Discussion
Okay. that's it. I want one. I'm getting one
Yesterday I was in a local gunstore and there was a very nice widow getting her late husband's firearms appraised. Among the collection was a beautiful Python with a 6" barrel manufactured in 1958. It still had the original 1st generation wooden grips and that amazing Royal Blue finish. She let me take a look at it. It's balance was great and it's timing was still terrific. It was appraised at $1,700. Okay that was the clincher. I'm going to exert self-discipline and start saving up for a Python. If that means $1,500 - $2,000 than so be it. I'm getting one. And I'm under no illusions about how tough this will be. Especially when I come across a real nice S&W revolver. I can feel the pain already. --Jcordell 00:14, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Good luck, mate. But, d'you mind if I brag for a moment? This Christmas, my grandfather is giving me his 6" nickel Python :) -SasquatchJim.

I learned to shoot @ 13 with my dad's 6-inch nickel Python. He still has the original grips and package.

An Idea
Guys, could someone please add a short text how to distinguish the Python and the Anaconda, you know, for noobs like me? To me both revolvers look the same, the only difference I can see is the screws' placement above the trigger mechanism. (And of course the nomenclature is different but that can rarely be seen in films and games.) Thanks. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:28, 10 August 2011 (CDT)
How to distinguish a Colt Python from a Colt Anaconda
- The trigger guards are shaped differently, the bottom of the Python's trigger guard is flat, the bottom of the Anaconda's trigger guard slants forward and downward.
- The Anaconda is noticeably larger overall than the Python (and is almost twice as heavy).
- The screw placement above the trigger mechanism is different.
- The griped tip of the ejector rod on the Python is longer than the Anaconda's, the ejector rod itself on the Anaconda's is longer than the Python's.
- The Anaconda only comes with a Stainless Steel finish, Blued Anacondas do not exist.
Hope this helps. - Mr. Wolf 02:28, 25 August 2011 (CDT)
