Actually Paul, that already has happened. The 1981 Colt Catalog depicted an 8-inch barreled Royal Blue Python in .22 rimfire caliber. I had the $$$ squirreled away to get one as soon as they hit the distributors inventory. But, alas, it didn't happen and only 3 actual revolvers were made in that caliber and Colt executives snatched those up. Can you just imagine what those three would be worth if they hit one of the auction sites these days? :

I consider myself primarily a shooter but have accumulated a few guns and parts over the years. Python in .22 l.r.? No problem! The old Bienlein conversion does work.
