    He may get it. The one I sold several years ago was a used Python Elite that went for over $3500.

    If I bought that, first thing I would do is take it out and shoot it just to see the collectors cry [:D]

    Psshhhhh..... I paid $1100 for a plain Jane 6" blue one the other day. It was from the 60's and had the correct grips on it.

    The seller needed money and I bought it. Before I could get it listed they wanted to buy it back (that same day.) So I let them have it.

    These things have gotten so pricey I will never get to keep one myself.

    I once thought I would like to stick one in the safe, but I'm not kidding myself any more about that silly idea.

    I have one just like the one in the auction. Mine doesn't have the laminated grips, they are original Colt. Bought it in 1973, paid $303 for it, brand new. In all honesty, it doesn't have more than 1000 rounds through it. Bought a set of Pachmeyers for it when I bought it, the factory grips are like new. I don't have the box, but it looks as good as the one listed.
    In 1973 I was real busy getting divorced, hauling freight up the Alaska Hi Way, and attending to the needs of most of the comely women along the way. The Python sat in a gun cabinet at home for probably 10 years. When I finally got around to playing with it, I realized what I really had, and what shooting it a lot would do to it. I bought a model 27 Smith, have shot the hell out of it, and it's still as tight as the day I bought it. Pythons are like K frames, great carry guns, but won't take a lot of hi end 357 loads, without problems.
    The long and short of it is, it turned out to be one of the better investments I've ever made
    My wife says, the widow Truitt is going to have a hell of a gun sale when I'm gone.[;)]

    Saw a beautiful Python a while back. NIB, 4" barrel, nickel-plated, with fire-blued screws. Didn't even have a turn ring on the cylinder. I can only assume it was a custom shop piece. Looked too nice to shoot.


    What would something like that go for now?

    I own and love a 4" Python, but they are priced just plain stupid in my opinion. If mine weren't a heirloom it'd be sold quick!

    A Glock is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more beautiful.
    I don't see the attraction of a gun which was never used for it's intended purpose.

    No, I do a lot with this person....eventually I will most likely end up with it. I had a set of Ruger #1's that I bought and sold back to him at least a dozen times. He eventually didn't buy them back from me and I sold them. This Python will probably be mine at least 5 more times before I get to sell it.
