2 1/2 inch Colt Python price check

[HK-40]

Late 70's / Early 80's Colt Python 21/2 inch ( Blue) .Shooter grade. In about 90% condition, no box etc. Looks like it was carried , but fired very little.

Snub nosed Colt Pythons are quite sought after so a couple of photos would help. Does it have the original walnut checkered grips with gold colored Rampant Colt emblems? How is the lock up?

I would have to agree.

Guess of $2000 plus

I went onto Gunbroker and did a search of recently closed auctions for used, blued 2.5 inch Colt Pythons. I found three auctions in which the seller's asking price was not met, at values of $2375, $2600 and $2900. I couldn't find an auction in which the deal closed and the gun was sold.

So based on this very limited sample, I would think the gun you describe would probably sell in the $2000 to $2300 range.

I have followed Python prices for quite a while, since buying a used 6 inch blue Python (95% condition) about 1999 for $630. I shot the gun a couple of times with .38 ammo but it has been a safe queen for a long time. I believe the 2.5 inch barrel length is scarce compared to 4 or 6 inch barrels, and generally goes for a little more in price. I think my gun might be worth about $2000 today. Python prices make no sense to me, but that is what they cost.

Take a look at my post.

Not my greed. Lol. Looking to buy one from a private party. This 2 1/2 inch Python has rubber grips , no box , Action and timing are perfect. The seller says that the gun was carried but fired very little ( with 38 +p) . The price is 1400.00 +ppt.

Been watching ACTUAL selling prices on GB,recently saw a nice 6"B
with a box sell for $1750. Prices are going to be higher here but the actual
sale prices seem lower then just a few months ago. Pete
