Too bad it's not a S&/W.... then you'd really have something....:) Something of less quality and value? concur...

Owning a firearm you never intend to shoot just seems weird to me. But that's one hell of a find for sure...those don't grow on trees. I'm a big fan of the Mk III's. Never said I didn't intend to shoot it. but, if one know what he's doing, finding unfired guns as an investment works for me, Recently I turned a good profit on an unfired Pythion. You sold that Python?

Yes. Didn't "sing" to me. Currently eyeballing a 4" that I can shoot I totally get that!!! About 15 years ago I had a blued 6" Python that was in perfect condition. It was smooth, wicked accurate and good looking... Did nothing for me; just couldn't get into it. Cut to a couple of years ago... A friend puts a 4" Nickel Python in my hand, and the tuning fork just rung in my loins!!! I can't shoot this one enough. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/113232.jpg)

Some nice Colt’s pictured here. Thanks guys.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Yes, congrats to all of you. local_dirt, is this your first 44 Magnum and the reason you recently asked for 44 Magnum ammo in gun shop where they asked you for your family tree?

If I hit the Powerball tonight, I'd get a 6" version. Possibly an 8". I've owned both 4" and 8" versions before and possibly there was a 6 incher in there I've forgotten about. But for just shooting purposes, give me the longer barreled versions.

Damn, that's nice Jorge, my old first gen 4" blue Trooper didn't come with the box, but did come with a set of custom moose antler grips and no turn line, ENJOY!
Trump Won!

A friend puts a 4" Nickel Python in my hand, and the tuning fork just rung in my loins!!! I can't shoot this one enough. There's something about a four inch Colt E & I frame (essentially the same frame with small differences) revolver that appeals to me, as well. I have two: a four inch Official Police and a four inch Model 357. For some reason, on the range, they both seem like natural extensions of my hand, and I can just very easy put holes where I want them during double action fire. I've owned three Pythons at various times in the past, but never a four incher, which is what I've always wanted. I had the snubby, the six inch, and the eight inch. Of those, I liked the snubby best, but eventually gave into the crazy rising prices on them, and sold it at a huge profit. Still have the Model 357 and an Official Police.

There's an "as-new" 4" nickeled Trooper MkIII down the road from me right now, it looks just plain spotless. He wants too much for it, IMHO, but he'll probably get it, he just sold a 6" Highway Patrolman (in likewise cherry condition) for $950. He wouldn't budge on the price of the M28, because I tried..............
I did find an Official Police in .22LR this morning at another shop, but the price was right at $1000, and the condition did NOT warrant the high price, either. It was a 6", and looked okay for it's age, but it was pretty well worn. I didn't want it that badly.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
