgrade and were prfofessionly installed. The stocks are...

I have a Python about 90% that I installed NOS Eliason sights on. Thailand smooth wood stocks with matching grain on the bottom. Any idea of value? I’m thinking $2000
