Find an original set of grips for it and you've got a keeper. 1000 is a good price in CA.Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Usually blued Pythons came with checkerred wood grips with gold Colt logos, although that changed in the mid-90's. Rubber grips were usually seen on Stainless Pythons but some people liked the feel and retro-fitted their blued Pythons with them. The fact that you have both grips is a strong indicator that your wood grips (if checkerred, no finger grooves, and with gold Colt logos) are the original ones.
Edit: heres a good information site on Pythons with pictures of grips also. http://www.coltfever.com/The_Colt_Python.htmlLast edited by redcliff; 12-09-2012, 5:30 PM."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

If you're looking for grips to shoot with, some Hogue fancy grips are great looking and functional, and they change the grip angle to a better feel in my opinion. The plastic grips aren't that great feeling personally, and the factory checkered feel awful again, but they are collectible.Comment
