I have a Python (4" stainless) that I bought new in '92 and I'd NEVER sell it. I paid something like $700 for it back then and could care less if it's worth ten times what I paid since it's not for sale.
If your wife finds out how much your dad's Python is worth, and given the fact that she's anti-gun, I bet she makes you sell it.
One of the many things I love about firearms is that they retain their function if not their value. I have a Winchester '97 shotgun made in 1921 that shoots and works perfectly today just as it did when it left the factory almost 90 years ago!! How many things in life can we say that about.
As for owning firearms and not using them ... what's the point? It's like putting seat covers over the seats of a new car ... who are you saving it for? Your dad had a stunning Python and only put two rounds through it .... what a waste of a fine revolver. I hope you keep it and put 10,000 rounds through it and think of your Dad whenever you shoot it. Maybe your dad was saving it for you.
