More pics of my Snubbie

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 08:14 AM

I rec'd my 1963 2.5" Python today. I promised more pictures so here they are. The craftsmanship on this one is noticeable better than my 77 and 79 versions. I had heard the early ones were better, now I see the difference in person.

Very very nice snubby

RonR6 · March 16, 2013, 08:42 AM

Absolutly beautiful. That pistol is a true classic.

Kreyzhorse · March 16, 2013, 09:13 AM

That sir, is an impressive gun.

kutz · March 16, 2013, 09:16 AM

Dang Nice!

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 09:26 AM

Thanks for looking guys. It really is a nice Python. I have two others but the finish on the early sixties models are top notch for sure.

WildBill45 · March 16, 2013, 09:39 AM

that gun is too ugly for you to own!

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR IT????

jglsprings · March 16, 2013, 10:07 AM

I get the impression that you are not very happy with this purchase.

Tell us how you really feel.

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 11:27 AM

jgl, I have bought a good many guns in the last two years, but have never been more pleased than with this one. Its true it cost more than any other I have bought but it was a very satisfying purchase.

jglsprings · March 16, 2013, 01:37 PM

Nothing like getting the gun that you really want.

I understand getting "the" gun. I have a nickel Model 19 that replaced a long lost "first" gun. I paid a bit more than I should have and I'll never, ever, sell it.

These pictures make your Python look better than the first set did.

Have you shot it yet? I was amazed how well the short Pythons handled the 357 loads.

Thanks for the new screen saver...

RonR6 · March 16, 2013, 02:41 PM

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it? I really like it.

Please, stop with the photos already. You're causing me severe physical anguish, aka Extreme Lust Disorder.

dayman · March 16, 2013, 03:46 PM

I love my ruger, but that is a very attractive gun.

Chesster · March 16, 2013, 04:02 PM

Nice addition.

Frankv64 · March 16, 2013, 04:11 PM

That is one beautiful revolver

MercyfulFate · March 16, 2013, 04:15 PM

Beautiful gun, jealous!

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 05:03 PM

RonR6, I paid the market price. I was watching 5 different ones on GB and they averaged just over 2300 bucks. So I was satisfied. I would have liked to have gotten a better deal, but the deals are quickly disappearing.

Niantician · March 16, 2013, 05:15 PM

Gonna shoot it?

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 06:38 PM

Niant, yes it will be gently shot. It is not perfect and I have no box or paperwork. It has been shot before. Rest assured it will be babied though!

RonR6 · March 16, 2013, 08:19 PM

Well that is a little more than I thought it would have cost, but like you said the supply of them is limited and you are very lucky to have found one. I have a Colt Diamondback and a Trooper, I always wanted a older Python but just never purchased one. Good luck with your new toy.

got2hav1 · March 16, 2013, 08:56 PM

RonR6, Of the ones that I was following on GB and actually sold. 2300 and change was the average of 5-6 guns. Nothing lower than 1800.

Pezo · March 16, 2013, 09:08 PM

That is an amazing revolver!

GyMac · March 16, 2013, 10:06 PM

That is a beautiful gun! The only thing it needs is a Tyler T-grip.

zeke · March 17, 2013, 12:38 PM

Another 60's era, and of course i agree with ya
