    Trade Python?

    Would you trade a 1991 SS Colt Python in excellent condition with 50 rounds through it for an Ed Brown Cobra Carry?

    Trade Python?

    In a heart beat if I was the one trading for the python. If I had the python I'd tell them to take a long walk off a short bridge.

      Personally, I would hang on to the python, but depends on your needs.

        I've had it for about 25 years sitting in the safe. I don't use it. I don't shoot it and I want a .45 for CCW. I'm conflicted to say the least.

              No, I'd never trade a python. Just save up some money and buy a 45.

                The Kobra Carry is an amazing 1911. That being said, I wouldnt make that trade, not even foe 2 Kobra Carry 1911s. The Ed Brown will hold its value and possibly even appreciate a bit. the SS Python will only continue to increase in value in that condition. You'll regret making the trade if you do it.

                  nah not me

                  and I'd start shooting it if you think it's just sitting there. You're just hold low mileage value for the next guy. Enjoy what you have

                      Python Pros and Cons:

                      Pros: They don't make them anymore and no one makes revolvers like that anymore, quality revolver, collector value will increase, accurate, aesthetically beautiful craftsmanship, it's a Colt, it's an effective tool, it's a revolver.

                      Cons: Value limits the likely hood you will shoot or carry it much, it's a revolver, it's harder to conceal carry, less and less quality gunsmiths can work on it, not very customizable.

                      Kobra carry Pros and Cons

                      Pros: Holds two more rounds than a revolver, different caliber, easily concealable, quality craftsmanship, aesthetically beautiful, custom design and fitting, accurate, valuable, it's still being produced, more customizable than a revolver.

                      Cons: It's not a Python...

                      My opinion is that you save up and keep one snake in the safe and another on your hip.

                          Ok, Jaime, not going to do the deal. You are the expert and I advise anyone in the Inland Empire to use your services. Thanks again for your advise. Thanks everyone for your input. Back in the safe it goes. Be safe!

                              I am not a revolver guy, but I would keep that thing until I die.
