Awesome show on the Python!

I loved that episode. The Python was always a gun that I wanted but could never afford. Now that I probably could get the scratch together they aren't made anymore and even higher priced. The Python and M29 are two classics. Unfortunately, with Colt unwilling to even make an effort to build them again because they'd be too expensive (heck, there are $4K 1911 for goodness sake) it shows that they'll always be a shell of their former greatness.

Finally catching up and have come to the end of my recordings.  No Python episode.      Wonder when it aired?  I'll have to set my DVR to record re-runs so I can see it.

Found it, never mind.

Very cool and besides Mamet & McRaney we got to see an interview with actor, Keith Szarabajka.

I think the Python is a cool collectible.  It's on my wish list along with the Hi Standard Crusader.

One aspect of this <HINT HINT> that might be explored in an upcoming show is the S&W 686s <HINT HINT> role in the demise of the Python.

ps  If you do a show on the 686 I'd love to be on it.  After all I only own about 9 of them now.  "Alfred Sauve' - Famous collector and shooter"

 I had two chances to get a Python in the 1980's and let it pass me by. A friend had one with a bad aftermarket chrome finish and the firing pin would stick forward possibly from excess dry firing. He wanted to trade. The other time was when I had a nice Income Tax Refund and chose the Smith 686 with coil springs over the Python with leaf springs because it would get lots of range time. If they were in current production, offered in stainless again and less the $1000 a Python would be on my short list after I sold a thing or two.
