The polishing and bluing job on these pythons is just gorgeous. They look like glass.
Obsidian colts.
Did anyone else notice that mat surface for sighting? Very nice.
@@SkywallGuttz That is actually a pretty common thing.
Mmmm! 🤤 I want either a nickel or chrome plated or a highly polished stainless steel one! I like my revolvers shiny! 😍
Axel Reunis seriously, it looks like the finish adds a few oz. lol it just looks like it’s a thick finish for some reason.
There’s firearms, then there’s art.
This piece of art was the weapon of my father. He used it for competition purposes in our shooting club. i remember vividly his dry aiming exercices in our living room with it and his thorough maintenance routine. Of course already as a child i held the python in my little hands (no rounds loaded). It was a fascinating and at the same time humbling experience. Also the smell of the maintenance oil (Ballistol) i'll never forget. I use Ballistol today for various things...and every time i smell this oil it reminds me of this legendary Colt Python 6"...
Sounds like you should get yourself one now that they're making the pythons again!
I don't use anything but ballistol.
This is the most beautiful revolver ever made.
I agree! I have an early Ni finish w/6 barrel. I think my dad bou guy t in 1963
Bought one for $325. I was in the shop when it came in. Left the store with it in 1976. Still have it. Can not saw how much I like that pistol. It made every pistol fill like it was a second grade copy. Smooth as silk t to this day.
That is $1,638 adjusted for inflation assuming average inflation of 3.58% over the years. Man I love these guns, once my gun fund recovers from buying the 4” python I’m going to get a 6” then save for MR73.
Oops I’m sorry that would be $1,518 from 1976 to 2019, the year you posted your comment. I forgot to look.
It's crazy that I started watching you when I was like 6 years old and now I'm 13!
Be the future voice of America's progun population
What was a 6 year old doing watching guns videos
@@agentflipflop684 I'm from the backwoods of south Carolina what else is there to do😂
Huh... i was like 13... I’m 18 now
Kids could be watching alot worse lol. At least he's watching someone practicing firearms safety. 👍
After all these years I still laugh at "let's smoke some pot" every time.
When Hickok45 says lets smoke some pot, you smoke some pot....
Getting high with hickock45 here. Pass that joint son...
1975. wife said she would by me a gun for a birthday present. Went back to the store, and they did not have the Dragoon I wanted, so she said pick one. They had the Python 6" Highly Polished Stainless, but I did not want to spend that much money. (Was in the military and just got married). I settled for the Trooper MkIII 6", and I had protected my homes for over 40 years. Even shot a White Tail deer with it. My favorite gun ever. Carried in the woods for over 30 years, and you can tell. My Trooper is PRICELESS! Thanks for the memory Hickok45!
The best looking revolver ever made, in its best looking form (6 inch, blued.) More than a little drool collecting just from watching.

7:04. You missed the very next comment he made.
@@quinnjim lol, I did miss that
He switched to the 4" lol
Tis November.
Lmao!
This gun is absolutely amazing and beautiful
@Abe Froman damn autocorrect I meant it to be gun
What did it autocorrect to?
How much do you think it cost him ??
@@stefanlofven2986 girl
Like a sir
So this is rick grimes dad
I think so
The best thing about these videos are the constant knowledge and NO ADDS
Just beautiful. I agree that a huge part of the value and beauty in guns is in shooting them. I too, prefer the S&W brand - but that Python action might be the best ever built.
If I was a gun, I'd want a relationship with one of these.
Yeah, they are the Supermodel of handguns. :-)
Oh yeah :) This firearm is a beauty! The look, the feeling, the nice gentle touch..... Uuups I´m getting some wiered feelings toward this gun ;) This can´t be right... hehehehe
@@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren No it's okay. Let it all out man.
Hickock 45 your a better man than me! I have a 1973 Python and a 1971 Diamondback both 4" and both royal blue and I cannot bring myself to shoot either! In fact there isn't even a cut ring on the cylinders because I've not even cocked the hammers. I always believed posessions were to be used and not "hoarded". Especially firearms. But damn, they are so beautiful I just cant do it! I guess that makes me a hypocrite! I'm happy you got to enjoy yours!
Congrats on finding such a great specimen. What memories this video conjured! The very first time I ever fired any pistol was around 1978 with an identical Python, and it spoiled me for any other revolver. What a way to start a hobby. But, I do agree about Smith ergonomics. I've never forgotten that hand fitted smooth action and deep finish. You'd have to spend $$$ more on a Korth to even come close, and the Python is still prettier.
Why have a korth when you can have Python
I love my Python as well!
i want one real bad but im only 11 so i gotta wait 10 more yrs
@@dustoniuspollywogus8105 I’ve wanted one since I was your age. Bought my first one 2 days ago
@@sethison2727 nice
@@dustoniuspollywogus8105 you won’t be disappointed
@@sethison2727 i dont think i will be disapointed
The production, editing, and quality of this video is awesome! Great entertaining!
Good for you Mr. Hickok. I enjoy your history and banter about firearms. Thanks to you, JB
Was one of the first revolvers I've ever held in my hands, and it ruined every other revolver for me - the design, the finish, the tight tolerances, the smooth operation.
Yes, they've got their issues, but love ain't rational. One day I'll get one myself.
PS: Thanks for letting that beauty do what it was built for, which isn't collecting dust in some safe.
It amazes me that Colt still hasn't brought these back.
They have python target, they run between 850 to 1000
Mark Crain those are no longer in production and run around 2-3000
They can't. Not really. The people and fixtures that made them are gone.
The manufacturing process alone would cost a fortune... Which would be passed down to us....
@@markcrain4923 you're thinking of the King Cobra Target
One of the most beautiful revolvers ever made.
Gorgeous revolver. Couldn't have found a better home. Thanks for sharing it.
I am glad to see you shoot it and not make it a safe queen like so many people tend to do.
Nothing wrong with that. That's why you buy two lol
It says your comment was 2 weeks ago, but the video was posted yesterday. YT glitch, or are you a time traveler?
@@mattcarroll5603 it was aired 2 weeks ago, I guess he decided to show again.
@@bluescatreimer Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.
@@mattcarroll5603 Your welcome.
That was my Dad's carry piece the whole time he was a CHP... He still misses it.
Such an awesome firearm. My grandfather has one and i got to shoot it last year and it was amazing. They look absolutely gorgeous.
That is a piece of art. Love the old school styling. So gorgeous! Beautiful.
That’s some fine shooting! First cylinder right on target. What a treat to see that
let’s appreciate this man and how legend he is and his loves to his guns
My great grandfather received a 4” blued Python for retiring from his Depute Sherif career after WWII. 4 years ago a guy asked if he could trade me a 4” blued Python for something I was trading. I’ve never thought twice about it. It’s my favorite firearm
My favorite type of collectors, are ones who fire "unfired" guns and enjoy them! Love this Colt! So happy to see it being used and enjoyed!!!
I swear i wanted to search: 'hicock 45 python' 2 days ago. Here's my results!
You must've been thinking awfully loud and he heard you;-)
Don't you love it when that happens? :)
Had the same feeling when he released the Mauser Broomhandle video
Think ya meant "hickok" not "hicock" but hey, whatever floats your boat buddy. Should check pornhub though, if you really meant the latter.
@@trashpanda314 Better to have a hicock rather than a lowcock, less you have the blue pill. Speaking of hi things, hopefully not a highpoint.
@@dronenoobFL 😂
Congratulations on your find! I ran across an unfired 6” blue Python with box and docs around 7 years ago. Paid $900 for it and I had a couple friends who said I paid way too much for it. Ha! I still haven’t fired it but after seeing this video, I think I’ll take it out for a spin.
Now my evening is complete,thank you Mr Hickock,you are a legend sir.
I have an '81 Python in 98% condition. 6", blue, with the box and papers. I bought it in 1990 for $350; at that time it was by far the most expensive gun I had ever bought. I have fired a box of ammo through it ever year since I got it.
That’s $709 adjusted for inflation from 1990-2019. You got an absolute bargain compared to today’s prices
I have never owned a colt revolver, i have always been a smith & wesson man. I can appreciate the beauty however. On another note, the most repeated phrase by Hickok45 might be "i'll take a couple more shots". God bless you sir, continue to do what you do for as long as possible! We all enjoy it!
I got a 4" one of these. It's been fired before I got it though. Absolutely beautiful gun though.
@@matthew2187 Very cool...Is it blued liked this one? I honestly wish I had a 6 inch one like this. 6 inch is the best looking revolver barrel length to me.
@@matthew2187 Same here, my uncle had the one I have now, and my dad bought it from him for like $800 which is a steal for a Python, and then he gave it to me.
What bothers me though is that my dad had multiple Pythons in the past but sold them. He also had an Anaconda which he was either going to sell or sell a different .44 magnum revolver (don't remember what kind it was, but it might have been a Taurus or a Smith & Wesson). So he gave me the choice, and I asked him to sell the other one, not the Anaconda. Then later on he sold the Anaconda too. 🤦♂️
How much do you think he paid for that?
@@jimmysapien9961 about 5 grand, give or take...
Michael Medley wow pricey
The only reason I can think of why someone could dislike this video is that some people are too salty about not being able to shoot that python themselves. I really hope Colt starts making these again.
I had a 6" Python and a 6" Model 29 back in the '70s-80s. A neat thing about the Python was that it was SO smooth, I could cock it, put a dime onto the front sight, extend to a Weaver and dry fire it without the dime falling off. Purt near every time. I could do it sometimes with the Smith, but not nearly as often as with the Colt. One of those firearms that I regret ever getting rid of. I often think about getting another Python, but in a 4". The Model 29 went away, too. Now I have a 25-5 and a 25-7 which I really enjoy. Shoot safely, my Friends. Blessings..
A true classic and what a great find! I had the pleasure of firing one and comparing it to the Smith and Wesson 586. These two revolvers are just about tied! We couldn't decide which was better, so if can afford it have both! Great revolvers!
I can't wait for you to review the NEW COLT PYTHON!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Good video, I have the same revolver. Bought new in 1981 for $464 out the door in Tucson, still have box, papers and the receipt. Awesome revolver. Not a safe queen but not abused.
shot, cleaned and coated with Renaissance wax.
Thanks for your continued hard work!
Worth mentioning as you point out the wonderful quality of that pistol: Back in the early 80's a friend of mine bought a Dan Wesson Arms .357. Its bluing, action, fit and finish were, in my opinion, every bit as good as that of the Python. Another superb example.
I Agree
I have a Dan wesson too bud. Sweet gun. I shot a squib and put another behind it. Swelled the barrel. I had the barrel replaced. If it wasn't such a great firearm it would have hurt me or been a paper weight
Have always loved the Colt Python. Wow!
I'm very glad that you launched some lead with us Hickok. I could never buy a gun and leave it unfired. It's a crime against the engineering world. :) Beautiful gun.
She's a beauty! Could not have found a better home! :) Thanks for sharing with us!
I don´t know why, the Python always has me going "Sweet mercy but that is a beautiful gun." They just look right, like, this is how a revolver is supposed to look.
It is one of the most beautiful gun I have ever seen, just like the Luger. Greetings from Spain
Congratulations on the NEW oldie ( I was born in 82 I can say that). I like the fact one of the most popular gun people on the planet also has the gun buying addiction and struggles with the "should I sell/trade this" dilemma. Sometimes I get down on myself when I see nice toys and can't afford them. BIG shout out to LAYAWAY!!
This is the best video ever from Hickok. Always wondered what the big deal was about a Python. Great revolver!
Appreciate y’all from Texas
It's during times like these that I wish I had smellivision! That way I could really appreciate the sights and sounds of the first shots from the revolver.
Beautiful 👍. I have the same weapon from 1975. Very precise and smooth trigger right out of the box! Like a mechanical watch.
WOW what a great find!!! Beautiful gun. What a special feeling one gets on shooting a newly owed firearm the first time. Thanks for sharing your first shots with the python. Can hear you telling it after the video"welcome home baby"
I still have my six inch Python, and I still love it.
This man is a national treasure
I have had at least a dozen or so Pythons from the 2 1/2” inch up the the 8” inch and even a 6” inch Nickel Plated Python and for what ever reason I got rid of everyone of them and 8 years ago I sold my Colt Anaconda .44 magnum but I did get $2:000 out of that. Anyway Hickok you are one lucky guy and I thank you for letting us enjoy the first ever shots from your Beautiful Royal Blue Colt Python The Cadillac Of Revolvers!!!
Thank you for the video the guns (Pythons)that were made in the 1960’s and early 1970’s were wonderful
The Colt Python is my dream gun!
TheMultiGunMan ..Mine too! Approximately 30 years ago I held a Python for the first time and fell for it, but even back then it was too pricey for me. Fast forward 20 years and I could then easily buy one, but my gunsmith strongly discouraged me saying that they would not stay in time. So, I did not buy one. DAMN! I should have!!! “Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda”.
Hello from France, awesome Gun Review
Bravo
Looks like my Daddys old 357 but was an earlier model from 70s Mom got rid of it after Dad passed, I sure wish I had that old python! That is a thing of beauty!
That's one beautiful pistol. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love your videos Hickock, thank God I found this channel. Bless the second amendment.
Gorgeous revolver...... enjoy the highly collectible piece of artwork!
This Python carries the DNA of Samuel Colt & his Gunsmith Engineer Elijah King Root, created the first guns which "won the West" as well as transforming the American manufacturing and marketing.
We watch & live vicariously through your display of these classics, Thanks for the thrill & keep sharing new classic Western firearms !
Beautiful firearm, I purchased one for my wife to honor her father who was a Sheriff's Deputy in LA long ago and he always wanted one.
Very nice, owned 3 thruout the years, never gave more than 350, sold them, wish I still had them especially with the $ they are worth now.
That’s a beauty!
That is truly unbelievable. You deserve it Hickok! Have fun
Another great informative video from one of best on TH-cam
I'm consumed with jealousy right now, the Python is in my opinion the most beautiful handgun ever made.!!
"I may be off right?" Lol gotta love this guy what'a dude
Thanks Hickok for sharing your Revolver so Beautiful whew. And as always Great Shooting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is a great find i know you will enjoy it, i have my dad's 6 inch python and i am like you they just look cool and that box is very cool too thanks for waiting letting us be there when you first shot it
Love videos like this, a beautiful gun that I don’t feel obliged to buy, but can enjoy seeing being shot.
This is an awesome classic;
I have written a character that
uses this with a biker cowboy
get-up. The story is still in the
developmental process.
The best looking revolver ever! I own two pythons: 1978 in blue and 1994 bright stainless Good video! Thank you Sir!
Yes, a Colt Python !!!!!!!!!!! That is a gorgeous revolver , Hickok45 !!!!!!!!! I would love to have one in my collection
We tell ourselves, that
*WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD*
"Go ahead, make my day punk." Such an amazing gun!
that,ll be Smith & Wessons model 29 .44 magnum
Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo it reminded me of it
Slightly misquoted the line too, but oh well.
There's such an appreciation for the art and beauty of these things.
I am very happy for you that you have another now..excellent..and I'm impressed an very glad that you have taken it out to enjoy it for what it was intended for, it is the perfect implement for the hunting of 2litres,targets and pot-smoking ! Life is Good !!
“I see you slobbering on my revolver” 😂
Ice Out it was the best thing I’ve ever heard 😂
BEAUTIFUL!!! Gong hit it's official.
Now, THAT'S one gorgeous piece of hardware...!
Still the most Beautiful Revolver ever made. Saw one (6", blued) first time on the cover of a gun magazine called 'Magnum' in 1976 published in Johannesburg, South Africa. I lived in Kimberley at the time & was 13 years old! Promised myself i would get one when i grew up! Unfortunately, the new government in SA limits the firearms you may have to three (one hunting rifle, one handgun for target shooting/competition & one weapon for self-defence) & is attempting at every level to render the population defenceless in one of the most violent countries on Earth by legislating constantly against firearm owners.
That sadly will prevent me from owning one of these.
Thank you for sharing this. Its lovely to see someone so passionate about this particular Revolver!
Don't trade it again...😉..& enjoy it!
I can’t imagine how many firearms you traded for this. Wow.
I wouldn't want to know. Hopefully none of his Pump Action Shotguns and/or Lever Action Rifles.
Unfired Python...... Life is definitely good!
Thank you Hickok45 for sharing first shots fired with us !
Congratulations and mahalo for sharing hickok45

"Yeah - if you don't think this is a pretty cool revolver, yeah what's wrong with you??" Classic Mr. HIckok45. Awesomeness!

So beautiful
I own a 6” blued python made in 1981 same year I was born as well. Absolutely stunning firearms
I recently inherited a new in box Smith and Wesson .38 Chiefs Special (pre model 36), from 1952. It's so nice, but I can't bring myself holster it, and carry it. I don't want to mess it up. The gun came with the original box of ammo, with only ten rounds missing. Thanks for the video guys, be well.
