What a neat old Python. Looks like a 3" tube. Wouldn't it be splendid if Colt were currently producing such a nice .357?

Thanks for that, eh? I've never seen a three-inch Python. I've heard of them and read about them, but never seen one.

A few months ago I found a guy who had a couple of 3" Python barrels for sale. But he wasn't sure which version they would fit. Seems Colt changed the threads on them somewhere along the way.

I got to fire a 3" python a few years ago. It was SWEET.
While I have always loved the 6" Python, the 4" version just left me cold.
The 3" though was GREAT. It feels and points much better than the 2½".

I wonder if the Colt Custom shop would make a 3"?

I guess that's why I don't buy collector guns. I don't want anyone advising me not to shoot them.

Never understood the allure of a safe queen. Sort of like a beautiful virgin. What's the point?

Bought the gun over the phone as a shooter,and was planning on changing the barrel from three inch to six inch to comply with federal gun Laws in Canada.After finding out the Gun is a very rare and expensive Python with only three hundred made ,It became a safe queen to be passed on to a collector in the USA. Still looking for a shooter.

I'd shoot it if I owned it.

I'd shoot it if I owned it.

Hell yes. Me too!
I'd shoot it a lot.
And I'd even further deflower it by occasionally carrying the durn thing.

Just bought the perfect all around shooter and carry gun.Colt 45 SAA second generation,so the safe queen is good for another day.Bang.
