It's a six-shooter.

Colt. Black. With bullits.

The prancing pony makes it a Colt.

It's a modern double action, judging by the vent rib barrel probably one of their snake models (Diamondback or Python). Guessing by the trigger guard it's a Python.

Maybe one of the Colt experts can put a finer point on your question.

That is the infamous Colt Python .357 Magnum ( in Royal Blue ) with what appears to be a 4" barrel. It introduced the vent rib and full underlug barrel now so common.
Introduced in 1955, it is considered the Cadillac of revolvers. Now out of production, prices have doubled over the last couple years. Going by the factory hard rubber grips, it's probably a mid to late 80's model.

So what you're saying is, I probably won't be owning one?

Just looked at prices. Yikes.

No, I am saying there isn't a Python in my future. ( unless someone takes pity on my poor, disabled, divorced, stay at home, single parent existence and gives me one. Anybody?):-P

Yes, that was my first thought seeing that poster. What a beautiful revolver. I'd definitely like to own one.

I bought a 4in blue Python new in 1974 or 5 then it was $375.00. Kept it for 30 yrs. it was by far the nicest firearm I will ever own. If you ever get a chance to shoot one the next day you will start saving up for your own.
