You missed a good Python.....

[DMTWI]

This would be my only python:




Thirty or so years ago I picked up a Dan Wesson .357, the Python was a little more $$ and I was a poor college kid at the time. Still have the Dan Wesson though, not a bad gun at all....

FT Retirement Plan

Fat Tom,
There was a thread about retirement Money the other day in the Lounge. Now I know your plan

 

[The Highlander]

I'd sell my 4"er for half that....

Most definitely in the mix! Will be a last resort in most cases though.

If thats worth 6k what is my NIB .38spl Python worth?

Don't really know,but a buddy of mine sold his nickel Target a while back for $2,500. No box or docs. I told him he was making a mistake.

Here is my favorite. I probley showed it before.

 

[Maximumbob54]

I guess I don't feel so bad about paying just under $1K for mine then:

It came with the rubber grip but Altamont fixed that for me. I'm waiting for Ditrina to show off those amazing snub Pythons of his.

I really like the looks of my Trooper .357 from 1968, better than any Python.

 

[feralmerril]

I have a couple of those too. The nickle thanks to allen frame. I bought a new one in .357 and carried it many years on my job and stupidly sold it. The blue one is a 22lr. They are just like the python mechanicly but lighter to pack as no rib or ejector rod houseing.

Here's my one and only (box and documents also). I wish I had never sold the 4" and 6" blued models I had at one time!

 

[sipowicz]

My brother has a 6" Python from the 70s....I love the look but really like the 4"ers better for shooting...Always found the 6 way too muzzle heavy.

 

[bushmaster1313]

Personally, I like guns that I can shoot all day without worrying that I am hurting the collector value.

Along these same lines:
Went to my LGS last saturday to pick up my mdl 36 and a 27-2 being shipped to me. The owner said he has a guy who comes in every friday and buys a gun. He said, it's his "Retirement" plan.
52 guns a year... I could only wish..... Maybe because i have
expensive tastes in weaponry.
