I haven't posted in a while because my gun knowledge is just not nearly enough to really contribute about anything. I'm a 4-inch Python guy, and last year I acquired enough of them to have every available finish Colt offered on the Pythons and Python Elites. It's just so happen that each of them was manufactured in a different decade the 4-inch Pythons and Python Elites were available from Colt (except the 50's, of course, because it will have to be a six-incher). My problem is they are all either NIB or LNIB, and I haven't been able to bring myself to shoot any of them.
Earlier today, I finally found my shooter and just have just won it on GB. It's a six-incher and get this.... it's from the 50's....that has been refinished.... (I had had your attention before I said it has been refinished, didn't I? Haha)....at what I think is a fair price. This will be my range gun. I don't intend to abuse this old lady and plan to replace the original stocks with something less valuable before I take her to range. I guess what I like most about her other than the price is the fact that she has been refinished because that frees me from having to ever worry about scratching or thining the finish on the gun, something that will always be on my mind if I decide to shoot any Python with original finish.

I am very happy to finally have a Python I can bring myself to shoot and just want to share it with people who have the same good taste here
