Congrats on a fantastic deal. Very Nice!! I had a couple of 4"ers and a couple of 2 1/2"ers but never a 6"er...... Should shoot very well. I don't know that I would call it a poor man's Python, rather, the ultimate in manufacturing art, of the "Police Positive" line of fabulous Colt revolvers!

If I were you i'd immediately go out and buy some lottery tickets.
Congrats on the great buy! Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. A few years back I was in a local sporting goods store brousing at the gun counter. One of the employees brought out a shotgun I had been looking everywhere for, but could not find, even on the net. It was the only one they received. I asked how much and the price was way below what they were selling for if you could fine one. I immediately said SOLD! Nowhere near the bargain you bought, but it does happen from time to time.
Where exactly did you go to get sprinkled with "fairy dust?"

He should take his new Bushmaster and smack his wife over the head with it or making him sell a gun in the first place! Sheeesh...
My Colts (and Smiths) values have increased WAY more than my stupid 401K, and I can have fun shooting them too.

Poor man's python
I guess am neither poor nor rich, but just plain patient and persevering! My wheel guns were acquired after long hours of researches, watching, walking all aisle of gun shows, and bidding to just lose at times and winning at the right moment. My Colt 22 Diamondback, Python and S&W K38, all 6", are 99% condition with the Python having the best blueing of all. I had fun shooting them all until couple of years ago when I decided to concentrate more on my shooting sport discipline, the Olympic small bore rifle.

Your post renews the thought that deals are out there if we can only find them.
Congrats on the find.

That is a $2000 gun.
OP
As requested, this is the entire package.
IIRC they used to come with a
test target.

I was shooting a Python in 357 a few weeks ago which belongs to a friend. He had it at the range and offered me a turn with it and gave me 5 rounds. I put 3 in the center with it at 25yards which was better then he can shoot it. I don't think he will offer me that gun again from the disappointed look on his face. His is in about 95-98% condition. It was really nice to shoot I will say.
