Nothing much prettier than a blued Python, but I didn't miss mine for a second after I sold it
1962 4" Colt Python... The GOAT?

I'm in complete agreement with you. I had one for a time, sold it, and don't miss it at all.

The action and trigger esp in DA don’t compare to many S&W revos I have. It surely doesn’t stack up to the MR’s I posted yesterday. If this one left the stable I wouldn’t miss it all that much, but I think everyone who’s a revolver fan should hav at least one snake sitting in the safe.
There is just something about the iconic look of a Python that I can help but say, wow

Yep, can't wait to see pictures of an Iver Johnson "Trailsman" revolver hiding out in the weeds.

Got a cpl,they're nice enough. My favorite is the Hunter. It's my scoped,light varmint rig. Meaning,this gun has seen a fair share of midrange cast loads.... probably around 20k. Still can tear a beer can up @100.I've had more S&W's with timing issues than any of the Colts? Have a bunch of both brands,and never got the fanboy "this vs that".... but,whatever floats your boat. Heck,I shoot a 7" Ruger Blackhawk 357 as the "heavy" varmint rig. It's even taken a cpl deer.

If you read the OP, you would have your answer... As already talked about, no it is not. I changed it out... I do still have the original black blade.

Beautiful gun! I’ve never been bowled over by Python’s but I’d sure like to own that one. I have a MINT S&W 15-2 with a mirror blue like your Python. Made in 1967. Still in box with wax paper and tools. Haven’t shot it and might never shoot it. I have plenty of revolvers for shooting but the 15 comes out just to admire. It never fails to impress those who see it.

Greatest Of All Time. Which is the S&W Registered Magnum, in my opinion. I don’t own one of those, either. Too rich for my blood.
Wish my Python was as mint as yours. Mine shows a little holster wear by the muzzle. My muzzle is one inch closer to the cylinder though. That's a little harder to find.
Mine like yours doesn't get shot. Just admired before getting wiped down lovingly with an oily rag before being put back in the safe.
I have a gp100 if I want to beat on something....or lay it in the dirt. LOL. just kidding
