Good shooting! Looks as if you've gotten things honed in. As far as buying a Python, maybe not, but have you ever driven a Bentley? I've got a 6" Python I've had for several years, premium firearm. I just picked up a S&W 15-4 about 3 weeks ago, very nice revolver, will it replace the Snake? No! But I now have that option when I choose to try something else. You'll more than likely get some various comments about the Snake, good, bad, indifferent, but those that have them will swear by them hands down. Its what one wants in firearms, just like different makes of automobiles, if you once shoot a Python for awhile, you might have some varying degrees on whether or not they're that good, worth that much money. IMHO.
