A 1981 Colt Python in .357 Magnum with the 6-inch vent rib barrel. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The blued finish is in very good condition, as are the Pachmayr rubber grips, and the box is included. Serial number K20182.

A blued Python from the early 1980s is the revolver most Pennsylvania wheelgun collectors eventually want, and this one has the full-length vent rib and the condition to match. The Pachmayr grips tell you a previous owner shot it rather than just displayed it, and that is no bad thing, since a 6-inch Python is at its best on a club range with a cylinder of .38 Special for practice and .357 Magnum when you want to feel the difference. The box adds to its value whenever it moves on. Pennsylvania has no handgun registration, so ownership involves no state filing beyond the dealer paperwork.
