I've been on the hunt for an Colt Python 4" barreled beauty for quite some time. Not that Christmas is coming shortly, no bearing on anything. I was almost in convulsions 3 weeks ago, this LGS had the one I wanted, in the box, no paperwork, $900.00! I asked the counter guy if he'd take $100.00 down and hold it for me, "Can't do that sir, boss won't let me." "I'll bring you the rest in 2 days, please!" "Can't do it." By now my knickers are about to get soiled badly! I came home, called my buddy and asked if he'd loan me $500.00 for 2 days, I need this revolver bad, I'm about to purge my guts!!!!! "No, I'm going to Ariz. elk hunting in the morning with my son, I need all the cash I've got.............. I went back the next day in a cold sweat, Python was gone when I got there. End of story, I cant go on. :banghead:
