New Blued Pythons!?

[NY-1]

No official word from Colt themselves or any other media outlets yet as far as I've seen, but someone on a different forum posted a link to this video and I'm certainly enthused!

My 4.25” barrel has 2 vents, this one shows 3.

Glair off the bluing maybe??

Where is my credit card? A blued model would definitely encourage me to buy a new one.

Very nice, didn’t think they’d go blue again, I’m in!

I don’t think so, enlarge the picture. Definitely 3 slots.

Could be their DLC coating. A person on the Colt forum had the custom shop produce a couple of them but last word was they weren’t doing any more. I also understand the Night Cobra and Two Tone were DLC coated. I’ve only seen one Night Cobra and one two tone in person and have tried to get a fight cobra but have had no luck unless I’m willing to pay $1700. Sorry, no thanks. Nice. Finish though.

I have 3 of the new Pythons and would consider a DLC finished Python.

I’ll be at SHOT tomorrow. The Colt booth is at the top of my list for just that reason, to check for blue/black Pythons.

Note the waviness in the finish on that demo model. I sure hope the production guns aren't like that.

I am guessing that is a DLC and not carbon steel done in blue. Still, it looks nice and I could be wrong.

You may be right

Hopefully well know soon. I noticed that hammer appears to be "Blued on sides". If I recall normally blued guns had exposed steel on hammer sides. And any custom shop DLC guns that I have seen appear to have hammers fully covered in DLC. Regardless exiting news...

It's official, ladies and gents!

At the Colt booth in SHOT.
Mission accomplished!

It’s Twue! It’s Twue!

Also checked out the 432UC at Lipsey's booth.

Edit: The spec sheets are accurate; they are actually blued carbon steel.

Spec sheet for the 6" model.

Waiting on the blue snub.

Something new

I see on another site someone has a ‘70’s
blued Python for sale at $2000.

I’m thinking why would I buy that when I
can get a brand spanking new in the box,
untouched better built 2024 Python, several
hundred dollars less?

I just don’t see old Python prices worthy of
high pricing anymore.

Ditto, and you’ll see prices dropping, imo. I sold my 1980 EN just in time.
