The prettiest revolvers out there.

[macolesby]

So lately as I've been building and enhancing my collection I've decided that my revolver game needed to be stepped up a little bit, While browsing my local shop here I managed to find my almost dream revolver. Granted it's newer production, and the barrel is about 2 inches too short, but in the end for about $1100 out the door I finally picked up my first Python. Growing up my father's collection consisted of pythons, diamondbacks, and several other Colt's. However when he started teaching me to shoot revolvers the Diamondback became training tool early on. (He still has it and I still shoot it constantly to this day). Anyway, Here's my current favorite Colt that I own. Now I just need to talk my dad out of his older 4 inch model to go with it.

Congratulations, I am always glad to see someone be able to get what he really likes.

In the 70's, A 6" Python and a Gold cup were two things you were proud to have in your Pachmyer bullseye pistol box. A Unertl spotting scope on the bracket was the icing on the cake. That set up was way difficult to afford, but once you got it, you were proud.

I don't have the Python or the Gold Cup anymore, I don't even have the pistol box or the spotting scope, but I am glad I had a chance to enjoy them at that time in my life.

I hope you really enjoy yours.

Beautiful revolver. I have been tempted many times by the new 3" Python. Maybe one of these days. I grew up with S&W's which I still use today. Have owned probably a wheelbarrow full over the years. Did play with some Rugers here and there. But I have never owned a Colt revolver. Nothing intentional it just never happened. Maybe I need to fix that?

This one is damn nice and in the classifieds.

That Colt is gorgeous and I'd love one just like yours with a six inch barrel. The early 686s like mine with medallion grips, forged trigger/pin on the hammer, and no internal lock are very pretty to me also.

I am a SW guy but it has been hard to walk out of gun stores without a new production Python. Iconic gun and worthy of ownership.

Congrats!

I have low standards of pretty I guess.

I love the Ruger New Blackhawk in .357, and the Ruger GP100 both stainless steel.

nice wheelgun man!

I got my first revolver on here when I joined, and that started the collection. S&W is enough to learn about, I haven’t even tried learning Colts yet. What confuses me is some are <$1000, while some are near $3000 for what seems like the same gun. Same kinda goes for Smith but it seems more apparent what’s different and why the price varies. With Colt they have more collector peculiarities that I am ignorant to.

One thing that is consistent is their aesthetics. A work of art!

oh if I had the fund’s available it would be in my hands

Here's a contender, Manurhin MR38 Match. By far the most accurate 38 SPL I've ever owned.

 

[Colt556]

A few Smiths I think are kinda nice.

 

[Colt556]

I’ve always wanted a 586 and was fortunate enough to pick this one up from a fellow Ingo member

 

[macolesby]

Don't worry my smiths get attention as well.

 

[Colt556]

I play with a few Colts too, but love the Smiths.

 

[indyblue]

Not the prettiest nor a Colt. Not mine but I'm waiting for a time & place to go shoot this S&W 500 6.5"
I'm working up some handloads for the owner and I get to test them.

This one is damn nice and in the classifieds.

A 3 inch smith is a fine looking wheelgun

I've always liked Ruger Vaquero Bisley models. You don't see them much anymore in gun shops around here, but I'm in danger of paying whatever silly price they have on a stainless 357 model if I run across one.
