But will it really be a Python or just a replica lookalike? That's the big question. I don't want to seem cynical but I strongly suspect the latter.

Wouldn’t it be more apropos to say before Trudeau bans everything?
Can’t wait to see what this baby will cost. So that I can start saving up my pennies.

Interesting that Colt went with the old school ramped front sight vs. the more modern FO tubes, like their KC.

US$1499 listed
Unlikely Colt would put out a look-a-like only, especially for the price, but we'll soon find out.

So $1499 USD equals what in Canada? mid 2's?

Probably more like $3000 CDN if NS is the distributor.

A concern is the manufacturing knowledge has disappeared. The old guys and gals who knew how to make the renowned slick Python action and buff that particular shade of "Python Blue" are all dead or retired. Perhaps if Colt announces who's in charge of production of the new Python line...

No blued finish on the catalog at the moment JP. The picture is misleading, the shades of lights make it looks like blue but it’s actually stainless.

It will probably be NS. And about $2500 MSRP would be my guess up here.

Man NS makes me sick, I wish more dealers would start buying direct from manufactures. The end result pricing here in Canada makes a huge difference. NS seems to gouge the dealers that buy from them thus jacking up the prices. Makes me sick.
It's time to eliminate the middle man from the equation.

The Python is definitely a beautiful revolver!.....

I hope it is better and I expect it to be. The old ones are not as good as people think. Sold mine but will likely buy this one.
I might be tempted by a 4.25" version as well. Unlike the KC, at least Colt has kept true to the external design of the Python. No doubt these won't have the same level of human attention as the originals, but if they use simplified lock work and it is strengthen as they say, it might not be too bad.
