..... except the Python my father passed down to me. Nothing but drama queen non running firearms that are completely overpriced. High points function better then a new Colt that hasn't put thousands into it worth of gunsmithing.
HAHA! /ducks

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I would have to agree that they are a bit overpriced compared with a quality piece like say lorcin, cobra or jennings
I detect just a smidge of sarcasm.
Interested in selling that Python??

Colts grew horrendously expensive as quality when to Hell. In the 1980s I saw a Gold Cup in a dealer's display case with the front of the slide machined at an angle exposing half an inch of the barrel bushing at the top. Absolutely inexcusable to do that and then to let it get out to the dealer.
Colt's reaction to declining sales was to cut the product line. Not sure how the brainiacs figured having fewer models available would increase sales, but I guess they are the experts. Colt put all it's hopes on M16 sales to the military. Ooops. The Belgians got that contract. OK, they said, we'll eliminate all models except for the 1911a and the hideously pricey SAAs. Ooops. These are the two most cloned handguns in the world. Well, there's still the AR15. Ooops. The most cloned rifle in the world. The Python remained their only DA revolver for several years until, at $1,500 a copy, THEY COULDN'T MAKE A PROFIT ON IT.
Idiots. Morons. Dolts.
I have always been a Colt fan. But sadly, Colt has effectively been out of the gun business for a long time, now. Not sure what they actually sell. Or how they stay in even the sorry state of business they are in. Very tragic.
But that doesn't change my love for classic Colts.
Pythons? Of course.
Early Troopers as well. Pythons without the ribbed barrels.
Various Officers Models.
And just for fun a cute little Police Positive Special.

But an Anaconda is a different story.
I will take the two I have and two more please.

I usually stick to the semi's and I really like collecting the financial distaster models, like the pocket 9, all american etc.
the great thing about collecting failure is that there are so many!!
mis-management at it's finest!!
all colt would have to do to become viable again is re-introduce the mustang in 380 AND 9mm and price it competitively.
I'll get off the soapbox now.
I like pythons and SAA too.[:D]
