A well connected member from pony's mother board ordered thru Colt's custom shop 3" Python, he received recently and was told by Custom Shop, Colt will release 3" for general public in 2022. I'm kinda excited!! Just want to share the good news.

It is a what that will be greatly observed by collectors in the future, no different than pre-64 Winchesters, pre-lock S&Ws, or pre-Remington/Ruger Marlins, as the first what, and the second what is that the timing issue of older Pythons is hugely overstated.
I've owned dozens of Pythons from the 1950s to the late 1980's over the past 30-plus years and not a single one had ever gone out of time, a quarter of those having had thousands of rounds down their tubes.
That's what.

How many older model Pythons have you owned?Comment

^^^^I don’t know how many older ones the other individual has/had, but the TWO older ones I owned (still have one) both had problems with shaving bullets, although they do have a LOT of rounds through them. I wasn’t the guy who shot all those rounds, they were that way when my late father acquired them in the 1980’s. Original owner competed in lots of PPC matches from his days in LE. Both were pretty much unmolested (grips were custom) from the factory.
I see them as tools, and am a bit surprised by the crazy “bubble” of value that nice examples fetch. But, if that what the market demands, so be it.
Personally, I think my pristine RM is a nicer artifact.Comment

Everyone makes far too much of a company buying another one. Happens all the time, in all industries. Colt has always been my favorite but to be honest, they have been s**t for the last 30 years at least.
As much as I would've hoped they'd been their own company and not a subsidiary or foreign owned at least a company like CZ bought them.

That bubble you noted, and the "Gotta have what Rick has" clamor is the reason I sold many of mine off, including a 3" Combat Python that was like new in it's box, and a Python Hunter model. Got over $13K on each one of those, apiece.
Now I'm down to only 7 Pythons and they are mostly blued plain-Jane 4", 6" and 8" models that I actually shoot, one a 6" stainless.
Only two of my remaining herd are safe-queens: an early 6" blued, and an early 6" nickel, with their boxes, each looks like they were made only yesterday.
