I’ve always been saddened by any picture or mention of the Colt Python. I owned a beautiful one, which I worked and saved for back in the early 70’s, but I got desperately broke once in the late 70’s and pawned it for $150. It hurts me to this day.
The Civil rights lawyer probalby got more people killed than any other charter. By both action and inaction. For the best of reasons to be sure but... still there it is.
Still plenty available on the second-hand market, many of them in mint condition with box and papers as they came from the factory.
Of course, nowadays you’ll pay a good deal more than $150.00 bucks for ‘em.
