My gun guy has a blue colt python with a 4" barrel..he says it was made in 1976..i was thinking of buying it but have never had a python that was made during this time period..were the guns that colt was making at this time well made? thanks for any help..

The respected members here that we all know and love say that good 'uns exist throughout the era of the Python and there's no particular year or years that should be considered as "bad."

My own unfooled with 1978 blued Python is as good as any I've handled and 1976 isn't so many years before that.

My "76" cocks as smooth as butter and is a tack driver. Love that weapon.
