  • Good deal on a collector's python

    I ran across this recently. This is a fair price for a NIB unfired 70's era Python. You don't see these too often.

      I would buy this if I wasn't budgeting for another big purchase at the moment. The pictures have pretty heavy aliasing, but it looks to me like a knurled cylinder release, which means it must be late 70's. I would recommend whoever buys it to run a colt serial check first just to be sure. However, on this year python, the box should have a handwritten label with the serial#.

              I want it but at this point of my gun collection I can't justify that much on something I wont shoot.

                Would it really be a shame if someone shot it? I mean took really good care of it and shot it occasionally?

                  There's unfired and low fired. The difference in price is about $1k. That's a pricey choice. Most pythons are low round count, those are easy to find. That mentality you're suggesting though is what drives unfired guns prices so high. Nothing wrong with that, I have a couple shooters, but its always nice to have a collector gun. 3k is the average price for a low round early python, so this being unfired is quite a deal.

                    This. I went to Jackson Armory a little while back, and the clean shooter Pythons started at $2k, while the two unfired Pythons they had were $4k and $6k.

                      Man I wish I didn't just buy everything I did. This is the exact gun that my dad always told my mom he wanted, she never got it for him of course. I'd love to have it for a collection piece.

                        I just couldn't buy something and not shoot, I do see it from a collector standpoint. Its kind of like buying a running car and not driving it. I know people do that, but shit, If I am investing into something I want to fucking use it. I don't buy stocks because I can't do shit but by and sell them, or even really see it. At least with a gun you see, so I do see the point.

                          Id shoot it of revolvers were my thing. Or Id shoot it just to piss someone off or make everyone else's that much more rare.

                            I would keep it unfired and let it appreciate in value.

                              No gun is "unfired".

                              How do they know it works??
