It might not be exactly like the classic Python, but it's enough.

Get it. I really want a Python myself some day. Brownell's seems to have then in inventory now.

That being said, I'm annoyed that Colt is no longer producing the blued version, as I think I like that version the best. I recently re-watched the movie "The Last Marshal" (which now has an IMFDB page thanks to me), and Scott Glenn uses a blued 6" Python with ivory grips as his main sidearm - I think that's what I want my ideal Python to look like.

Picked it up this afternoon. I've wanted to own a Python since I was a kid in the Seventies. I picked it up at my LGS a few hours ago. It's a very nicely put together revolver I have to say. I paid $1,446 dollars for it. My local dealer sold it to me for almost wholesale. This is the most money I've ever paid for a handgun, but I finally have a Python. I'll be taking it to the range during my next weekend.
