I just saw a new 6" Colt Python on display at one of the local gun dealerships. It had the word "Elite" engraved on its barrel. Is this a new issue or what?
I had to leave the store in a hurry, as I began to drool uncontrollably and felt my hands go about my body, frisking me for a wallet... unmistakable signs of an impending gun purchase. But I'm still reeling from that rotten experience I had with Taurus; and this, I guess, is the reason I hesitated to jump in.
As well I might, since I don't know that much about the Python, except that when it was first issued 30-some years ago it instantly became a classic.
Then again, it isn't hard to see why.
So I am asking you for a word of wisdom. Should I fork out $1100 for this big fat snake, or is it a gimmick best avoided? In other words: Can there ever be another Python, or am I merely deluding myself with my impression of its remote and glorious past?
