My Python is supposed to be shipped today from the distributor to the LGS. Once there I have to wait in the mandatory seven day jail before I can take possession. Once I do I can provide the serial number for the database. Actually...once I see it when it is delivered to the gun store I can get the serial number when doing the state required paperwork to begin its incarceration.

 

 

For Sale.

 

Mine is PY0013XX

 

Here is PY002844.

I picked up my 2020 6 inch serial number PY00130x yesterday and paid MSRP $1,499.99.

 

Are you interested in selling your PY00130x to someone with the original 1956 Python 130x?
They would make a great pair.

 

To answer your initial question: “NO”

PY2097XX…sent by Colt as a replacement for a horribly defective Python that was 010XXX. Received late June 2021.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but do these later purchase additions mean Colt has already made 20,000 Pythons?

 

Uplander, They have made well over 200,000. I bought mine a few months ago, It is PY201,XXX. Even with all the hickups and Covid I think colt has done a banner job on production of the new Pythons.

 

Holy smokes! Over 200,000!!!!

 

That may not be an accurate figure...Colt may produce guns in blocks of serial numbers and not all could be used. Colt made somewhat over 600k Pythons from 1955-early 2000s so over 200k in a little over a year and a half seems a bit much.

If I remember from reading BATFE stats Colt generally produces something like 65k-85k handguns annually so 200k of one model seems a bit unbelievable at current staffing levels. I would love to believe Colt has produced over 200k new Pythons but it seems a bit inflated. If the number is accurate Pythons should be a lot more available than they are...or brokers/distributors/dealers are sitting on a whole lot of them.

 

My first one, a 6", was purchased toward the end of February, 2020. S/N is PY0027XX

Second one, a 4" was purchased the first of April, 2020 S/N PY0055XX

Third one, also a 4", was purchased a couple of months ago, call it May, 2021 S/N PY2053XX

 

Mine is PY0200XX

 

Are those original grips fitted to the new gun or are they interchangeable between the models?

 

Mine is PY0276XX got it in Early Feb 21. The tag on trigger gave me a date of 04012021, have heard that the tag date doesn't mean mfg date but possibly date it was approved for shipment, or cleared QA.

 

Mine is PY213999 just purchased 07/09/2021

 

Just purchased my new 4" Python S/N PY210678 yesterday, 7/14/2021. New to this Forum, and looking forward to future Colt discussions. After I sight this jewel in.

 

Snidley, You might be right. I haven't seen anyone state they have any Pythons in the PY100,000 to PY199,999 range yet.
