Found one of my unicorns

[bubbadavis]

Finally found a Python in what I consider good shape and I could afford. I've been on the Python search for quite some time now. Most of them I'd want to take home must have gold screws! Sorry for the lousy pics.

That sir...is a beauty.

Very nice. They are very hard to find for a decent price.

MAG(nificent)!!! A true bit of joy ! Hope it doesn't spend too much time in the vault. What vintage is it ?

I didn't say it was a decent price... OK, I thought it was a good price for this quality weapon. They had a nicer one with the matching box; I don't think it had ever been shot. I wanted a nice one but something I was willing to shoot!

1970 according to Colt.

Somehow, I knew KahrMan would show up in any thread with a vintage Colt sidearm!

I was looking for a 4" but couldn't pass up a nice 6".

Thanks! I think KahrMan is selling the 38 super. I expect it's a superb gun knowing KahrMan and his tastes.

Nice find, enjoy that COLT.

Beautiful gun !  

Curious as why prices have skyrocketed over past few years (other than they aren’t making them anymore).  I had one that I traded about 10 yrs ago for a Springfield XD and a Beretta 950 that I had about $800 in.  Lost my job 2 years ago and sold it for $2450.00 on gunbroker.  Didn’t want to sell, but thankful I could.   Paid 3 months of house payment.
