Damn! I might have to really take a good look at this one!

I have a 76 vintage 6" that's a dream to shoot.

Might have to fondle that 4" thou 

If I heard right, $1499.00. Looks like I'll be walking the hiways picking up bottles. Might have to sell my 73 year old body. I wonder though, what about the value of the old Pythons? Per the vid, doesn't seem to be any major changes that would cause the new production to valued like the old.

I'd love to have one but the $1,500 price tag is pretty hard to swallow.  Even as an investment collectible, hard for me to complete the synaptic jump to pull the trigger.

3 times what a comparable Ruger and 2 times comparable S&W would run......

I've never been shy about paying extra for real quality but this kinda multiple strikes me as potentially well into nonsense territory. 

Well the $1499.00 price is MSRP. Probably the first ones out of the gate will go for that or even more. But let the supply catch up to demand and you'll probably be able to pick one up for $11-1200.00. Still not pocket change, at least not my pockets anyway. But if all of the neat new features are as good as they want to brag about, it might be worth the money. If the gun has the usual Colt Python "slick" and the incredible trigger, I'm a player for a 4.25". Just wished it came in something that doesn't resemble the front bumper of my 74 F100 toy truck. Per Colt rep, there's more to come from Colt this year. Who knows, with the renewed interest in the 10mm, you might see a Colt Python in 10mm. That was my first thought when they talked about the heavier frame than the old Python. Kinda opens up the playing field.

That price is steep.  I picked up my S&W 28-2 for less than $500.  I want to say less than $300 but I don't recall for sure.  Now, I got a really great deal, but that is kinda the point.  Great deals on good shooters are out there.  I am not likely to drop over $1000 on a gun for possible "collector" value in the future.  And if I want a 357 Mag shooter a Ruger GP100 or a S&W 686 will serve just as well for lots less dough.

And, I gotta admit, they better have upped the game a bunch from the Cobra remake or this will fall flat fast.

I'd be interested only if the trigger is an equal to the original Python's, too. No point spending this kind of money for a look-a-like without it. There are two new 4" models of the Kimber K6S DASA coming in 2020, as well. Kimber already has that trigger system figured out and it's really close to an original Python. Probably less money than this new Python as well.

But, like everybody else, I've always lusted after a Python. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Here's one on GB going at double the MSRP with a day to go.

Well...That is just a bit crazy.

Don't know that I'd spring for it if money wasn't a concern

That would be a hard no thanks.

Brings to mind a famous phrase attributed to PT Barnum. 

If they're built with the quality craftsmanship of the original Pythons, I might find my way to $800-$1000.
But I got a feeling the new Python will be very different from the original, and not worth the cost.

Quote3 times what a comparable Ruger and 2 times comparable S&W would run......

Damn straight   

while the new Pythons are probably a fine revolver, they are still not an original. the new one has a few "improvements" so that right there means its not the same revolver. the main reason the old Pythons have such a high collector value is because they are no longer made. the new model won't affect the value of the old ones. the new ones wont have any collector value until they too have been out of production.

You're probably right blaster. My brother and I collect the old thumb busters. My favorite of the bunch is an 1898 made Colt 38-40. It's an amazing little gun. As I recall the factory duplication load is 7.0 grs Unique under a 180gr lead bullet. Great for rolling around cans shooting from the hip. The next 2 generations of thumb busters hasn't apparently effected its value so that's probably where it'll end up for the old Pythons. But then, at age 72, I could care less about value. I'll never sell one of them anyway. The wife might considering we had an all girl family and neither SILs have any interest. Unless someone finds a way to take it with them, it's all about the shooting experience that counts.
