An Angel brought me a NEW Python

[ACES&8S]

My wife bought me this New Model Python Saturday, after I finally sold
a firearm I had been happy with when I first got it then health problems
& the weight of it were to much. An Auto Ordnance 1927A1, GREAT GUN,
just to heavy & eats ammo like crazy.
She didn't tell me what she was going to get, just like Billy Joe & Bobby Sue, she
took the money & run. [ I guess it really is her revolver, even if she did hand
it to me, she says it is when people show up] Gone about an hour & brought
this back.
Gave it to me but every person shows up she says it is her revolver, in her name
so I guess she wins, even if it was my money= our money she says.

That's a rather nice display for that revolver.

 

[Pat Riot]

Very nice.
Perhaps if your nice she will let you shoot it.
Sorry to hear you had to sell your Thompson.
That is a nice revolver taking it’s place though.

THAT'S A KEEPER, AND THE GUN TOO!

The Python I've tested, the trigger
is right at Colt specs, 6 pounds or
a little less for SA and 9.5 pounds
or a little less for DA. The DA I
considered perfect. SAs were
extremely crisp.

Congratulations. You're going to enjoy that one I predict.

I've got three of them now as I'm sure everyone here is sick of hearing about. My wife twisted my arm a month or so ago and "made" me buy her one of her own when it turned up at the LGS. They all three are great shooters, that I shoot better than any revolvers I've ever owned for some unknown reason. I've done almost all my shooting D/A which is totally different than my normal practice, but they just beg to be fired that way. The S/A is good, don't get me wrong, I just really haven't used it since the first trip with the 6" gun. Mine all three love Berry's plated 148 grain wadcutters over the standard loading of Bullseye with Federal primers, but 125 and 158 Berry's shoot well too.

I am pretty sure she really wants this one for herself, because I was looking at the 6" barrel as in WOW, but she
liked the 4" barrel which showed up of course.
She did present it to me with 2 witnesses as if it is mine but guess who showed it to everyone who came by, she did.
Plus always mentioned how it is registered to HER.
I guess I will just have to let her have it, then she can't stand mag loads so 38 special sort of down loaded for her.
Means I will have to slam down the cash if I want that 6" barrel.​

Nice Python, nice wife, but I think you meant Billy Joe and Bobby Sue, two young lovers with nothing to do- but sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube. Yada, yada, yada, yada, Bobby Sue took the money and run [sic] .

Seriously, nice Python, and as long as she lets you shoot her Python, good wife.

Your right I had John Cougar stuck in my mind. I will fix that. You must be = Billy Mack
I had to look up the detective's name.

They make the new model in Blue?
I thought they were all stainless.

 

[ACES&8S]

It is a different finish than I have in any other, I tried 6 photos to get the stainless look right
but it has a dark stainless appearance. Maybe anyone else here has the same look to
theirs. You can turn it slightly away from you & the one side looks as if a light blue.
In face my son noticed the original oil on it made him think it was supposed to be
blue, until you wipe it off & it shows the stainless better, that it probably what we see
here, plus a bad photographer.
Pretty soon it is going to look powder burnt.

Interesting on the color/pics. I’d like to see it in sunlight

I will take a better look in the morning outside. Just thought, is there an oil that has a blue tint? Probably not.

 

[CajunBass]

Does it look that color out of the picture? I assumed it was a reflection, or a trick of the light that made it look like that. Mine can be hard to photograph, as can any bright, shiny stainless/nickle finish. Here you can see my reflection in the 4" one.



We won't even talk about sunlight, flash, and such. I'm no photographer as anyone who's seen my pictures can testify.

Here are 3 pics out in the sunlight this am. Still has a SLiGHT blue tint to it outside & indoors.

[ACES&8S]

I don't have a stainless or nickel revolver, pistol, or rifle, to compare it to.
I have LOTS of firearms, this is the only one outside of blue, matt, that sort of stuff.
Son's have some to compare, maybe.

 

[shoebox1.1]

I like it

 

[CajunBass]

Looks good to me!
