I have been watching Gun Broker for Pythons and noticed they are suddenly crawling out from everywhere. It doesn't surprise me as the asking and bidding prices on them has gone through the roof the past couple weeks. I have seen this before. Guys see a gun they own fetch premium pricing and give it a go for themselves. Eventually they will begin to come down again but man oh man... you folks should go over there and look at some of the asking prices!!!! WOW!!!! Patience is on my side... I can wait. I watched other firearms of various design do the same thing. I even have benefited from the frenzy of semi-auto "assault :coolgleamA: " rifles and made five to ten fold mark ups myself. I have decided on a Python and will wait it out for the right one.

By the way... I used to own a 586 in 6" barrel and loved that thing. I guess Smith quit making them.... I could kick myself for ever selling it, but that is also on my watch list. I really don't like the new style with the weird square looking barrel. that thing ain't no revolver...LOL.

I had a Colt Gold Cup Series 80 I bought brand new from Oshmans...LOL...they are no longer around. I paid around 450 dollars for that gun, which was a lot of money in 1983 money. The ones that got away!!!!! Those are the ones I long for the most...LOL.
