A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

recent pickup: bi-centennial python


Lately my buying habits have been closer to profligate than penurious. But sometimes you have to "invest"! (More on this later: guns are the only thing I have that have gone up in what people will pay.)


First investment property: LNIB bicentennial python. The thing is the most LNIB of any LNIB python I've seen. I'm not sure how it got seperated from the other two guns in the set, but I'm glad of it. This is my favorite special edition python that colt has done (though there were so many, I've seen relatively none) --- most others seem to have a weird explosion of engravings that seem tacky.

I really like the grips --- unfortunately I haven't seen them anywhere else. The closest ones I know of are the "oversize ebony" grips at grips4guns.com





Kind of cool to see the .357 on the right side of the barrel:
