Which finish do you like best on a Colt Python?

[kcub]

1. royal blue
2. bright nickel
3. electroless nickel /aka/ Royal Coltguard
4. matte stainless
5. polished stainless

Not that I'll ever be able to afford one, but since you asked: Polished stainless. Bright nickel looks great too, but I understand that it's a bit more prone to chipping.

My favorite is Royal Blue but I also like the polished stainless and the nickel. I am fortunate enough to own a sample of each of the three:

Royal blue without a doubt. Its what makes a Python so... awesome. That finish is like a mirror.

Mine are all blue, but I have some used 2nd generation target stocks with nickel hardware that need a gun.

We have a nickle because my wife loves that finish. If it were up to me I would probably go for the Royal Blue. But thats just me.

Bright Nickel followed very closely by Royal Blue

 

[Microgunner]

My order of preference would be: 1,2,5,4,3

[vladan]

Royal blue. No other gun like it ...

 

[dnsharpshooter]

definately royal blue, looks soooo goood

 

[4V50 Gary]

Royal Blue.

Nobody has picked e nickel. It is truly gorgeous but photos don't do it justice.
Also they are uncommon as they were only made 1 or 2 years and then discontinued when stainless came out.

 

[FJ4ZROX]

+1 for Royal Blue

 

[Grant D]

Another for Royal Blue (then nickel)

KyJim: That's a beautiful threesome you have there!!!

 

[jasmith85]

Royal blue looks great but I think polished stainless looks a little better.

Royal Blue. Finest finish ever on a gun. It just sort of glows.

 

[gunluver]

[bedbugbilly]
