Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
Thanks for the great input. I was able to confirm that a local range has a six inch model available to rent. I’ll definitely take advantage of that while keeping an open mind regarding its condition as a rental piece.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
I bought a 4" blue Python brand new around 1977 for $359.00. Sold it around 2004. It had the smoothest action of any handgun I ever shot. I wish I never sold it. Life is short and you only get one lap around the track, if you get the opportunity to buy one I don't think that you will regret it.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
I've held both the python and anaconda. Beautiful firearms, but at $2000 for a good one I'd rather go for a ruger gp100 either hogue grips.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
While overshadowed by the python, the Colt diamondback is another fine revolver. I've handled one and the finish and smooth operation is just like everyone describes for the python. Great trigger.
Perhaps you could acquire one at a cheaper price and still have your Colt snake desire satisfied (haha).

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
I wish Colt's current revolver offerings were as well-finished as the Python of yore. The new Cobra seems more like a current Charter Arms revolver than the beautiful Colts of the past.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
Back in the eighties I had a 6 inch Python, then later a 4" King Cobra. Both amazing guns to shoot and too look at . The deepest blueing Ive ever seen. They almost looked wet. Both extremely accurate with the best trigger I ever felt. Kills me to think I sold them both for 600$ in 1992. Comparing a Smith to a Colt is like comparing a Smith to a Ruger. Pure craftsmanship, Just the sound of pulling the hammer back sounded of quality. If I had the money I would pay for a King Cobra again, actually liked it better then the Python even though it was cheaper then and now. Considering they will never be built again and the people who knew how to make and fit them are dead they are worth the premium.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
L.O.L. You haven’t seen the mirror polished version or the talo version. The new 357 looks even better. The action on mine is so smooth it took me aback the first time I pulled it. Yes the blasted finish on the first version it odd at first, but it’s ment to carry and keep the price down. I have high hope for a new python. Adjustable sights are on the way.

Re: Colt Python, who has one and what do you think?
I believe that if Uberti secures the rights, we will see another "faux" PYTHON.
I am happy to say that I bought and kept my 8in. Nickeled snake gun , in primo shape. (Made in 1981... pre-stike) # K 676XX
A trigger job, made the trigger pull & action , even more smooth. .. Lightened but utterly reliable, Won some competitions with it too.
If I had to do it over again, I would have bought 2 of them, at $480 apiece.
Here … Hold my drink; and watch this.
