Yes. 4.25" .357 Magnum. I'm not much into revolvers, but I do enjoy them. I carry a J Frame on occasion. This is essentially a BBQ gun/safe queen but it is fun to shoot!Is it a 357?
Awesome revolver!
I'm not crazy about the factory grips. They are in fact walnut, but the grain pattern and finish aren't my favorite. My grips are ok. The checkering is nice, but again, not my favorite. Easily replaced though! I got mine for $1400 + tax. Off of a local Nashville shop's gunbroker. I think eventually a nice set of stag grips are in order.Saw one at the local yesterday, gun itself looked brand new but the grips look like they had some age to them…. 1550
I bet it's a beauty! Those finishes from that time were a work of art!Got a late 60's early 70's.
Was my uncles.
I like it.

That's odd about the triggers. Every one I've felt so far have been great.Bought one a couple of months ago as well as a new 6 inch Anaconda. Both seem to be built well but the actions and triggers need some work. I have an "appointment" scheduled for February to mail them to a excellent gunsmith know for his work on Colt revolvers.
It has to do with the required "drop test". Both my Python and Anaconda break at roughly 5.5 pounds single action. Others may find that acceptable but not me. I prefer a SA break at 3.5 pounds.That's odd about the triggers. Every one I've felt so far have been great.
I was at a pawnshop in Georgia this summer and they had a new anaconda with an absolutely amazing trigger.
If they made them in 45 Long Colt like the originals, I'd buy one immediately.
We'll that's understandable. The one I handled in Georgia was probably closer to 2.5It has to do with the required "drop test". Both my Python and Anaconda break at roughly 5.5 pounds single action. Others may find that acceptable but not me. I prefer a SA break at 3.5 pounds.
I freely admit to being somewhat of a trigger snob.
Maybe they still sell those fishing rod pumps in the back of sleazy skin mags.I want a three inch Python so bad....
There's one at Volunteer Armory in Lenoir City.I want a three inch Python so bad....
Actually, I think the new one is a better gun. The old hand fitted ones could and would develope timing issues with a lot of shooting. Not many people around anymore know how to properly repair them and parts are getting scarce.Don't compare to the hand fitted Colt Python of the past …….premium price for a knock off.
