Just picked up a 99% colt python

[therealnickb]

From the early 70s

Very nice. Wanna trade it for an M1A Scout?

Sweet, almost like mine, mine is stainless.

[DesertSniper]

Nice score! Crappy pictures!

Thanks! Troll much?

I saw that. Was hoping you needed a backup for it. My collection is missing a nice .357

Anyway, enjoy!

I'll keep it in mind if I ever need another! Take a look at a good S&W 686 almost as nice as the python. At half the cost!

Lucky dog...

Are you going to shoot it?

[DesertSniper]

Are you going to shoot it?

Yeah but lightly and I'm going to baby it. What's the point of owning a gun you don't shoot?

I bought one of my Pythons new in the early 70's and I shoot it all the time. It still looks as new as the day I bought it. The early 70's ones don't wear out. Baby it yes, but don't worry about shooting it. Congrats on the great deal. If I remember correctly, in the early 70's they sold for around $300 - $350. I bought a S&W 29-2 around the same time and the Python was not much less. Never had an issue with the Python. The 29-2 is a different story.
