2024 Blue Python

[mcapo]

I wonder what it would cost these days to send a revolver to someplace like Turnbull for real deal old school blueing?

 

[Expat]

I saw on another gun board that I visit that the desire for the old bluing is stupid boomer whining... so there.

When I was in the LGS last week, someone called in to get on the list to get one.
I will wait for the prices to stabilize to get a 6 inch blued to go with the 6 inch stainless.

If your Python is blue, please see a doctor..

You'll have time to save up lol, the first year after they're available will be all the GB frenzy, after that you might find one for MSRP, maybe a year after that you'll start to see some under MSRP.

The wife will be happy to hear this, at least happy for a year. I haven't been able to resist any of these releases. I reckon I'll be in line for the 6" when the time comes.

This Boomer bought, his Python in the 80's.

This barely boomer has a 69 model.
Rather have a new stainless.
Id hunt/shoot the heck out of it.

IMHO blued 6" is the best looking though

That was a great time to buy one for sure

Whats everyone thoughts here?

My oldest son bought one. It was a very nice gun but for 1500 dollars I thought it would have had a better trigger pull.

What was wrong with the trigger pull

What was wrong with the trigger pull

For 1500 it takes too much to let off the SA pull, imo. S&W is the best in that regard.

A couple of pictures I found online of it.

It is a nice looking revolver. The bluing looks good. I like it better than the polished steel version.
Good for Colt for listening to its customers.

If the first one I see in a store looks like those, I am gonna be making an impulse purchase!

 

[MindfulMan]

It definitely looks tempting !
I'd have to see one in person to judge the 'bluing'. Looking at the photos, I can't tell if the finish has the depth of the original. It still looks nice, no doubt.

You can definitely tell there was different lighting in both those pictures, but both look nice if you zoom in. I tried to get as HD as possible.

Your photo is probably as good as it gets, DS.
There is no camera/lens that's as good as the human eye.

Just saw a "short" on Youtube, 2024 Shot Show, Colt guy at booth....

Having looked at the pics of blue, matte and reg stainless..... my choice is the reg 6" stainless.
