Figured some of the python fans might take interest in this. Gun stories on the outdoor channel today will be about the Python.

Sweet, is this a TV show? The video on the page is only 3 min?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I have no idea I dvr it every week. It actually comes on Wednesday not Thursday apparently my days are all mixed up. One of them this season was the A5 and it was awesome. I never knew winchester tried to make one similar but to get around the patent you charged the action by pushing the barrel like the a5 does in recoil."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"

speaking of pythons, I was playing around on Gunbroker and WOW. pythons have gone up.
I saw one in Vernon, TX gunshop last week with a bit of wear on the bluing for $1100. The rest of the guns in the store were $100-150 higher than they should have been so I kept on walking....maybe I should have grabbed that python?

It really surprises me that Vernon has 2 half as decent gun shops. I've gone a few times for reloading supplies.Originally posted by aggie97 View Postspeaking of pythons, I was playing around on Gunbroker and WOW. pythons have gone up.

Who is we? If you don't understand it I wouldn't worry yourself over them. I'd be interested in picking up that boring unremarkable gun from you.Originally posted by Shockeruti View PostIll never understand why everyone gets so worked up over pythons. There not that special IMO... and yes. We have one."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I just meant people in general. Why they being so much money. Don't get me wrong, They are beautiful guns. Ours is a 6 inch nickle. We (my parents in the early 90s) Picked it up for like 700 bucks. And now every time we take it somewhere we have to hear someone tell me it's a 2000+ dollor handgun. I just laugh and say it's a shooter.

They are widely regarded as the finest production revolver ever made. They have exceptional triggers, the silkiest double action I've ever felt, probably one of the best finishes I've ever seen, and they are incredibly accurate. Not to mention they were always an elite custom pistol, and very expensive since their debut in 1955, they were never cheap at any time. You mention your parents paid $700 for that python in 1990. Well, adjusted for inflation that's $2,024 today. So chances are your parents heard it was a $700 handgun every time they took it out as well.Originally posted by Shockeruti View PostI just meant people in general. Why they being so much money.
