Colt 2019 Python Overview

They will sell. Alot of people are buying them because they are the nicest looking revolvers besides the 1873.

The collectors will still buy the older ones that are handfitted and come in there orginal box.

Alot of people sell a beat up python for 2800 so to get a brand new one that you know hasn't been tinkered with and not a lemon is amazing.
 
It all depends on what’s the street price down there. The MSRP of the SAA is $1899 but the street price for a new production revolver is in the $2300-$2500 range so well over MSRP.

Within a couple months with reviews, sales and availability in the US we’ll get a pretty good idea on Canadian pricing.
 
So it's re-designed and uses different materials (both for better or worse), I was under the belief that the old Pythons were so coveted and so expensive because they were excellent guns and the reason that they were excellent guns was because of the manufacturing techniques and craftsmen who made them. That said, I was also under the belief that a big part of the massive prices demanded was due to the fact that the manufacturing techniques were no longer in use and the craftsmen who made them were all retired if not actually dead and therefore...gone.

I would be interested to know how the manufacturing techniques have changed (again, for better or worse) and I would also be interested in knowing whether Colt intendeds to bring back their trademarked "Colt Royal Blue" and the original bluing process that made it happen.

To me it sounds a lot like Ford's Mustang, sure they've brought out various incantations of the Mustang over the years but there's nothing like the first generation ('65 to '73) Ford Mustang...

The guy said but 13 less moving parts alone in the trigger, definitely less to go wrong and more consistent one would think. The reality is it's a revolver which which will appeal to mostly older crowd just like muscle cars. Ask my nephew if he would like an old mustang? Where is bluetooth, infotainment system, heated seats, Apple play.......................
 
Well I'm ordering a 6" SS and I can hear my friend screaming ….he has a 1977 6" Nickle plated Python and her was asking $3000.00 no boxes and no papers. I guess the older models without boxes and papers for collectors will be taking a hell of a hit.
 
The new ones will not be built to the same standard as the old ones, all of the old master pistol smiths are long retired and I doubt the new guys will be as good. That said I will be ordering a new 6" one myself.
