I just looked on Gunbroker and the Python the OP is talking about seems pretty reasonable in "Colt world."  Boy those things got expensive.

Supposedly Colt is going to start making Pythons again. Wonder if that will drop the prices on the old ones.

[graycrait]

If I had the $$ I would rather have this pistol pack:  http://cz-usa.com/product/dan-wesson-715-revolver-cal-357-magnum-stainless/

They can keep it. I would rather have an S & W anyway.

Judging by your avatar, I'm shocked you would say something like that!  :cheers:

SAME HERE! Although Smith prices are starting to get out of reach too.

 

I'll stick with my 686-1.

I doubt that will ever happen. I'd be surprised if there are enough people with the skills and experience to make them any longer.

Read an article recently on how Colt was tooling up for it. Sounded pretty real. Hope so.

I have nothing against Colt (except for the cylinder turning backwards, which is just weird). I am just not sure why everyone is suddenly so crazy about them. If they were so good, why didn't people buy them when they were on the market. I know the price was high, but not as high as they are now, and people are actually still paying it. The truth is they were not as good or popular as a Smith & Wesson. That why S & W is still on the shelves and Colts revolvers have not been manufactured in years. The only reason people want them now is because they are considered collectors items since they are expensive and hard to find.

Meh. I'd rather have an un fired Model 10, or 19, or 27/28 . Any dash. Smith rules the wheelgun world.

Yes...A Model 19! I have a couple and think them the best of the S&W magnums. jmo

The gun in question is unfired. Can't be many of those around.

Beautiful pistol, I couldn't own a gun that I couldn't shoot, but I appreciate the uniqueness of this Python.

[tercel89]

I agree. I'm not going to own a gun that I won't shoot. I don't believe in safe queens.

[musicman]

I have no problem getting something really nice... "collector grade", if you will... and using/shooting the crap out of it. I don't mean abuse or neglect, but use as intended. Stuff was engineered and made to be used.

Outpost Armory last week has some in the gun case and most were around $3k.

I think a person should have a simple, but robust armory of shooters and then move into collector pieces. I could see a place for a gun like that Python in my safe after I get my shooters finished.

5 years ago I had a chance to trade an Ed Brown 1911 for a NIB Python with I believe a 2 inch Barrel. This gun was from Dallas Texas and was still in the plastic bag with oil, it was Blued

I declined and 2 years later the man emailed me asking if I wanted to buy it outright for $3400.00, I declined and a few weeks later he sent me a screenshot of the pistol selling on Gun Broker for just under 4K


This is one of those things in life where I wish I could go back and trade the 1911 for it


I adore Colt revolvers they were very special in my opinion, if they ever decide to make new ones they will not be the same

I was at the Nashville Goodman's Fairgrounds Gun show a few months ago and a Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum Stainless was the most expensive price I could find at the whole show (I was bored and waiting on someone, so I just walked around trying to find the highest price weapon at the show).  It was priced at $3500.

The other day TN Gun Country had a Colt Detective Special for $575.

[Tziolkowski]

I saw they had a colt cobra at gun country for $575 but no detective special.

[A.J. Holst]

I bought a 6" king cobra in 1989 for $369 plus tax.

Sold it in 2003 for $600.

No regrets, it was cool, great SA if I remember correctly, the roll mark awesome, it sat in the safe and I've never been a gun collector...I shoot what I own and I don't overly worry about cosmetic wear and tear.

[dcloudy777]

The collector gun market has gone pretty nuts, but no part of it more so than the Colt DA revolver crowd. 

 

Absolutely insane prices.

[P-E-Z]

I always wanted a Python.... unless prices drop i will not be getting one.

[Trekbike]

I think that's as likely to happen as Hillary getting indited.

[graycrait]

Hey! If you have a Python now hold on to it.  Imagine the prices if Hillary gets elected.
