I'm having a good pistol packing Christmas!

[tim71]

Greetings! This year I got to pick out my present from my wife, and from my parents.

#1 from wife. 6 inch colt python from late 70s. pristine action and good shape and a good price at $585.00.

#2 from parents. small frame H&R .22 lr pistol in new condition.

#3 from wife. Gamo .177 revolver got on 1/2 sale at Galyans in St Louis.

#4 crossman BB co2 also from above 1/2 sale.

RG .22 short picked up at a gun show just to have for my collection.. although it does shoot.

I think I'm hopelessly afflicted! Can't wait to shoot the python today when we open presents.

.45 Colt

My Dad blessed me with the .45 Colt Single Action Army that he bought brand new in 1956. 7.5 Inch barrel. I also am looking forward to shooting it.

Just shot it.

Just got to shoot it and man is it accurate! I can already hit better with it than guns I've had for years. I've got an old water heater than I've been testing rounds on for penetration and 158gr jsp bullets in the .357 penetrate much better than even my 9mm with nato rounds.

We had to open presents early due to work schedules.

A Python for $585? In most parts of the country, that would also be known as "theft." Amazing!

Good to know I got a good deal. The dealer also has a 4 inch in stock also for $585.00 but the action was mushier feeling. I really fell in love with this 6 inch the second I handled it.

He's got several other cheaper guns I've got my eye on.

Well Wolf...I must need to be arrested!

4 years ago, I bought a 6" Ultimate Stainless Python for $375.00.

I got it at Diamondback Poluice Supply in Tucson.

I thought it was a mis-mark.

I love it.
