Blued,stainless,or nickel plate.What turns yer crank?

No justification(well ss doesn't rust/bluing wears/nickel is for pimp guns)please.

I'm curious in what grabs your attention.

What would you like more of?

[andy]

Dont care, one way or the other. Stainless just has to be blackened, and some stainless is a bit soft. Just ca paste wax everything and rust is never a problem. The wax helps with blue wear in the holster, too.

I ask because I just bought my first Python.An eight inch nickel job.It came w/a Burris 3x scope.I was disappointed the first time at the range.Between the fact that I'm not used to using a scope & the fact that this thing balanced like a brick in the wind I was happy to stay on paper at 15 yards.

Then I took the scope off.

Holy great Jesus jumping Christ on a beanstalk!Wow!

I've never shot anything like it.Smiths,Rugers,D.Wessons,they pale compared to how that Colt balances-how it points so naturally in hand.To say that I was/am impressed would be a graphic understatement.

& then I heard today that Colt really is going to stop wheel gun (Python/Anaconda) production in 2005.

I'm pretty much a blued steel S&W DA revolver gal though I have a stainless Mod 24. Guess I'll have to vote blue steel.

Your Python is one of the prettiest and finest DA revolvers made. Congrats on such a great find. :beer:

Rika?Blued steel & walnut are my favs too.I can't wait to get my hands on another 8 3/8 M57.

This Python is fast growing on me though.

Blued steel is my fav.
I prefer rosewood to walnut on handguns.
Is that Python a new manufacture or one of the old ones? I hear the old ones make the newer ones look like garbage.

Magnum, thats a gorgeous perfect Python. It looks like a 4 incher. Is it yours?

One question. Photo #4 shows what appears to be a medallion of some kind behind the recoil plate. Is that a reflection or something because photo #3 doesn't show it.

Darn it! I'm drooling on my keyboard. :D And I'm happy that you have such a beautiful revolver.

Wax your gun. NOw I have heard it all.

Stainless for me baby.

[Magnum88C]

Alas, RIKA, no. However it really has me lusting after an old, blued Python. Problem these days is, the bluing isn't any different, it's the fact that the pre-blue polish job that that Python got would probably cost $800+ dollars alone. So, we don't see any but high-dollar custom jobs with that level of finish.


The "medallion" looks like the reflection of a silver dollar.

[Garand]

I love stainless!!

[41mag]

Well,here it is.(I hope)

I give up.I hate computers.Grrrrr.

I only own two "shiny" guns. One nickel and one brushed stainless steel. I like the blue/black look. Grips are made to be comfortable and aid in accuracy, not for "pretty". Here's my nickel (pimp) gun.

[brass hammer]

my heart has always been with the blued finish, although i own a 'few' ss

the blued colt's revolver is my[1] favorite[i've never dug deep enough in the ass-pocket, for the price of a python, yet!]

the colt/s.w. debate[ imo] is just talk, [i think a smith will hold up better in a brutal 'torture testing'[imo] i think, it's what you cut your teeth on that forms a persons opinon, and i chewed on colt's, those idiots from kentucky[some of them really were 'idiots'] always sang the praises of the smith-wesson. :wavey:
