Colt Python 4.25″
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Back in 1988, Colt Python was my gateway drug to handgun collecting. She had a barrel that was 4″ long, Pachmayr grips, and a polished blue that looked like it was made out of black chrome.
That Python was my sidearm for many years. I moved on to other revolvers and of course semi-autos but that Python was special and almost always made a trip with me to the range. Unfortunately, it was stolen from my truck about 12 years ago. She gave me 20 years of great shooting and started to go out of time and she was going to be shipped off to a smith for some repair work. I left it in the truck because I had gotten to UPS too late and was going to try again in the morning. It was a hell of a night to get burgled.
