Beautiful revolver and a cool story to go with it! Great find.

 

[Rod B]

That is a fine revolver. A little holster wear & the odd scratch just add a little character to the gun. I hope you shoot it often & enjoy it.

You need to grow a 70's ####o stache to go with that beauty!

 

[mlaspa]

i want it

 

[FastFord58]

One of my dream guns. Someday.

 

[MartyK2500]

Very beautiful, myself was looking to buy a s&w 586 classic, blued, wooden grip with a 6" barrel. So needless to say, i am drooling when looking at these pics.

How we're you hooked up with pd sale? Online Listing? Local newspapper ad?

just knew people locally

I'm not sure, I might sell it. But I'd like to keep it, it's a fine revolver, and there aren't many of these around these days.

It shoots great, just a little holster wear

 

[Pancake81]

Awesome story man. Pm me if you ever decide to part with her. And remember who asked first

 

[ScarceChalice9]

That is a thing of beauty. Great story.
Whatever Pancake81 offers if you wanna sell it, I'll add a dollar

That it is, commonly refered to as the 'Cadillac of handguns' and justifiably so. One of my favorites. The one I have now is my second but a very early production model. 1957 I believe.

And they do shoot well. One of my targets from days past when I was hot and heavy into a bullseye shooting mode. 20yds off hand slowfire.

Am I correct in assuming the previous owner modified the hammer?

 

[bobbyjack]

I must have missed the (what happened to the hammer) but still nice pistol.

[polizeifritz]

If you don't mind me asking, what did you snag it for?

 

[pirate604]

That is a very nice piece.
I would love to hear how the spur broke off.

 

[Fusilier]

Looks just like mine except for the hammer damage.

I have, somewhere in this quagmire of a den, the gunsmithing reference manual for the Python if you ever want to borrow it to try your hand and replacing the hammer. I also have saved a couple of very well done youtube videos (not my videos) on detailed strip and assemble if you really want to do it yourself. The furthest I've ever gone is taking the grips and side plate off and removing the cylinder. I need to check mine for timing.

Shoot me a PM if you want to borrow the book.

I will add $2.00..........

The dilemma I'd face is what to do about the hammer spur. Replace the hammer, bob the broken hammer spur, or leave it as is. Despite the improvement from repairing or replacing the hammer, the story is compelling enough to leave the gun original. This is a real feel good story for gun guys though, the majority of PDs across the country would have sent the gun to the smelter. Kudos to the Sgt for keeping this one alive.

I picked up this Python last week.

This old Python isn't as bad as it looks. It wasn't shot much. I bought it from a local Police Service.

that didn't happen to be in the Lunenburg county area is it?

 

[johndfb55]

Nope
