Welcome to the dark side. That one is a beauty.
When I went to buy my first handgun, I knew I wanted either a Smith and Wesson Model 19, or a Colt Python. This was about 1978 or so and a Python cost about twice what a Model 19 did. I became a "Smith and Wesson" guy that day, and have never regretted it.
I got my first Python about four years ago, when the 2020's hit the market. I've got three now, two SS and one blue. They were worth the wait.
