Excellent, thanks guys!

Racinbob, You're a gun safety officer... What do you think about the question in my most recent post? What should I have checked out prior to using, given that I am a Newbie and this is such an old piece? It was only fired a couple of times, so maybe it would act like new, but I don't...

Is this safe? Saxon - That is a nice looking collection! I'm glad this is what I inherited! Everyone - What do you all suggest regarding having the revolver checked out before firing? From the Colt forum last night, I saw a thread regarding timing issues with Colt Pythons, and how you...

I'll probably find a nicer case, shoot it once in a while, learn how to clean it really well, and just keep it in great condition. This thread has made me want to just keep this one as is, and get another to take the the range!! :banghead: So if I can have a little fun and not hurt the...

Hi everyone... just to answer the question, it does have the original box and papers. But, being from 1961, the box is a little beat up, with tape on a couple of corners (it's not one of these nice new plastic cases). It was fired twice (as in two rounds), then cleaned, and went on a tour of...

Thanks Jeff. The gun is beautiful isn't it? That thing is even older than I am! Only by a few years... :) You guys have probably seen a ton of these, but I'm adding another picture. Will be fun to give it a try.

You guys are great Thanks for the warm responses, my father would appreciate it! :) Part of the complexity is that my wife is a non-gun person so that would take some serious work. For that matter, I have never been either. I'm not opposed, and in fact with the current administration, it...

Thanks Phydeaux... I'm not sure about selling, but curious about the value. What if I kept it and used it once in a while at a range. Would that diminish the value greatly?

Hi everyone, I hope this is an appropriate question, as I am new to the forum. My father recently passed and left his 1961 Colt Python 6 inch, Blue. He fired it once at the range to make sure it worked. It was then put away and never fired again. It looks brand new to me - just beautiful...
