We're at the local gun shop a couple of days ago. It's pretty sad really. The offerings in the cases are few and far between these days. As I glance into one case thought, something catches my eye. A 2020 Python, with a 4" barrel. I've already got two 2020 Python's, one 6" the other 4" but this is the first one I've actually seen out on the counter.
I asked to see it out of curiosity. A nice gun as expected. Trigger is better than the 4" I already had. The grips are darker, but that's normal. What I do note is the S/N. PY205XXX. My 4", which I bought about a year ago, is in the <5600 range. Man Colt has been churning these things out. The price while a little higher than I think the MSRP (1700 vs 1500) is, was nowhere near what I hear people are paying for them. Of course these days, there is no wiggle room, especially on a NIB gun.
I hand it back as my wife comes up and as always asks what I'm looking at. I told her, then handed it over for her to see. As always she asks if it's OK to dry fire. The clerk tells her it's OK. She dry fires it a couple of times. Her face lights up. "Are you going to get it?" I told her I've already got one. "So? I don't have one." <sigh> OK. If you say so.
So "we" are now the proud owned of another "4" 2020 Python. I suppose there are worse things she could have asked for.
You see one of these things I guess you've seen them all, but I hear "pics or it didn't happen."
I didn't say they were good pictures. Will she ever shoot it? I don't know. She doesn't shoot much anymore, but she's talking about wanting to go to the range Saturday, if not later today. She shot my 6" Python last year and liked it, so she might fool me. Good thing I've got plenty of 38/357 ammo loaded up.

My wife has been responsible for the majority of our purchases over the last 10 years! memtb
