  • Shooting and discussing a set of the Classic Colt Python Snake Eyes revolvers. These are number 195 out of 500, made in 1989. As mentioned in the video, you'll soon be able to find these at Bud's website in the NRA Firearms for Freedom Foundation auction. If you're in Houston at the NRA Annual Meeting exhibits, you might seem the set there on display.

    WOW ! I've only ever seen these in books and I mistakenly thought that I'd never ever see a set of these being used for their intended purpose (shooting) as they are such a sort after collectable item that most owners would keep them as 'Safe Queens'. It's great to see them in action, doing what they're designed to do, kudos to you Hickok for putting them through their paces buddy.
    Whoever buys them is going to be very happy, contributing to a worthwhile cause and coming out the other side owning such a beautiful pair of revolvers, even if it will cost them a small fortune (as I can't see these selling cheaply).

    Not a set, but I had one just like that (with standard, small, factory walnut stocks) in really nice shape. I bought it used for about $650.00 back before the Python madness hit, and sold it for $1,800.00 when prices went nuts. Liked it a lot, but not enough to resist the prices they were getting. Admittedly, now that the money is long since spent, I'm somewhat regretting having sold it.

    I loved the looks of the Pythons back in the day. I have always been a Smith & Wesson guy, but wanted a Python. A colleague of mine had a stainless 4 inch and let me try it out at the range one day. It was a terrible disappointment for me as the grip hurt my hand with every shot. It wasn’t the caliber, as I have .41 magnum and .44 magnum handguns that I shoot with no issues. But those wooden grips were miserable for me. I later got an Anaconda that I loved, and it caused me no issues even though the grip was a little thin for my taste. I would have to say that folks should try them out if possible before they buy them. Of course, nowadays, I don’t believe anyone would shoot theirs, as they are so collectible.
