Show your PYTHONs & Snakes Here +++

Well I finally got my letter for the 1957 Python. Couple interesting points. It is an early 1957 and there were 6 units in the shipment to Ontario. So we know they are out there!

6 guns doesn't necessarily mean they were all Pythons. That being said, I heard the ladies at the Albion Knitting company were very excited about the new Colt snake guns so it's possible they were!!

PS: Your gun was manufactured on my 1st birthday !!!

2 of my nickel 8 inch Pythons. Top one is the nickel target yes 1 of 251 made. Middle Python 1981 made. Bottom for a twist is the 8 inch Trooper (E) nickel Mark V. The black beauty pic is a rare Smython created by famous PPC gun master Bill Davis. Bill Davis PPC Sacramento CA USA, police pistol competition shooting. This Smython is a Python barrel 6 inch on a S&W MD 19 frame, a true work of beauty created by the famous PPC Bill Davis. A late 70`S gun special thanks to my good buddy Gerry in Florida to help me on this one. Take care and be safe everyone.

That 38 target model is a particularly nice find. I'm definitely partial to the 8 inch models.

Thank you gdawg. The Python nickel target box and papers was a long search that's for sure. The E nickel Trooper MK V was even harder to find especially LNIB with all the original paper work. 8 inch models are very nice that is for certain. I always have been drawn to them as well.

Yes I don't think I have ever seen an 8 inch Trooper. Very nice
 
Safe queen no more!!!

No one is promised tomorrow so today I decided to shoot 2 guns I have never fired , one of them being a 1987 bright stainless Python. Seriously........... I don't know why I waited so long. This gun is a dream to shoot. I even let a couple of friends shoot it and we all were making nice tight groups !! I am going to start enjoying my safe queens!!!

Congratulations! I know it takes something. I have been doing that more myself now...still have a couple to go :)
 
Good on you Jellybean. I've restricted myself to shooting only my Custom Shop blue Python, but it really has the nicest action of any of them. I haven't found a good enough reason to shoot any of the others. If I decide to shoot that NIB nickel, I'll let you know so you can mist up a little!

The most beautiful revolver ever made. Friends dad has one that I am watching/guarding very closely. Not much of a handgun guy but I would love to have that revolver.
