"The Colt Python was first introduced in 1955 as Colt's top-of-the-line model and was originally intended to be a large-frame 38 Special target revolver. As a result, it features precision adjustable sights, a smooth trigger, solid construction, and extra metal. Pythons have a distinct appearance due to a full barrel underlug, ventilated rib and adjustable sights. Originally, Colt manufactured Pythons with hollow underlugs but left them solid to work as a stabilizing barrel weight. When the revolver is at full cock, just as the trigger is pressed, the cylinder locks up for the duration of the hammer strike. Other revolvers have a hint of looseness even at full-cock. The gap between the cylinder and forcing cone is very tight, further aiding accuracy and velocity. Starting in the 1970s each Python revolver was boresighted at the factory with a laser and was the first mass-produced revolver to do so. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Python )" I'm not a huge revolver fan, sometimes I think I want one, and sometimes I don't. I like revolvers, but due to the higher price of ammunition and low capacity, I haven't purchased one yet. But, the Colt python is the only revolver that I have always wanted to buy. The Python is going for $1000 to $4000. So if you want this gun, you have to really want it. Have any of you guys ever had any experience with these? Justin

Justin, That was a very good video. I like revolvers but I never had a Python. I do have a Ruger Security Six which I have posted on this site previously. I do think the python is a great gun but the cost would keep me from owning it. The guy in the video did very well with it.

Yeah the Python isn't cheap. When I get a revolver I'll look for a six inch barrel over a 4 inch. Also I prefer them in 357mag rather than in 44mag.
