2020 Colt Python

[Jeremy K]

I want a revolver to hunt with and grew up shooting a colt . I can't see spending 1500 on a .357  If it was a 44 ...

My #1 wanted handgun is a bit cheaper but still a bit much for a late Christmas present.

I have it.  She's delightful.  I think retail it was 1400 ish?  Be prepared to have a pain in the ass finding a good holster for it.  I want to get a chest holster that will accommodate a rail attachment.

These new Pythons are improved versions of the old Pythons.  I'd much rather have one of these new ones than one of the old ones.  The old ones are for collectors.  The new ones are for shooters that will use them.  That's me.  IMHO @ $1500 MSRP, which may mean an over the counter price of about $1300 soon, it's a bargain.  I love revolvers and have 4 currently, from .22 to .45.  I'll be buying one in the near future.

Look into Kenai chest holster   They’ll custom one if no stock one made.

I asked an Erie county sheriffs why I have a clean background. The letter they sent was a very generic saying I wasn’t %100 honest with my past. I submitted all of my speeding and cell phone tickets. He said it’s random and besides NYC it’s the hardest place in the country to get a permit. I already exhausted enough of my time downtown and lost the money I spent for the application. Screw them I think it’s BS that 1 judge gets to make the decision on who gets one and who doesn’t. 

Wow sorry to hear that . The other day I talked to a guy who has his permit from a different county then where he lives because, he owns rental properties there . My daughter moved to Erie and we were nervous about transferring her Unrestricted  permit there, as your packet is sent from previous county, then Erie calls you in and you go through some of their bs. 
 

The county that issued her permit, said she could do that OR, they would put her Buffalo address on her permit and notify the a State Police of her new address and bypass Erie altogether.

On one  a forum , nyfirearms ,there’s always guys with your issues, and many have resolved them . Some very knowledgeable guys there as well as gun instructors,and attorneys who specialize in these things. Some have simply requested a hearing and pleaded their case .

Earlier this year I picked up the King Cobra, it is a beautiful revolver and very accurate. The Python will definitely be in my safe when available.

Big time garbage.....my Dad and I just took a ride the other day to Erie PA and got a Pennsylvania permit in 10 minutes. Turned in a one page application, payed 20 bucks and had our pic taken buy a sherrifs deputy. The deputy barely even spoke to us and said we'll receive our permit in 3 weeks.

I got my PA permit in Erie 2 weeks ago,  I walked out WITH IT in less than 10 minutes. They printed the card right then and there. $20.

I was looking for a wheel gun. I really like the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan. Nice to be able to stop a charging bear. But now that I know the snake guns are back....I always wanted a Python with a 4" barrel. Hope they become available in the larger calibers.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you need a NY pistol permit or a permit in the state you reside in to be able to get your PA permit?

Yes. Same with non resident Utah/ Florida and New Hampshire

Heres a map that you can put in your permit and see what others states will honor  it. Back when myself and wife signed up to get our Utah permit PA was on the list of states that would honor it. So from the time we signed to the time they gave the course PA decided to remove themselves from it. We’ve been slacking about going to get our PA out of state , we need to go .

Sweet looking gun. That sure is big price tag.

they could probably sell it for twice that as it's sold out already.

@sodfather There is a lawyer by the name of Peter Vasiliion at 8845 Sheridan Dr @ Shimerville that might be able to help. I've had limited dealings with him, which went well. His website is

 http://www.pvasilionlaw.com/practice-areas/pistol-permit-matters/ The google reviews are surprisingly mixed. Not sure how much stock I would put in them, however, given my positive dealings with him.

Thanks Joe I will for sure look into this guy....

I got my non resident Florida and Utah permits before I got my NY permit. Unless they changed the rules? It was several years ago.

That's a chunk of change, but I'm curious what the actual street value will be. I'm sure way too much for me, but I would imagine it will be under the $1500 msrp.

Sharp gun though.

Yes, that is correct. They don't even want references anymore. Just your info, show your NYS permit and they printed one for me right then and there.

The King Cobra was available at MSRP and higher when I purchased mine a few months ago. Colt did a limited release, they were difficult to find. I'm sure they will do the same with the Python.

This was my grandfather's 38 colt when he rode with the niagara county mounted division. I guess it would have been back in the early 60s . He gave the gun to my dad around the same time he graduated high school.

For Florida don't you have to get your fingerprints from a cop?

Unrestricted. I don’t believe they are giving restricted permits very often anymore. ...Erie county that is...

I thought Erie county gives mostly restricted permits and then you have to go before a judge to have the restrictions removed .

I meant NY permit. In Westchester they almost never (read never) give anyone an unrestricted permit
