Need? Maybe not. But even if a second Python is purchased simply as an investment, it is a very solid investment.
The same goes for the NIB Cobra. If nothing else, it's a solid investment.

I know Tex, I just have to justify spending the money. Im going to get the Cobra, but I just dont know about the Python. I prolly should because he's letting it go so reasonable.

Well, my Colt Detective Special arrived today. Yee haw!!!!
It's a beauty. ILNIB. It has been fired, but hardly at all. A very light carbon ring around each chamber and a very light ring on the cylinder. I'll post pics when I get home.

I finally got some pics taken and saved. This one is a 4th generation model that was made in the mid 90's. I'm still waiting for the Badger grips to arrive. I think it will look much better once the rosewood grips are on it.
Here's the long awaited Detective Special....

That's a good lookin' DS, Tex. I'm still looking for something like that in my neck of the woods, but I have decided to have patience and wait for the right one to came along. I sure hope I have better luck with the Colt than I did with my ex-wife.

Here is my S&W 642 CT. I was shooting 5 rounds at a time with my laser yesterday at 30 feet -- and all 5 holes would disappear under a silver dollar.

That is beautiful Ed!! I love it. The Badgers will look so good on there too. You did well. Now...get to the range and start burning powder!!

Nice Smith kashton. Those laser grips look very compact. Sounds like it's great shooter too!
Kev, Thanks for the compliment. I loaded some ammo using 6.0 grains of Blue Dot over a 158 gr. Meister hard cast SWC. I hope to get some range time on Saturday (after spending time in the deer stand).

A Couple Recent Pics
Finally picked up a pair of Bianchi SS from CTD. 642-2 with 405CT and Mika Round Cut.
.357 Speer Gold Dot 135 gr for short barrel at the range last week. 25 feet.
Smooth and amazingly mild.
M&P 340 with Hogue Monogrips.

ak-kev Thanks. Now I have to see how the grips affect the shooting. Both sets feel real comfortable, though.
ironvic Real nice 686. And, I agree with you. After seeing pics like collector14's I'm feeling the need for a nice Colt snubbie.

Your right fiVe, this is a great thread! Thanks Phydeaux for starting it! I shot the Detective Special today and had the same great results. The 158gr LSWCHP were hitting POI at 15yards. For me.....thats incredible.
