Colt Python Grips

[dfletcher]

In case anyone is looking for REPRO Colt Python grips - these are current manufacture for the "about 1960 to about 1973" 2nd model types:

I'm not the seller. I bought a set for my OM Trooper, even though the OM Trooper and OMM revolvers would have a silver medallion, not gold.

Really great work.

Wow, they go for that much $$ ??? I have a bag full of originals and now am thinking I may need to post a few sets up for sale [emoji3]

And these are knock offs, not originals. Original "2nd generation" Python grips go for a strong $350.00 and up easily. The 1st gen types, with full checkering, probably hit $500.00.

I guess I should finally sell off the pristine set of second gen Python I've been sitting on.

Original Python stuff is almost always expensive. You can make a decent amount if you have a few extra parts laying around the house.

I bought full checkered ones from Thailand for $45 shipped.
Perfect fit,nice hardwood grain. They are better fit than my original Colt grips! Ordered up a second pair.
Good for the range sessions.

Even better than the real thing, which isn't hard to do when it comes to Colt grips. This is the guy who actually makes them:

He is a nice gentleman, we spoke a few times and shared some "information"

He offers various types and models.

I preferred the non gloss finish on the full checkered I bought. The medallion colors vary. I bought one pair with dull colt medallions and one with bright silver. If you don't see a sample you like, just wait until he restocks. (or contact him for special request) Pictures reveal observable aesthetic differences. So wait until you see a good set. Search in completed items to see pictures of other samples already sold. These Python grips do fit E frame revolvers also. Factory I frame Python grips don't bc of grip screw location.
I also bought CZ 85 grips.

He's on the Colt Forum and yes, nice guy to deal with. He'll even do silver medallions for the OMM and OM Trooper. That they are better than factory is I suppose a good tell from the originals. If Colt were still cranking out Pythons (with laminated laser checkering no doubt) these would be a pretty good upgrade.
