This little pistol has me over my head. Everything I read says Professional Models are Mark VIs. But here it is: a Mark I marked Professional Model, right above the serial number. How come? As you can see, it is an early, four digit serial number. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Think again! :D Sorry for the lousy, nighttime pic, but I just had to share this beautiful, tiny Pocket Positive that is staying with me for a while so I can fit a new bolt. I wonder what would happen if someone decided to make a modern version.

Disclaimer: This is purely anecdotal. I am not advising you to do as I did. If you do and ruin your first year Python, it's all your fault. If you follow my instructions and your revolver turns into a neutron grenade, explodes and extinguishes all life in the planet, it will be your fault- not...

I'm having a very hard time trying to get those two screws out. I ground two tips that fit the screws very well (at least the lower one), and tried every trick I know: -Penetrating oil. -Tapping them with a bronze punch. -Freezing the gun. -Soaking for two days in more penetrating oil. And...

Anyone can tell anything from this lousy picture? It is the only one I have. :confused:

Well, that must mean something for me, as I find that three of my favorite revolvers were made in 1957, 1958, and 1959: 1957 Cobra has the smoothest action I've ever experienced in a snubby. It is a joy to shoot. 1958 M17 3T, becuase it makes it VERY hard to miss what you're shooting at...

Boy, was I happy when I got my Jan '77 issue of American Handgunner. 3 articles about the Python by Mas Ayoob! The most interesting to me was the one about the first Python. :D BTW, can any of the oldtimers tell me what grips are those on the first pic? Images removed as they violate TFL's...

Well, improved I frame actually, but I am happy about it. I frames are unheard of in my neck of the woods, so I sprang at the opportunity. It is a Model 30 no dash, with a lot of aesthetical imperfections, but action is nice as can be. I'd call it mechanically new. Not the K32 I was looking...

Because I took my old friend the six-inch Python to the range. I am a mediocre pistol shoot at best, but with this revolver even I can shoot some very nice groups. Load it with wadcutters, and it thinks it is a match pistol or something! Well, I guess I just wanted to share a happy moment :D

Recently, I brought a really weird pistol: an Unique DES 69: Being a nut for old match guns, I've always wanted one, but had never even seen one in the flesh before I got mine. First thing I did was taking the muzzle weight off, as I dislike front-heavy handguns. That, and it looks way cooler...

So I want to install a patridge front sight on my six inch Python. Easy enough, isn't it it? Well, it began in fine fashion indeed: take the proper starter punch, both pins start drifting OK towards my right... and then they stopped, just flush with the rib. :eek: And I haven't been able to...

Hi, and please forgive the lousy picture... it is the only one I have. I've been offered this NS in .44 Russian, and I am very tempted. I know nothing about them, but I'd like to pic your brains about it. I my ignorance, I think that barrel could be 8" instead of 7.5"? And the front sight looks...
