Stainless Python

[sansuiguy]

I can't remember the last time a stainless Python for sale in the EE forum - people are selling only the blued ones - why?? what is the current value for a matt stainless?

 

[foxbat]

Why don't you insert a " Wanted...Stainless matt Python..Price no object" thread in EE, and we'll all find out!

Blued is beautiful. Stainless is soul-less.

Stainless is timeless - doesn't wear off.

Pythons are perfect, in any finish--that's the main reason you don't see 'em come up very often...

Hey, I like stainless!

Me too but there's nothing better looking than the Bluing on a Python! Check out the one on Strangeday's post.

Although the 686 is mighty pretty with those grips.

I like stainless in semi-autos but blued in revolvers. A blued revolver looks classy and easier to clean.

It's only easier to clean because it hides the dirt!
ALL revolvers are a PIA to clean IMHO.....

Oh... my... Now that is what I call amazing!

I was told Colt's Royal Blue was probably the best blue you could ever go with in production quality. Agreed, blued does look good, but I also have a spot in my heart for Stainless as well. Beautiful gun. Certainly lives up to the title of "Cadillac of Revolvers."

I wonder how much a 6" Colt Python, custom, would fetch out of the custom shop? If anyone knows, PM me, I'm looking to buy one. Hell, I might as well save up and buy two!

I have one, a 6", apparently made in the first year of production. It has the old style fully checkered grips and the old sights. I didn't know the Python was made in stainless. The Anaconda yes but the Python???

 

[dan belisle]

Yup, in both matte and bright stainless. In bright it looks like nickle plating. - dan

I have a 4 inch Stainless Python bought at a estate sale.

It's a tough call, I think I prefer the blue thoughh, mainly because it's easier to keep clean. The Ulitmate SS is beautiful unless you touch the gun!

[Strangeday]

I left my Diamond back as a 4inch.......I'm big in the 12(6)'s

 

[mopar guy]

Yeah not me, I missed out on 12(6), it was almost a shame to change it but better than nothing... 22's are few and far between

I love stainless. It just feels..err...clean

 

[chevneck]

Sorry to ask one of those questions I probably should already know the answer to. But how can one tell the difference from Royal Blued and the regular?

where's the King Cobra Mopar?
