GB is publicizing the giveaway of a matte finished Python lately. I haven't even looked into the giveaway, but not just because I know the odds of winning are so slim.
In my mind, a Colt revolver with anything but a beautiful, deep blue finish cannot be a Python---except maybe a stainless model, which I can somewhat grudgingly acknowledge to be a Stainlesspython. A matte finish just seems terribly WRONG to me. I think Colt should have done whatever would have been necessary to keep a crew who could produce the classic deep blue finish on the job.
A matte finished Python appeals to me like a BLT with no bacon on it.
