I think (or maybe I hope? but hope isn't the right word... since I don't desire a Python) that if, in the future, say the next 3-5-7 years, Colt should happen to actually start production on a double action revolver and they name it
Python, I think it may soften the wild market we've been seeing for Colt snake revolvers.
Yes, of course, before you run to the REPLY button, they won't be the same and genuine enthusiasts and hobbyists will still desire a genuine Python as they always have. But I believe that a large portion of the gun-buying public won't recognize a Colt Python as an "out of production (seemingly forever) revolver" anymore. Not so much at first, but that idea will gain momentum over some years.
If Colt re-introduces the Python, ten years in to production the mystique and crazy market that we have all witnessed in recent years will have, in my opinion, settled. Not saying prices will "drop" (unlikely as the value of our money drops...) but the meteoric rise in collector "value" on the guns will finally normalize and maybe we'll have less eyeball-popping snake gun market volatility.
Or not.
