That is correct. The last of the Pythons was produced and sold about 5 years ago. They were not selling at the price point. The Python was the last to go the others had been phased out over the preceding years. This is an old discussion on this forum and about every gun forum.
Colt was steadily losing money on it's revolver line. The cost of a vintage Python has no bearing on what folks were willing to pay for a standard production revolver 5 or 15 years ago.
10-15 years ago a young shooter could pay $400. for a new Glock, $350. for a Ruger da revolver, $400-450 for a S&W 686 or $900. for a new Python. They did not buy the Python.
