Talk:Colt Python

message: I've seen suggestions that the Python was inspired by the King's custom "Super Target" model based on the Colt Officer's Target. If this is true, it is significant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.42.220 (talk) 17:39, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I have moved this section to a separate page (Colt Python in popular culture) as per the norm for such sections when they grow too large (see MP5, Dragunov Sniper Rifle etc.) since they detract from the main article and some argue they should never have been even be included in the first place. It also aides in inclusion of the Colt Python's appearances in films and video games in the pages: List of firearms in films and List of firearms in video games. Deon Steyn 13:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Could someone with knowledge on the subject explain the terms "underlug" and "rib" in the context of firearms for those that are unaware of their meaning, as these terms currently don't have their own articles? - 81.178.104.77 13:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The wording in the History section seems confusing. The Python was introduced in 1955, yet the first operational laser on earth didn't arrive until 1960, and workable lasers for industrial/manufacturing purposes arrived much later than that. So how can 'each Python' have been laser boresighted? Should it instead say 'later Pythons' or something else that reflects a proper time frame in context with the actual use of lasers in industry?

message: For the ==Models and variants== section:
Under "The second was the stainless steel Colt Grizzly of 1994 [...]"
Above "In 1997 manufacture of the Python was switched from the main assembly line [...]"
Add:
One of the most scarce and little-known variants is the limited-production Colt Python Snake Eyes Sets, with 500 produced only in 1989. The set consists of two .357 Magnum revolvers, one having a Royal Blue finish, one Ultimate Bright stainless, each with a 2-1/2 inch barrel. They are the only Pythons to not have the word "Python" anywhere in their markings and are the only Python model with its serial marked on the butt of the frame rather than the crane and crane cut. The serial numbers are matched to each set using a format of EYESXXX for one and XXXEYES for the mate. The sets also included a backlit display case featuring dice, playing cards, and poker chips, each Colt-branded. Other signature features included the legendary “SNAKE EYES” roll mark on the left side of the barrel and the ivory-like grips featuring detailed scrimshaw Snake Eyes dice on the left side and flush poker hand on the right side. They have steadily increased in value, with the complete EYES478/478EYES set selling on GunBroker.com for $55,580 on 6 August 2023. A stand-alone display case with the accessories but no pistols was sold on 8 July 2023 for $6,282. LoVeloDogs (talk) 03:46, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
