Had to have it...!!!!

Snake Plisskin · Jun 1, 2019

Went to to the local gun show today. I had a Python back in the 70's and like a dummy I sold it for something else I thought I needed. I had been looking for a long awhile so when I saw this beauty this am I went oh man " this was a want but not a need " but I broke down anyway. Now I have my bucket list snake gun back in my possession. 1979 vintage a very good year.

Looks super clean, nice work, Snake.

Nothing like a blued python! Fired it yet? A Python is on my bucket list as well. Still holding out in vain for new production line...

Thanks guys, No not yet, It will be soon. It didn't come with a box but that doesn't really matter to me . I just wanted the snake gun not a box

Very nice find. Enjoy!

Snake

Another sweet acquisition!

I trust you realize that you're going to have some explaining to do with your S&Ws as to what this new Colt is doing in your gun safe with them!

I do not believe there will ever be new "Pythons." But if there ever are new Pythons that live up to the name, and are at all comparable to the original guns, then they will cost about as much as used Python costs now. The excellent fit and finish of a python will never be available at moderate prices.

I have extreme doubts as well, but a boy can dream.

Well I did get the "evil eye " from my S&W's

Pat Riot · Jun 4, 2019

Very nice, Snake.

One way to keep the S&W jealousy down is to take them all out to play together.

Some better pictures

I totally understand, your impulse.
Nice catch Snake.

I'm a simple man.

I see revolver pics, I hit 'like'.

Can I ask roughly how much that set you back snake? Just trying to stay on top of the snake gun prices

Probably too much I guess without a box but I thought I have seen them for more $$ online and not too many around here for sale and I was specifically looking for a blued 4" .It is in pristine condition so having said that $2500 , I know :what:

but what the heck.

All kidding aside, the Colt Python is one of the finest revolvers ever made and are worth any "reasonable" price, certainly worth the price you paid, imo. The Python was pricey then; is pricey now and will only become more "pricey" in the future.

First gun I ever bought myself back in '74. Some burgling orc stole it and I was lucky enough to replace it when they were still under $500.00.
Great find, glad you were able to pick it up.

Yes, but the one downside, they'll make you such a trigger snob. Can't abide a mushy trigger now.
