Dear THR:
Which revolvers do you have from Colt snake series? What your experience with each and which do you like the best?

I have the following:
King Cobra 4" ss
King Cobra 6"
Python 4" ss
Anaconda 6" ss

I came across a 10" scoped python but could come to table with the seller. For my purpose the snake series is fine line by Colt. I would like to add a couple more Pythons in 6 and 10".
Thank you

Pythons and Diamondbacks only. I don't have anything with the more modern Trooper action.
 
Never saw or heard reliably of a 10" Python. Nor would I want one unless I got into guns as speculative investments instead of shooters.
The 8" guns are already awkward with the long lugged barrel on the .41 frame.


Oh, yeah, 6" Python Colt Custom Shop PPC Distinguished gun; 4" Python Jungkind IDPA SSR.
 
4" blue Python and 6" Anaconda. I'd love to have a 6" Python STS and a 6" 22lr Diamondback either STS or nickel, to complete a tiny collection of externally (somewhat) similar revolvers in .22, .357 and .44. :)
 
Snake

The only snake I have from Colt is a blued 6" Python that I shoot quite often. I also handload for it. Like you I am looking for a couple more to keep her company.
 
I had a Python 4" blued, but I traded it for a 4" stainless King Cobra. I now also have an 8" Anaconda to go with the KC.
 
Trooper Mk V and III are what I have. I don't need a full underlug. I'm fine with folks who like that, it's just not for me. The Mk V is all I need or want.
 
Last time I looked those 6" king. Cobras were bringing some good money,,almost tempted to put my 6" up
 
Snake Pit

I have all the "Snakes". Here is some (can only download 4). They are .45 Anaconda, 44 Mag Anaconda, Boa, Cobra

My wife gave me a 4" blue Diamondback .22 for my 50th birthday. A few years ago I acquired a 4 " blue Diamondback .38 just so it would not be lonely. Then a friend offered me an early model 5" (yes! 5" inch!) Cobra with Venezuelan Federal Police markings at a reasonable price. So there are presently 3 snakes on the premises.

The 6 " blue Python that I owned ever so many years ago was sold to make a mortgage payment. So I guess you could say it saved my life without even firing a shot.
 
I have a 4" ss King Cobra. I let a 6" ss Python get away several years ago. They wanted $600 and I didn't want to spend that much then. I saw one at the LGS a few months ago for $3,000.
