One of the few things I got when my dad passed 20+ years ago was his 6" Colt Python he bought new in the early 80's. I'll never sell it, so many memories learning to shoot with it.

This is the next revolver I’m trying to get. Absolutely love revolvers, they’re so versatile. More fun than a normal semi auto pistol IMO, there’s something about moving the action that’s super satisfying, like that feeling you get banging through gears in a manual 😁

Bought my blued 4" barrel Python at the PX the day I got out of the Marine Corps; July 17, 1971. Paid full price, $179.00. Still have it, still a fantastic weapon.

Colt Python comes with generous quantity of pride of ownership. Beautiful fit and finish. Wins Best at the Barbeque awards.

Love my 6” python. Mine is from a newer batch and man it really is a shooter. I love it!!
@davidmissar5485
Purchased my first Colt Python 4"in the early 70s. Beat the crap out of that pistol, but was able to hit a two foot by two feet target at 100 yards 4 out of six shots. In my opinion the 2020 model is built much better, with better metal alloys, less trigger parts and a beefed up cylinder housing. I like to shoot so a new model will be my fun gun...LOL

Retired my Colt Whitetailer 357 8"barrel with full length scope!! Have taken many whitetails over the 10 years I have used it for deer hunting!!
@randomDaved
The first pistol I ever shot was my dad's Nickel plated Colt Python 357. It's an original. I put 2 shots into the same hole and fell in love immediately with it. Of all the pistols we have in our family now, it's still my favourite.
@wc4201
my dad taught me how to shoot on a 6 inch Nickle Python... the gun is now in my personal collection and is one of favorite guns of all time.
@conradkostelecky7935
The triggers on these are unbelievable. They are a great pistol.
@oldeagle2514
I have an old one, there's no way I would sell it for $2,000 dollars, there's just no way!
@Amac1825
Nice to see people actually using their guns. So many people collect them and never touch let alone use them as the tools they are.
@diamondrmp
One of my few regrets in life was selling my OG Nickel Plated 6 inch Colt Python. Those are worth so much money now and it was the BEST gun out of the box I've ever fired! I used a speed loader and it made a huge difference in loading ONCE you got good at using it.
@mikecon7634
Still have my blue 4" made in the 70's.
@docgillygun9531
I'm going to be honest. Everytime I watch one of your videos my gun want list gets longer but my bank account gets smaller. No worries, I'll keep watching because you do great work and good luck with the Gundies. I voted for you.
@oldmangreywolf6892
I am a Rugerman, but I do have respect for my fellow revolvers. Colt is one of the top knotch makers.
@boogiedaddy3434
Wow, I have one of these that was gifted to my father when he retired as a constable back in the early 70s. I had no idea they were so highly regarded and worth so much. It's still in it's box and was only fired a handful of times. So happy to learn that I've got myself a nice collectable.

I'm an old fart, so the reintroduction of the Python makes me smile. I remember my first Python, which was a six inch blued model, for which I paid $175 used. It was a great gun, as have been all the other ones that followed over the years. The last one I bought was a 4 inch stainless steel version, which I carried as a duty gun for a while. There was also a very cool "little brother" to the Python, called the Diamondback, which was made in .38 Special and .22 LR. It was on the Colt D frame, same as the Detective Special, but with a four inch barrel. It had a vent rib just like the Python. Nowadays if you can find a Diamondback, especially in .22, you will pay used car money to buy it. Back in the day, the Python was the "Supermodel" of revolvers. It was built almost completely by hand and polished by craftsmen who all had to have at least ten years on the job before they were allowed to touch a Python. But, just like dating a supermodel, you had to pay for the privilege. It was always sold for about 50 percent more than the closest equivalent Smith and Wesson. The hand-fitted action locked up tighter than a bank vault, but if you used it hard in double action, as the PPC guys did, it would go out of time. You pretty much had to figure on having it re-timed after every season or two. A lot of us had to put match barrels on our Smiths to win, but not so with the Python. I think this was probably due to the tiny amount of muzzle constriction built into the Python. As S&W began to establish dominance in the revolver market, there were fewer and fewer gunsmiths who knew how to work on Pythons. The Python has always had "stacking" at the end of the DA trigger, but there were one or two wizards who knew how to remove this. If you competed with the Python, you sent your gun to them. PPC shooters, who had to achieve pinpoint accuracy at 50 yards double action, either shot Colt or shot S&W, but not both, due to the differences in cylinder rotation, cylinder release latch opening, and the feel of the DA trigger. I like the new Python a lot, and think it is worth the extra money if you want a "supermodel" revolver. If you want a regular "girlfriend", buy a 686 and save yourself $600, or even more on a used Smith or Ruger. Bill Wilson, who owns one of the largest collection of original Pythons in the world says that he thinks that in many ways the new Python is better than the original as a shooter, except for the rear sight. He complains that Colt has gone with a cheaper rear sight that doesn't hold zero, rather than the original Accro rear. He is naturally selling a replacement unit through Wilson Combat. I want one of these Pythons, but haven't decided whether I want the 6 inch, the 4 inch, or the newly introduced 3 inch model.
