The Python !

* My all time favorite handgun, a Colt Python 4 inch blue. This is without a doubt the finest handgun I have ever had. The fit and finish is just about perfect. The throats measure .358. Not .358 plus or minus, .358 on the dot. All six of them. The bore is .357 back to front. I bought this used in 1988, and when I got it home I tore it down to give it a good cleaning. The fit and polish internally was better than any I have ever seen. One complaint, the grips. Why does the factory insist on making the grips biggest on the bottom where your hand is the shortest? A set of Hogue Mono-grips cured that problem. I shouldn’t complain, I sold those factory grips last year for $275.00 to a guy in Canada. That was just $100.00 less than I paid for the gun. I call this gun my pickup gun because it goes everywhere I go. It is 25 miles to and from work, mostly county roads and this gun has killed lots of skunks, coon, coyotes, and many, many feral cats. I only use 2 loads in this handgun, a 125gr JHP over Blue Dot and a 162gr cast RNFP over 2400. I can hit more, at longer range with this Colt than any handgun I have ever owned.
