Colt Python 3" release for 2022

[The Gleam]

i'll buy it because i like it whether it's Colt or not if it's priced right - im not gonna buy high just to go back down memory lane

and from what i can see it looks like a damn fine revolver and i love the 3" concept - we'll see

I'm of the same mind about it - I'm surely not going to pay over MSRP for it, and certainly refuse to pay the ridiculous overpricing we saw last year of $2,500 and up for an on-Roster gun - supply chain issues or not - where Colt's original MSRP was $1,249, ramped it up to $1,399, with current market price settling at $1,499 to $1,589 here in CA tail end of the shamdemic shutdowns, though relatives on the east coast and midwest have seen them recently at retailers there for $1,329.

It's a $1,249 gun - max. Might break for it up to $1,499 in CA due to the Biden supply chain pricing, inflation, etc., but little other reason.

Anything above that, I would rather put that money toward the cost of an earlier Python, or simply buy a new Smith & Wesson.

You know how all those Turkish firearms companies make exact copies or clones of CZ pistols...

I'm going to wait for them to eventually make their "Zython"

It'll only cost
tree-fiddy
and will come blued, desert tan, army-man green or tiger stripe gold.

Eh. I think the 4.25" looks better. However, those 3" guns do appear to have a higher polish than the 4.25" and 6". But that may just be the photo.

To me, it's just a copy of the original. I'm not a huge revolver fan but if you're going to buy a Python, I think the original would be a better investment.

Price?

Could be because they are custom-shop guns? Just guessing. That had always been an option, even for the last custom-shop only 'Elite' Pythons in the early to mid 2000s which as I recall were all high-polished stainless.

I doubt it would be carried over to any future production guns.

The pics of the 3 inch is from Colt Custom Shop, ordered with bright polish among other things. No idea on how much he paid on that order, he also in the past ordered a custom shop factory engraved 2020 Python. Its obvious he got either big bank and/or well connected with Colt. As far as 3 inch releasing in 2022 its his word (told by custom shop), accurate or not, i'm on the positive camp.

Good news.. was thinking about picking up a 3" king cobra but I'm going to wait for the python

[7.62user]

I bought a new king cobra and put close to 500 rounds thrue it now. Also have a new 6" Python unfired. For some reason I can't bring myself to shoot it. Such a nice revolver. I might get another Python and shoot that one. I'll be on a look out for a new 3".

[ysr_racer]

I shot a mid 80s Python last year. Meh, color me unimpressed. No big deal.
