    1962 4" Colt Python... The GOAT?

    Ive posted some sweet revolvers of late. Figured since I was sharing away, why not what many consider to the GOAT... at least the GOAT of American made revolvers.

    I acquired this one many years ago... I swapped out the original front sight (I still have the all black one), and had a friend recut and fix the grips (they were faded out and I thought the revolver deserved a better set).

    I have not shot this gun much... like 15-20 total rounds. Smooth as glass in SA and the typical "C-O-L-T" DA action. The timing on the gun is still as good as the day she left Colt, which is nice as it seems like these guns all suffered timing issues over the years.

    Not much else to say other than I was in a sharing mood so I snapped some pics for your enjoyment! Some of the best blueing I have seen... Ever!

    The Pythons are beautiful guns, but I still think the original "Registered Magnums" were better. And that's not getting into the Euro wheelguns.

      I have to loo at the RM guns you mention. Euro wheelies... check my MR posts out, you will certainly enjoy them! I know I need to land a Korth sooner or later, but prices have just gotten insane on the "real Korth's"

        And this is why no one wants a new Python - they look goofy and cheap compared to these original beauties...

          I agree, the new Pythons cant compare to the older ones...

                All I heard when the new ones were coming out was "sell your old Pythons". IMO the new ones don't come close in comparison.

                    Should I post my shipping information here, or PM you?

                        In terms of finish, perhaps.

                          Wow! That is legit bluing!! Gorgeous!

                          Yeah, the new Pythons should be called something else....Like Python II.

                          The Mustang II wasn't so bad....right?

                            It's the GOAT for sure. The SS version have nothing on the blued guns..

                            Man oooh man that's a purdy gun
                            It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.
