Colt to reintroduce the Python

[Palerider]

Wonder what it's going to do to the prices/values of the early versions???

Guess my "investment" could be in jeopardy

Don’t have a crystal ball but early versions of S&W revolver models made today still hold their value. I think same will be for origanl Pythons.

[Palerider]

The old pythons were already highly valued by firearm collectors/ shooters of all ages. Not every handgun is purchased for concealed carry. Not every rifle is bought to bury in the yard and wait for the igloo. Compared to the prices of the old Pythons, these are very reasonable. Also, if you believe the marketing, the design has been improved with modern tech. These will have no trouble selling and will be difficult to find anywhere for a while.

Agree. I just wish they were introducing a royal blue version but I understand going with stainless.

I would also love a blued one, but I blame the EPA for that, and I can live with stainless.

I bet a large number of guys who have the originals and still shoot them will now be retiring them and picking up a new production for the range.

I would also expect some people to dump their originals on gunbroker for top dollar and to replace it with a new production and pocket the difference.

Not gonna happen here!

This is the exact conversation I had last night and what I intend to do.

What variation Python(s) are you planning to sell?

I read this to say the old Python is retiring to the safe and he’d buy a new Python to shoot. Nothing being sold.

I'm not selling, the line I was agreeing with was about retiring the originals.

Ooops! My BAD! Wishful thinking on my part, I guess ....
