This is my Colt Python 6" .357 Mag 6 shot. It is all original and the blueing is flawless and I have the original box with matching serial number. It has only been fired like 30 - 40 times and cleaned fully each time and every once in while just to see her and keep her nice. In the back ground is my Spikes/DPMS Ar-15. These guns are 2 of my favorites from my collection. Sorry, I'm not the best photographer.

Too short 
Seriously, that is sweet looking. Mine has a lot of rounds through it and the finish took a hit over the years and needs a timing job. Now it sits in the safe. 
http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo360/fallfaster/Rotationof100_1884.jpg Wow, good looking gun there. I want the whole set of Colt Snakes. Ha. If i ever win the lottery I will have each caliber and length. Quoted:
Beautiful Python Mine's a ugly 6" bright stainless. Thank you Sir. I looked a few 6" Stainless before this one but couldn't get over how nice this one looked (to me) Quoted:
You can't post blurry pictures and ask people to rate an item.   Hey no complaining, I said i was not a photographer. And my camera is from like 1990 maybe... |
| Pythons are like pizza and sex ––- even if its "bad" its still pretty good. I doubt anybody (well, there's always somebody) will badmouth any Python ––- even the funkiest looking examples (and yours most definitely is not, yours is cherry) command $800 price tags now |

Nightshade2x Those 8" .38 Spl target Pythons are one of the "Holy Grail " type finds for Python fans –– right along with the 3" models –– very nice. (Well, Colt made enough of them that im not sure if any of them are that hard to find –––– but it is vigorous exercise stretching your wallet open far enough to attain one sometimes) Side note: Isnt it funny how a $1500 Python is viewed as uber-expensive, while at the same time, many people dont blink at that price on a 1911 format or an AR |
| Wow. Very nice Pythons. I love them. I always saw my Python as being very expensive (i payed 1000) and never thought about how my AR is pushing 1500 already and no sight on her yet. Also i never noticed how crappy my photography is. Ha. We yall got some very beautiful pistols there. I like mine a lot, shoot it less than i want because i'm always afraid something will break. But I hope to own more of these beauties in the future. |

I would say for 1000 bucks you got a screamin deal (unless you have had it 4 or 5 years ––- 4 years ago 1k prices were common, and sometimes high, depending on the pistol –––– i am still kicking myself for the 4" stainless version that slipped by me for 850  ––- but when your broke, you're broke.
I say if you like it –– shoot the heck out of it , your likely not ever going to hurt it, unless your last name is Munden or Miculek (old school competition revolver shooters) –––– i recently put a 6" Nickel model in layaway and i was practically examining it with a magnifying glass––- my dealer said, and quite correctly, "You know, these things were not made to be collector's pieces, they were made to shoot" he is right , and the prices for examples with obvious use are not far enough behind the ones that still look new to deny me the pleasure of burning rounds through mine This is mine–– im tired of this pic and was wanting to get the nickel model before i posted another pic, but with my income, that could be another 3 weeks –– so here's another pic of my black 8"snake to add to the thread ––- we could start a Python fan club right here it looks like. Obviously, my photo skills are sub par too, so your not alone As a side note–– i developed a fixation for 357 Mags after reading dickie Marcinko's autobiography "the Rogue Warrior" a few years back. In it he described procuring SW model 66's in lieu of the currently issued sidearms for SEAL Team 6. In my mind , there was no better endorsement for the cartridge (and the SW 66) from a tactical perspective, so i roll my eyes anytime i hear a mall commando say that "6 rounds just isn't enough" . Sometimes even I need a reminder that magazine capacity aint everything ––- thats when i break out the big Python to tear the ass out of a X ring

| Wow, turning in to a Colt Python picture thread. I love it. I have had my Python for roughly 2 years, the original price on my Python was 900 but it took an extra 100 to walk out the door with her that day at a gun show. But those grips on that stainless look like coco bolo to me but i could be way off. Just a guess. I would love to buy more of these babies but i recently bought a new truck so I'm stuck with those payments for now. |

JETWC - What can you tell me about the stocks on your stainless? Thanks, Have fun and be safe. Nightshade2x I bought them online at the ColtForum.com from a guy that originally bought them from the Colt Custom Shop. They are made of Rosewood and are some of the nicest grips I've seen for the Python.... and why I bought them. |
