Well, I was browsing the local gun shop yesterday
when I came across a 1976 6" nickel python in "minty" condition as my friendly dealer put it. It had been fired, but looks like new and the action feels super. This shop gives you a test target, fired at 25', and its one tight cluster. He let me fire it to feel how it shoots, and its is spectacular in the hand. Of course, even though I just bought a Les Baer premierII 1.5, and am totally broke, I took it!! I really have a bad addiction, but I can't help myself. One question I have for Dfariswheel, or someone else, what do you think about sending it back to colt for the once over and any tuning? I get a one year guarantee from the store, but for a few dollars Colt, whom I called to get the date of manufacture, said they will clean and look it over for $56.00, more if work needs to be done of course. By the way, since I am a customer the gun sold for $950, a lot of money but the S&W's just don't feel or fire the same to me.
