Sept 2015 is good with me ( birthday present to self here we come)
I believe Marstar gets their Pietta guns shipped straight from Italy to Canada.
They seem to have a good supply of Pietta cowboy guns, so hopefully they can get these Pythons through the same channels.
The Euro is actually down to our Loonie right now, compared to last year. So prices might be reasonable.
I hope you're right. I had forgotten about Marstar and their Petta dealer status. Tradeex has a crapload of Piettas right now and they are usually pretty good with their pricing. This time it seems they are a bit higher than Marstar but Tradeex has one important factor on their side......they have them IN STOCK! No point having a better price than the other guy if you don't have the product! So you may be right. Marstar might be able to order them direct. Let's call John (and wake the bear!)
Quick search turned up Colt Python in stock (if you have your Prohibited License)
Read earlier in the thread (post 5)....John already said that they are on order.
Im sure these will be "OK" but i have to admit... i recently picked a colt python and all i can say is wow! Its the smoothest action by far i have ever had the pleasure of using. Much nicer than i expected. I hope that these will come close.

"I only hope the Pietta arrival won't have much effect on the Python's value"
Will likely push it higher, from that picture above the Pietta doesn't look quite right, can't find the right words to express, it looks "similar" but it's certainly lacking "something".
Most complain about Norincos, but they have come along way.
Who's to say Pietta won't do the same.
