I remember that ad. As a kid, I spent many hours browsing through hunting magazines. I dreamed of having that pistol and shooting a blackbuck like that. Thanks for the memories!!!

Cool pic and story Don. If you still have the Python, it's worth at least 10 times what you paid for it now. ditto! I sure regret getting rid of mine!

While probably one of my favorite pistols it's not one of my favorite shooters. Beautifully blued and perfectly fitted but with just a single locking point it's weak compared to the S&W K-frames. They can be shot out of time fairly quick using just factory 357 ammo. But I still ain't getting rid of them! I'll stick with a Smith and Wesson for overall use and performance, double locking points and a much better single action trigger. Give it a trigger job and it's better than the Colt. Shot combat matches for some time back in the 70's and the Smith ruled the competition.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I desperately wanted one of those Python Hunter packages as a kid. Now that I'm a mature 53 year old I still do. Cool thread, Don.
