I'm really digging this revolver... just not the price

[motoman]

I feel that way about your Python, yet somehow it makes it to the range every damn time. I saw one like yours for sale a while back and the price tag on it made my jaw hit the floor.

It's crazy what you see people selling them for at the gun shows.

Neat!

and

The purpose is completely lost on me.

I keep it in a velvet bag and try to be really careful with it. I shoot it, set it right back into the bag. It probably gets 100 rds a year, maybe. I keep telling myself I'll do some serious loading with it to get some good accurate loads, but I never seem to get around to it.

But yes, that is the perfect example of a gun too nice to really use. I feel guilty shooting it, and I certainly won't use it for it's intended purpose - hunting.

Python=smoothest revolver action out there, although I have heard of them losing their timing after prolonged use of heavy magnum loads.

I've "heard" that too, but I've never seen it happen and as such, I dismiss it.

I've considered that till I realized I have yet to see a Python that shows much wear at all much less prolonged heavy magnum use.
