Not a terrible price for a Python.

My only problem is I want the Anaconda.

I want an Anaconda in .45 Colt please.

I don't see a price listed in the add (apparently they're out of stock now) but I just paid $1700 for one from a local dealer last week.

I'm a Smith and Wesson guy, or I keep telling myself that, but these Python's (I have three now) are starting to work their way under my skin. They are FINE revolvers.

The Python has always been a beautiful piece of machinery, I can certainly see how they grew on you so quickly!

Stay safe.

When I was in JR High - High School I worked in a reptile-centric pet store and had snakes as pets. This ad with the Burmese in the background and the Colt in front always did double-cool duty for me.



Maybe one day I’ll pick one (or more) up.

Stay safe.

A local/range shop had a 6" one for sale at $1,799 yesterday. That's the lowest price I've seen since they've come out. I thought about seeing how low they'd go, but I was there to shoot a S&W model 52 I had just picked up a few days ago so figured I should let the wallet cool off a bit. Hopefully they get down to MSRP by the end of the year.

Yeh, I had a similar situation reddog. My LGS had a brand new 6” Python for MSRP $1599, I had just bought a Ruger Redhawk and a Magnum Research BFR that month.....had to give the wallet a break as well.

What was it priced at? They are out of stock already.....

 

[Targa]

It was $1799

Every time you post that thing you are closer to costing me $3000. Just looked on GunsAmerica and they have one for $2895.

My dad now has 2 Pythons and an Anaconda that will be here in a few days. MSRP of $1300 for each gun. People paying $3k for one are nuts in my opinion.

 

[Jonesy814]

An area shop has the Anaconda. They want $2500 for it.

Just wondering if anyone here would trade their old python for a new one.

No. I actually have two “old” Pythons, and I’m not convinced the “new” ones are better. Something about the phrase, “they don’t make them like the used to,” is just so appealing.

Holy smoke!
Maybe I'll just get a Manurhin MR73 for that kind of money.

I agree I own of the the old ones too. Not willing to buy a new one but if I was given one I would not turn it down.

The new ones are just as good IMHO. Manufacturering processes are much more exact vs what it was years back which renders much of the custom fitting obsolete.

The MSRP for the Python is $1599, so they should be $1400-$1500 retail. Dealers who are selling them for $1700-$2000+ are making a nice few hundred dollar profit and then many have to pay even more in taxes because of the inflated price. I refuse to pay above MSRP for any in production firearm.

Unfortunately, dealers have a habit of applying a surcharge if a popular item is new and hard to get.

Same for auto dealers, try and get a new Corvette at it’s MSRP of $60K.

I remember that add.

Just wondering if anyone here would trade their old python for a new one.

If I had an old one, I wouldn't. Why would I? That wouldn't stop me from buying a "new" one, but I'd sure hang onto the old.

I've got a Smith and Wesson Model 19-4, but when Smith and Wesson reintroduced the Model 19 (-9) I was one of the first in line to grab one. As a shooter, I think it's a better gun. As a work of art? Maybe not so much. It's not ugly or anything, but the older gun has a panache about it the new gun maybe doesn't have. But for something to stick in a holster and knock around in the real world, that's the one I'd grab every time.





If I could only have one of those? If I planned to shoot it, carry it, actually work it? The -9. If I wanted it to be a safe queen...which this one is...the -4 every time. Oh, and I'm not basing that one this one particular -4. I've owned I don't know how many "classic" Model 19's over the years. My first handgun was a Model 19. I love 'em. But as a shooter, the new one is my favorite.
