Great looking pistol, congratulations!! My brother is the original owner of mine, bought around 1972. I've shot this with a good mix of 38spl and 357s. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

I saw on another board Colt is releasing a new Python in 2020. I didn't get a chance to read the whole article so I don't know the release date, finishes or barrel lengths. They will never be able to replace the original Python's but they may be an affordable alternative.This message has been edited. Last edited by: calugo, | |||

Well, they oughta name it something else, because whatever it is, it won't be a Colt Python. Heck, call it the Python MKII. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

THIS^^^^^!!! The trend of reintroducing vintage lines by the same name, i.e. S&W Classic line of revolvers, just adds confusion to the marketplace -not to mention internet searches. The Colt “Python” will not be made again, because the level of skilled craftsmanship that once existed is no longer a viable part of the manufacturing equation. Of course, there are a myriad of reasons... not just one or two. But, the only way to own a Python is to buy an original. -Bill Former US Army, Sgt., 82nd Abn. Div.

You know after looking at the photo a few times it could be just artifacts from the photo angle that makes it look like some wear on the barrel and maybe they put some plastic laminate strips on the cylinder for those that like to dry fire test it? Regards, Will G. | |||

I thinks that goes into the cylinders to protect them from hammer smashing down? Looks like it could be... The P210 Americans came out alright. Maybe we should be optimistic. I would like a 4 inch blue as well..... NRA Training Counselor NRA Benefactor Member | |||

Yes, thats the red plastic ring that is placed into the back of the cylinder, but what I was talking about is the wear from the cylinder bolt locking up the cylinder after each rotation. What is pictured must be some kind of factory plastic laminate strip to prevent slight cylinder rotational rings from the cylinder bolt when the revolver is new. In older used Pythons where the timing may be slightly off, you'll see these rotational marks on the cylinder between the cylinder lock notches. When it's properly tuned the cylinder notch lock will drop into the locking notch at the leading edge of the ramp. Slightly out of tune the locking bolt may drop slightly sooner in front of the ramp leaving those cylinder wear rings..I hope that my description is ok. Regards, Will G. | |||

Looks OK but no where near as good looking as the original Python or maybe it's just a poor quality photo. Still if the price is right, $1000+/- I'd be a buyer. Looking forward to when the new Pythons hit gun shops so I can see one in person. | |||

Any guesses as to an introductory price? I'd take a wild guess at $1500-$2000. Regards, Will G. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I heard in the mid 2K range. If the thing went by original specs, hand fitted and finished, made in the USA, similar to upper crust boutique 1911 companies, I can see the justification for the price. Otherwise, nope.
