A New Colt Python?

[sailor723]

It will be very interesting to see if anything actually comes of this......

I shudder to think of what the price might be but at least it will probably ( I hope!) be less than the $10,000 USD for the new Webley MK VII discussed in the other thread here.

Those 1903s look neat too.

If the Python does happen, I'm thinking they would have to be between the 2-3k mark, but who knows.

 

[sailor723]

Yes, but unfortunately we'll never see the 1903. It"s "super double prohibited" with both a deadly 4" barrel and being chambered in that killer .32acp round.

If the Pythons are making a come back, by reading this article they are going to be expensive.

Well, if a Korth is $7,000 what's Colt going to want for a custom shop hand made Python?

Also, think about what some of the custom 1911s go for.....

Honestly, a python made with formed parts like the SVI/"magnum carry" would dramatically reduce costs.

And the purists may just have to complain about the improved trigger pulls...

 

[PerfCenter]

We'll see. I'll only own a Korth in my dreams. I can't justify that amount of money for a gun.
So if the iconic Python returns with a crazy price tag - Then I'll make more room in my dreams for it

I'd get a new Python, assuming the finish is as good as the old ones.

Isn't any Python expensive ? Can't expect the new ones to be cheap lol

People have been screaming for pythons for YEARS..... I gues with Colt being almost bankrupt they are forced to actually listen to the market

Custom fitted revolvers are expensive

 

[Twisted Canuck]

I hope they make them. Pretty sure it won't hurt the price of my 'old' Pythons. Kind of like the S&W Classic revolvers compared to the 'old' guns.

I'd say you're right. Much like with the "Classic" line of S&W. Most collectors still want the real pre-80's pinned and recessed guns. I think the same would hold true for Colt.
