That's a pretty gun.

Colt does high gloss stainless better than anyone. I have a Python with that finish and it is top notch.

Interesting he didn't like shooting .357 out of it. I wonder if that writer just doesn't like .357 or if there is something, maybe the weight?, about that gun that makes it harder to shoot than a Python or a Model 27 or something.

When you held it did you think it would be tough to shoot magnums out of?

On a side note that Federal Punch out of of 4 inch revolver always tests out very well. That's good stuff.

I thought so….. I thought it felt plenty for .357. Felt better than a 4" Model 19. I know…. I speak blasphemy!

The hell you say.

Just kidding.

I love my pythons but kind of go back and forth on the Colt v S&W debates.

My favorite maker is definitely S&W but my favorite revolver is a Python.

Oh no doubt on that! Pythons, imho, are the finest revolvers ever made. Wish I would have been able to have looked into a crystal ball in the 70's and 80's.
Don't you?

I dream of that every day, though a little later for me

I ran pawn shops in Houston from 2000-2006 and wish I knew then what I know now. I ran the Tomball store in 2002-03 and should have bought 50 guns. All of that cool stuff is now bought up and in collections never to see the light of day. But it was nothing for a day to include several guns that are worth 5-10 times more today, especially the older deer rifles.

Roger that. My issue was back then I had just got married and we had $125.00 in the bank on our wedding day.
Wife's dad was a gunsmith and weapons curator for a museum. The stuff I coulda/shouda bought but was worried about just paying our electric bill.
Wonder where some of that stuff is.

Those looking for a Colt Python and have the extra pennies and nickels.

Memories…

Many years ago I pawned my Remington 700 BDL in 30-06 to help fund our wedding. I intended to buy it back but we found out we were pregnant right after we got back from our honeymoon so there went the rifle.

My beautiful bride was so grateful because she knew how much it meant to me and what a big deal it was to part with it.

So fast forward to today, whenever I feel the need to scratch a gun itch, she never complains.

You have the makings of a hit Country song there...

You missed a great chance to name the kid Remington.

Guns and Rolex. Wish I had safes full from back then.

Yep. And gold. But I was so broke I was doing good just not having to pawn stuff myself. By 2003 I had dug out of it and put a little money aside. Married in 04 and off we went. But man I should have a few of those guns.
