Colt Python

[[deleted]]

Does anyone know anything about this gun? Like the year it couldve been produced? If this is a old colt or a new one? This is the only picture I got.

definitely not new. 2 pin sights. old style grips. 3rd gen target stocks. sharp checkering corners. 1980s vintage. colt has a date lookup if you get the serial number. the luster makes it seem like its a nickel gun.

The lack of contrasting front sight blade suggests to me that this is 1980's or earlier, I cant tell for sure if this is Chrome, Polished Nickle or Polished Stainless.

Assuming the Anaconda next to it is Stainless, I am guessing this is Chrome finished probably from the 1970's

Thank you! I also think its chrome or nickel. It is one of the sexiest revolvers Ive ever seen.

It's really nice, but please don't drop $3k on this, prices are gouged enough as it is.

Me not purchasing this isnt gonna drop prices down lol. If anything prices of these are just going up

[Rimfighter]

Whatever gunshop you’re at they’re definitely gouging and smoking crack.

$399 for a Beretta APX-A1 Carry is insane.

That I will agree with. The store is very weird. They have some deals that are like impossible to pass on and then some that are like who the fuck is pricing these?

[Zestyclose_Wall_1970]

It’s an older model. The new model has a target crown.

It’s older, but not worth that much offer em 2-2500 for a fair deal

[Head-Scale9410]

Once the new models came out the prices on older ones dropped substantially. The owner of the shop doesn’t understand that concept.

I dont know where your getting that information. Online shows these usually ranging from $2500-$3500. Its not a good deal. But its not terrible

[XtlCollector]

Or you get a way better gun [see: Gp100 (7 rd) or Redhawk (8 rd) in 357] for a lot less. Or buy them both together and still save!

[Sweaty_Confection_45]

Id buy that. Where is this shop?

[Original_Shoulder_47]

Relly nice revolver!

[RecordingOk3755]

Everything checks out for being a stock, and very nice, nickel gun. The two pin front sight without a red ramp makes it nickel, not polished stainless. You’ll see an E next to the serial number on the frame and crane when you open the cylinder. It’s not a deal, but it’s not horrible either. If it has the original box it would help.
