Question on the Colt Python cylinder catch. When I got my Python
(no longer have) I was instructed when I closed the cylinder to hold the catch in the rearward position. Anyone know if this is correct.
I traded off the Python for a 5" M-27, never really sorry I did that.
By the way I paid $125.00 for the Python and sold it for $225.00
A very long time ago.

Mine was $376 OTD with a box of .357's in 1978. I still got the recept around some where. The box is long gone. The Python has always been kept in a hard case. I have been offered $1,000 for it, but it's not for sale.

Nice Gun!!!!!!!!!! I carried one as a primary duty weapon for almost 6years in the late 70's-early 80's because we were given the option to carry our own sidearm if we chose to. We then switched to 1911's. My Python was stolen along with all my duty gear and 10 other guns including my dads original 1911A1 .45 he carried in WWII on Iwo Jima. Please enjoy it!! It is the finest wheel gun ever made.
