I tend to disagree with scorch in that parts are still reasonably available for "I" frame Colt revolvers.

Also, while there are maybe a few who get $200.00 for a set of Colt "I" frame target grips on eBay or some such, if you look around, you can find them for a lot less. People tend to get "auction fever" on sites like eBay and Gunbroker and overpay for some things.

I've had two .357's in my lifetime and both of them had a smooth lockwork that equaled or exceeded any Python I've had, especially the later Pythons made in the 70's and 80's.
