I have a 1979 vintage Python that I bought new. It's a great gun that's still tight as ever after thousands of .38 rounds and more than a few .357 rounds.

we had on in the UK in the mid 70s before all the laws changed, loved shooting it we had a nice basket weave shoulder harness/ holster to carry it in. it realy is the Rolls Royce of sidearms !

[@EndoftheBlock7224]

I love watching the zoomed in shots. You can see the bullet fly to the target. I can see the difference between .38 and .357 when you zoom in. I can hear it too, from bang to diiiinnnggg!!!. Thanks for letting me have a range day without going everyday.

I first learned about the Colt Python when I saw David Soul carry one in Magnum Force. Later he carried the 6 Inch barrel Python playing Detective Hutch in the TV Series Starsky & Hutch. It is a sleek, beautiful revolver.

[@phil4986]

Thank you for bring out your Colt Python , Mr.Hickok and Son and showing us what a fantastic fun shooting revolver it truly is. The Colt Python, to me, is one of the most beautiful revolvers ever made. Whether it is blued steel, nickel plated steel or stainless steel. I have a special preference for the blued steel model because to me , high quality blued steel revolvers have a different sound and a different feel then a stainless steel revolver. The bullets click different when they seat in the cylinder. The cylinder clicks different when it locks in the revolver, The action feels crisper. When that 357 cartridge fires , the entire gun vibrates differently. It almost has a ring to it like a ultra high quality sword being drawn. The entire revolver just feels more alive in a blued carbon steel, high quality revolver. Be they a Colt, Smith or a Dan Wesson ( which I used to own). The supreme beauty of a Colt Python in deep shiny blue when it is all cleaned up is really something to behold. And shooting it betrays that magnificent action , both double and single action , that stock , only that Python has. The six inch heavy barrel is also a fantastic choice as the balance is perfect for all day target shooting as well as hunting. Just a magnificent revolver. Anyone who appreciates American greatness in handgun manufacturing should never pass up a chance to see and handle a Colt Python at a gun show or a gun store and maybe , you'll treat yourself to one of the finest handguns ever made.

[@stephaniekent8483]

totally agree Phil we had one in the mid 70s in UK, my brother said it was the Rolls Royce of handguns, it cost as much as a Rolls Royce almost lol

[@josephcathey1479]

Love Hickok45! Thanks for great shots and wonderful stories!

[@oldtimer4791]

I've been watching city hunter recently on crunchyroll (highly recommended by the way), I've got a few revolvers myself- but the python was always at the top of my list for my personal collection. Expensive though...

[@noodlenoggin70]

I inherited my father's 1978 nickel 4" Python when he passed. It still looks brand new, and I still have the original box and manual. I learned to shoot with that revolver when I was 8, and I still take it to the range every so often with the kids. They like shooting "grandpa's gun."

[@hickok45]

Nice "treasure" you have there. Good that you keep shooting your dad's gun. Hopefully, you'll be able to hand it on down several generations, and they will all know the story behind it. ' You might ought to write down your experiences, rather like a diary that gets passed down with the gun. Those down the chain about 8 generations will appreciate it. :-)

I had one in 81. Brand new 6" blued. I will say without reservation. Right out of the box. smoothest revolver I ever had. I've been lucky. The wife wanted the family round to be a .40. So I bought my first .40 auto loader from Walther. P99 AS right out of the box again. Greatest experience I have ever had with an auto. I have it still, unfortunately the python slipped my grasp.

Speaking of Colt Python... Was at the range a few weeks ago and saw a brand new Blued Colt Python. Definitely a beautiful gun. Anyhow, my daughter was shooting in the stall next to the guy with a Python, and I hear what I thought was a squib, and immediately pulled my daughter off the line, and told the guy with a Python I thought I heard a Squib and to check his barrel. Well, it wasn't a squib, the bullet was still attached to the brass (not in the barrel). So, I don't know what happened, but we looked at the round, and appears the primer was struck because I could see the pin indention, but the powder did not ignite. Anyhow, nothing like hearing what you think is a squib with the person holding the gun ready to fire again.... Was a false alarm, but still....

I thought a squib was what Hollywood actors shot on each other? Except Alec Baldwin of course....

[@smartass6071]

.38/.357 has been one of my favorite cartridges of all time. I have both revolvers and lever guns in that cartridge and I love shooting and reloading them. The Colt is one nice piece, however I prefer SS then blued guns. They are better in inclement weather then a blued gun. But a blued gun is still a sweet piece.

[@johnross5909]

My son transferred his first gun too his ownership today. He told me he wanted a 1911 a year ago. But when he popped open my safe he said he would rather transfer the S&W .357 mod-327 performance center. I told him what ever he wanted,butt his younger brother has already claimed the S&W mod - 27. He said as long as they stay with us. Those words made all fuzzy. Guess now I have to break in this 1911.

[@dnngskn62]

Thanks for bringing it out again today.

[@Sn33t]

Hickok, the one and only american who know what a fine revolver is... and what a liter is also! Blows my mind!

[@terryv]

I wish you’d shot more in double-action. That’s what sets it apart from other .357 revolvers, much more that its single-action shooting.

[@3ducs]

Maybe someday... my FFL friend has one, like new in box, it was beautiful, so nice that when he showed it to be I didn't touch it, just looked, it was perfect.

[@MrRarehair]

Wow, nice shooting! I have an 8” blued Python in .38 Special. It’s an odd duck-they weren’t very popular and were only made about 1 year. But it’s the most beautiful gun I’ve ever owned. The Royal Blue finish is amazing, and the classic lines of a Python are timeless. I remember American Handgunner Magazine used to have a list of the Top 100 Pistolsmiths Of The Year. According to them, Reeves Jungkind was the best Python action tuner at that time. He was the Armorer of the Texas Department of Public Safety and was an excellent shot as well. Anyway, I requested his extra light double action job since the gun was a range toy. It did not disappoint. I had a chance to compare a Python from the Colt Custom Shop to it. It was very nice, but Reeves’ effort was noticeably smoother. I’ll never sell that one. It’s as much a work of art as the gun itself.

[@yokoshemp]

Most of my life a Python was the only handgun I owned. If I could only own one it would be the Python. Bought in the '70s and I never let go of it. Put Pachmayr grips on it about '82. Still have the original wood in mint condition in the box the Pachmayr came in. Really a sweet spot gun. Lots of power in the 357 but the gun itself is not all get out huge like my 44 magnum. I mostly carried it hunting and it is a viable carry gun. 6" blue! Figure $400 in '78 so that is under $10 per year to own a genuine Colt Python.
