For the price of a Python you could have 3 to 4 Security Six models (different barrel lengths) or a Dan Wesson pistol-pack or a GP/SP combination. I would rather have my HD, SD, Range, Carry/hiking and hunting covered for the same price. I say this because I recently spent $1000 for 3 Security Six revolvers. I'll take "quality and quantity" over just "quality" any day.
Just a little tid-bit from your
thrifty neighborhood skidder.
but.... If I just wanted ONE.... I would go with the Dan Wesson Pistol Pack. Quality, and it's still considered just ONE.
