Colt Pythons ???

Why are they so hard to find? Especially the 4" models.. Back in the late '80's they were everywhere now they are few and far between.

Greeting's presspics,

It probably has something to do with the fact that Colt
isn't producing Pythons for sell to the general public
anymore? Seems as though they got scared of all the
law suit hype, that swallowed up Smith N' Wesson.
Also, pre 70's Pythons are highly sought after by
collectors. I have seen 70's models in 98%+ condition
going for as much as $1,000.00 a copy; but occassionally
you might find a little ole' widow lady that is willing to
depart with her deceased husbands Python for around
$750.00, but these cirsumstances are extremely rare.

Best Wishes,

Where are you looking? Just local dealer? Gun shows? Internet? I just checked in at AuctionArms.com and there were at least a half dozen 4" Pythons listed for sale, different finishes and various amounts of use. There are probably more 4" Pythons for sale than any other length.

Depending on your requirements, I'm sure you'll be able to find one with a little looking. They sure are nice to shoot.

Colt is only offering the 6" Python through the Custom Shop in limited numbers. You should be able to find what you are looking for on one of the sale or auction sites.

I picked up a 4" E series a few weeks ago.

Local gunshow for $600. I was watching "Electra Glide In Blue" with Robert Blake over the weekend and was thinking of having the barrel and cylinder nickled like Blake`s character`s duty Python.
