I'm sure you'll love it. I have a stainless loaded and it is fantastic (although after I had to send it back for a trigger job and other stuff done for free - great customer service). Please make sure you give a good report once its in and you have a few rounds down range.

I love my GP100 357. It's my bedroom closet gun. Doesn't have the trigger of a S&W, but its acceptable for me and its built like a tank.

Good looking 17 you got there! ^^^

Decision, decisions..... Need some opinions.... Picking up a Colt Python .357 Mag for an incredible price. Why are these so expensive????? Do I keep it or trade it in on a rifle? I have a nice assortment of wheel guns so adding another is a toss up. Looking at getting a Weatherby 22-250 or .300 Mag, either one in a non-synthetic stock. Really would like a .338 Lapua but I'm not trying to drop that kinda coin right now.

I've always wanted a .22-250. Something about lead moving at 4600 fps is SOOOO cool.

NO doubt! Still have fond memories of shooting dead catfish that were nailed to a tree with a .375 H&H. Talk about a fuggin mess that was.

Picked up my Range Officer during my lunch break, I'll get some pictures up when I get home. This thing is sweet though, can't wait to go shoot it!

WyGuy · 06-03-2011, 04:55 PM

Here are some pics. A little before and after with some new grips.

HK3- · 06-03-2011, 05:59 PM

Scored this piece yesterday for five hundred. Think it was a deal.

Did they quit making these?

1911 is the only way to go!

WyGuy · 06-04-2011, 08:33 AM

Great price for that Python! One of the best looking guns out there.

Absolutely

Nice pick ups guys

The guys at Gander Moutain in Knoxville offered me $650 for the Python. Guess I will wait until the next gun show to see what she brings.
