    Two of the Most Beautiful Handguns I've Ever Seen







    I'm not even sure what a "Boa" is. But dang, they are purdy. Even the grips for crime-inny sakes.

        Beautiful guns.

        Two variants of the Python were made in small numbers by Colt. The first was the Colt Boa of 1985, a limited production .357 Magnum revolver, made for the Lew Horton Distributing Company in Massachusetts. It uses a Python barrel mated to a Trooper Mk V frame. Six-hundred 6-inch revolvers and 600 four-inch revolvers were made, of which 100 were matched sets. Though it resembles a Python visually, it is substantially different internally.
        The second was the stainless steel Colt Grizzly of 1994, another limited production .357 Magnum revolver. It uses a Python barrel mated to a Colt King Cobra frame. Five-hundred of these revolvers were manufactured, with six-inch Magna-ported barrels and smooth, unfluted cylinders. The ported barrel includes a bear footprint. Similar to the Grizzly was the Colt Kodiak, which was a Colt Anaconda with a Magna-ported barrel and an unfluted cylinder. Approximately 2000 Kodiaks were manufactured

              Not a revolver fan, but I'll take those over a USP or Glock ANY day.

                        I like them fine, but I’m more of a pre-war S&W fan (and I find the ones with ‘honest use’ to be more attractive than safe queens; function over form I guess).

                        The term you want is ‘appealing’, as in: “I find a Glock with 18 rounds far more appealing than a shiny blued 6 shot revolver.”
                        To which I would concur when it comes to something to save my own behind

                            If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                              It's just not my bag baby. Not really a revolver guy. Never really saw the appeal. Bought one, used it a couple of times and sold it. Kind of old technology. I like something a little more modern.
