Trigger Mike Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 saw one in town today. It was 1600. I held it and the butt seemed squared and rubbed right on the pinched nerve in the web of my thumb. I let it go back to the shelf. It was pretty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Look at it this way. You just saved 1600 smackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Bob Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Give it a year the newness will wear off , hopefully the price will come down . It’s hard to pony that much up when you can get a S&W performance center gun for a few hundred less . But if you gotta have a Python ya gotta have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 They are pretty. No denying. A 6” Python in the case at Miami Valley Shooting Grounds was the first gun lust I ever felt. And you never forget your first. ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 My 1993 Python, I think I need a new one to compare!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I have yet to see a new Python. Perhaps that’s a good thing. I got my sights set on 2 Ruger Redhawks. Hmmm...for the $1600 they want for a Python I can possibly get both Rugers...now I just need $1600 for the Python to buy the Rugers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I've handled three that were pre sold when they came in to the LGS. Mine is pre paid for, and I'm waiting for delivery. I chose a 4.25" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like my '93 Python it'll be very manageable. I shoot .357's and actually enjoy them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Interesting gun. I had to sell my 4" Python when I got married 30+ years ago to pay off some bills. Could this new one join the herd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
