When I was around 11 years old a friend of my mom took me to the range. He brought only one gun and let me shoot 38’s to my heart’s content. Towards the end of the session I happened to read the scroll marks, “Python .357” I asked to fire a .357 and he obliged. A love affair was started that day almost 30 years ago.
They were still being made by the time I was old enough to buy my own but just starting out in the world it wasn’t in the cards. Then came marriage and a young child with special needs and the rising cost of a Python kept me from a dream. January 1, 2020 the announcement was made Colt was reintroducing the Python and I was elated. Two and a half years later I finally have the prancing pony in my little stable.
As many have said, if you want a Python the only thing that will scratch the itch is a Python. I’ve had many of the offerings from S&W and they are in many ways better guns but they are not a Python.
