Riddle me this. If there were 3 Colt Pythons for sale and all other things equal, color, finish, barrel bore etc. Would barrel length determine a price difference? In other words did they make more 2" barrels rather than 4's? Are 6's more desirable than other lengths? Enough for a big price difference? I have a shot at buying one (no pun intended) but it's a 4" and I don't want to be stuck with a dog that I won't be able to sell later on if I get tired of it.

The determining factor would be the original box and papers. It'll bring a few hundred more for resale.

 

See if you can get a 3".

A friend has one. big money. he passed on a 38 Special thinking it was a mistake. The mistake was on his part.

PK That's good to know. I one I have since the '80's has the paperwork, and the cardboard box with the fake woodgrain. I bought it to shoot bullseye, but realized the the hammer throw was too long in rapid fire and bought a Smith and put my Colt in the safe. Now I have a chance to buy a nickle 4" in decent, but not very good shape and don't want to pay a fortune for it just 'cause it has the pony on the side. I'm thinking 500 or 600 is a fair price.
