Pics of stainless Python family gift to my dad

[1KPerDay]

Family gift to my father-in-law who has lusted after a bright Colt Python for many years. 1987 serial, found out after purchase that it left the factory as a non-bright model. Whoever did the polishing did a good job IMO but I ain't no expert.

Paid waaaay too much for it and only noticed the pitting around the chamber mouths after accepting delivery but whaddayagonnado? FIL is ecstatic and that was the whole point.

Got to shoot it today and it was a pleasure. My first experience even touching a Colt Python.

Pics below.

Very nice, and I'm much more of a Smith & Wesson guy.

You should really give tutorials on how to photograph and post said pics of guns. Very thorough. I like it.

Wow outstanding gift!

Very nice smooth/tight fit on the 1987, glad you found a sweet shooter.
I haven't seen one that shiny in a long time, a real beauty.

I enjoyed the video, cool range, looks like a fun time had by all.

Very nice polishing job! I also like those wood grips with the Colt medallions; nice touch.

Wow. Nice looking pistol.

 

[chicharrones]

That's a mighty fine lookin' revolver! Your father in law must be a worthy man!

Wow, that's beautiful. I didn't know that Colt made a stainless Python. I thought they only did blue, and nickel. Learn something new every day!

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Colt made them in matte and factory polished bright or "ultimate". The upcharge 20 years ago for bright instead of matte was only 30 or 40 bucks. Today factory brights bring more like 30 to 40 percent more than matte.

He must be a special guy. I hope he shoots it often!

Excellent photography.

Thanks, that's just my little Canon Powershot pocket camera with the macro setting, at sunset outdoors. The lighting outdoors is the only way I can ever get good pics.

Wow, that is an amazing gift.
What did he say when he opened it?

Beautiful gun! There's nothing like the lines and curves on a Python.
