Pat Riot Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I have seen speculation of around $2000. But that is pure speculation. There is nothing online about prices yet, at least not by anyone that knows anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I wonder how/if they differ from the originals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Lud Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Still can’t hardly find a King Cobra target model in stock for dealer to order...so guessing these will be the same. When in stock I would guess it dealer “cost” or order price if you believe it will be around 1,275 based on what I was quoted from FFL on other models. I will be in line for one and give the FFL the go ahead if he finds one for around that and send it my way wanted one for years....couldn’t justify the cost....in 2010 when I started looking could get for around 800-1000.... now triple that or more and I think this brings the prices in vintage ones back down pretty quick. However, I think of Winchester and how nice the new Miroku ones are....frankly i would rather have that than some of the older ones and I’m hoping for the same here....

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I want a 4.25" one. Maybe then a 6" as well. The explanation for no blue one is the prohibitive cost for the polishing and bluing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the gun shops around here have a bunch of Cobras and King Cobras. I have not seen the Target Model either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The MSR is $1499. Which means eventually, they'll probably settle in at just north of a grand. Not bad when you consider the comparable S&W 686 with the much hated locks are around $750-800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of thinking the same thing, after the initial rollout and scalping stage for those who need to be first to buy. If I could scrape up the cash, I would certainly consider one. I wonder what this will do to the market for older Pythons, and those who have been paying big prices for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Pythons are going to continue to be collectors items. This new one is different enough that I don't see it affecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and my luck is I just bought an unfired 1993 Python from a pard that passed away. I paid more than $1499.00!!! It is a great shooting gun though, smooth as silk action, nice trigger and waaaay more accurate than I am!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The Python was the second prettiest revolver ever made however it really needed modernization the original was just to finicky. You either got a good one or you got junk and most of the late production guns were junk. I hope that Colt got it right now it’s a beautiful gun beats the hell out of the fantastic plastic that is so prevalent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Lud Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I do think it will significantly effect older Python pricing. If you wanted a Python you has a very short supply and high demand. Now you can get one made with technology that has advanced by 75 years and even without any hand made component should* be improved. People may be hesitant to spend twice as much on a older used one when they can have one that if they do have problems it’s covered..... Either way, I’ll be buying a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Aren’t all the new Colt’s stainless steel now? I wonder if they’ll offer a blued Python? They did do a nice job in that stainless though. Smooth, shiny and pretty. My heart is set on another Smith & Wesson...with the dreaded lock...and a Scandium frame and an 8 shot cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very pretty revolver. Although I don't own one, I've always thought the 4.5" barrel blue Colt SAA was very pretty. I've also like the 4" S&W model 29 blue. There is just something about it that cries out..... "load me up, shoot me and hang on for the ride". ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they made a modern Dirty Harry remake they would give him a double-stack Glock 10mm. "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire 2,436 shots or only 2,435?..." The new Pythons use a similar lockwork to the new King Cobra, which is much simpler than the old Python action. As a matter of fact I believe only the grips will still interchange between the old models and the new ones. It's basically an all-new product but with the same familiar contours on the outside. I agree that they probably won't affect the value of the old ones much, although with any luck they'll help reign in the insanity. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc X Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 That video kind of sparked my interest in the new Python. The one thing I really disliked about the old ones was the DA "stacking." The video specifically said that was gone on the re-issue. I may just have to risk snake bite by checking one out closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backward Billy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looks like a great new revolver option from Colt and I look forward to owning a 4" and 6" one. Wish they had a blued option, and I bet we will see those down the line. I definitely think the vintage shooter grade Pythons will come down in price. The 99% + collector grade Pythons (especially the blued ones) won't come down in price and may actually go up in value as interest in these revolvers peaks.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Here's my wish. It's that the people selling refinished Pythons as new, complete with fake factory boxes and papers end up going broke, their beer going flat, and their armpits being infested with the fleas of a thousand camels.
