The Colt Python, a classic .357 Magnum revolver, in manufacture until the late 90s. Co-star of the AMC TV series "The Walking Dead" as the main character's -- Deputy Rick Grimes -- side arm, the price of a Python in mint condition has been at an all-time high, with some auctions reaching over $2000. A fine weapon, I can't imagine it not selling out almost instantaneously if Colt ever decided to make it again. I hope they do.
The Colt Python is a true classic from clean, polished design to its silky smooth trigger pull. Simply an amazing firearm.
ReplyDeleteAlas, Colt has chosen to pursue the dark side of firearm manufacturing and only produces military weapons now...A true loss to the firearm enthusiast.
Don't they still make cowboy actions? In any case, yes, I wish they still made their double-action revolvers. I still hold hope they'll bring some of them back in a special edition basis.
