My uncle was in Nam' 66-70 and performed several different duties in his role with USMC.
I showed him my 4" Colt python, and he recollected several GIs having them in Vietnam.
I was surprised to hear that.
I asked if it just a one off and just one guy had one, but he recalled seeing dozens of guys with them. I am intrigued that so many Colt Pythons were used in Vietnam. He also didnt think he was mistaking it for another model of revolver, and was pretty certain it was the Python.
Im interested to hear other info on this if its out there.
