*Sale Cancelled* Colt Python 4" .357 Magnum

[baboonie]

SALE CANCELLED.

Okay BSers. You probably all remember this being listed by another member recently. Colt Python 4" .357 Magnum. I can tell you that it is in immaculate condition. 1973 production date.

Try as I might, I just prefer how my Smith's feel (...here comes the bashers...lol). I've tried different grips, but I just can't get comfortable with it. It has a butter smooth action. If I could just graft the action on this Python into my 686 I could die happy.

Since I bought this to be a shooter, I can't justify keeping it if I reach for my 686 first. The finish is beautiful. I personally have put 98 rounds through it. I don't even know if it was shot before then, didn't look like it. The photos below are before I put the 98 rounds through it. Comes with a set of Pachmayr open back strap grippers.

I paid $1200 for it and it's worth all that and more. $1200 is what I will take for it...so don't bother making offers for less.

I WILL consider trades. I'm still looking for a lever action .357 carbine (at most 20", but prefer a 16" or 18" barrel).

Now...let the trade offers...begin!

That didnt last long, bumping a thread that doesnt need to be bumbed yet cause da bab is a good guy. Theres a gunsmith up here in slidell at F.I.T.S. tahts been looking for a python for a while, cheapest one offered to him was 1800 so he may want this. I wish i knew his name, but im pretty sure hes their only gun smith. May be worth talking to him. If you call, ask for the gun smith.

[lamuskrat]

Wow what a beauty....the best of the best.....in a class of its own. I'm salivating n would love to have that piece.

 

[jmanrogers]

I'm not saying anything!!!

 

[baboonie]

Those look like Herret's on it now. You talking about putting Goodyears (Pachmayr rubber stocks) on it for the sale?

I'm no Python fan, but that's heresy...

.

Comes with the goodyears AND the cheesegraters (Herrett's).

Damn you take good pictures.

It's all about the marketing! Of course, it helps having a good looking subject!

 

[jdindadell]

I am guessing I should buy this, huh... Would be my first colt, anything. Does someone want to convince me?

 

[CUJOHUNTER]

This kind of stuff makes me go all wheel gun again.

 

[CUJOHUNTER]

James......buy it! If you don't,i may have to sell my Saturn! Lol

 

[chad]

What kind of gun is that?

 

[baboonie]

James......buy it! If you don't,i may have to sell my Saturn! Lol

 

[baboonie]

I've done a little massaging tonight on the Pachmayrs that I put on it...feeling better. I'm thinking maybe I just haven't found the right grips yet and that maybe I should explore more options in that regard before I "jump the gun" and sell it off.

Sorry to do this to you guys, but I'm putting a hold on the sale to see if I can massage the goodyears to to get a better fit to my hand. Will update the thread as necessary...

 

[louis488]

good maybe my tax refund will get here if you decide to sell.

Grip problem solved. That's to everyone that helped! Check out the S&W 13-2 I have listed. I also have a 6" 686-3 that is SPF. The prospective buyer has until Monday to come up with the cash. If not, I'll post it.
