Colt Pyton for $599

Hard to say without hands-on, but if you have the discretionary income, DO IT! If it's as nice as it looks, it's a good buy.

you wont find one cheaper

A Python that's at least half what the current asking price should be would make me extremely wary. Proceed with all due caution and let us know what you find out about it.

Somebody bought this one on 6/16 for $446.

Your user name ends in "CA." Does that mean you're in california?

If so, the Python cannot be imported into the state which means you'll likely not find another speciman.

Buy it.

If you're not in california, you can have the Python refinished by Colt and still have less in it than a mint Python. Buy it.

I would jump on it, and send it back to the factory for a checkup, absolutely.

Yep, I would buy it right now...

Buy it!

If Cabela's is selling it for $600, they gave no more than $400 - It must have some ronds downrange through it.

It just sounds too good to be true, especially from Cabela's

I would pass. I've found Cabelas to overprice their guns for sale rather than underprice them. Buying it as a project gun, assuming it needs work, is risky as Colt is starting to run low on parts for these guns, at least that's what I was told by Colt.

Here, you can buy used Pythons for $300-$350 most of the time...

Just kidding. That is awful cheap. Look it over and expect to put some money into it. But it still might be worth it.

That gun above, the one which is the "fixer upper"... it appears to me to have been in a fire. If that is the case, the thing's just as liable to blow up on you as anything. Extreme heat can make a blued finish have a "baked on" appearance and it will destroy a heat treat in nothing flat. I wouldn't shoot it!

Buy it, send it to Colt for a re-birth and consider yourself lucky.

JMHO.

Buy it before someone else walks out with it.

I own 2 Colt Pythons, and believe them to be one of the most over rated firearms of all time.

I would buy it in a heartbeat

pm me with address and phone number of the Cabelas it's at......i'll take a chance.....

"believe them to be one of the most over rated firearms"

Why don't you sell the guy one of them at a cheap price and get rid of the worthless junker.

If Cabelas is selling it that cheaply I'd be very wary of mechanical issues. One trip to Colt to fix a (or multiple) problems quickly puts this revolver over $1000. The old saying "if it sounds too good to be true" may apply, IMHO.

That "poor fixer upper" looks as if some idiot took a grinder to it, to sorta take the roughness off before I seld it. Look at the hammer in one pic, looks as if he tried to straighten it with a pipe wrench. Some sucker paid dearly.

The colt auto next to it has a price of $2K ON IT. I would be asking myself "What is wrong with this thing, and give it the lookover of a lifetime".

Price is good, but almost too goo
d at a big box retailer.
