I was in a LGS today right after they had purchased three handguns from someone. One was a S&W model 41 with the short and long barrels. One was a Colt Diamondback of some sort (I didn't see it), and the other one was a Colt Python in .38 Special with an 8" bbl. The Python and Smith were in boxes, but had been fired. Are these .38 Special only Pythons a gun that would command a premium? I would think that most folks would prefer a Python in .357. I figure that the Python in .38 with an 8" bbl would have been used in silhouette shooting?
I ssaw the paperwork for the purchase laying on the counter and the shop paid $500 each for the guns. This seems low for the Python. Heck, it may be low for the other two. I couldn't really have afforded it, but I wish I would have been outside the shop when the guy was coming in.
