We work on a lot of different revolvers at the shop.
I see the investment angle of buying a Python, but really there's a lot of other very interesting and accurate Colt revolvers out there trading hands from day to day. With a proper Linear Action Job, the pathway to the magical trigger is just a bit of money and time away for most of them.
My Officers Model Heavy Barrel in 32 is amazing, and it's a classic time machine. The Police Positive Special Target guns are fantastic.
I get the thrill of the chase etc, but I can't quite catch the Python fever. Cool, but not cool to the level of the contemporary market crazy pricing.

The best buys in the DA market now are older Colts like the OMM, OMT, PPST, and similar from that era- 1920-1960s. The 3-5-7 is usually a great buy.
I'm interested in a new Python, but only if there's room in the cylinder to become a 10mm or 41 special.

That was a Commando before we started working on it It's a 41 Special Cool gun I've looked at a couple of blemish New Pythons with thoughts of going 41 Special, but haven't had the time to fit another personal project on the dance card

Is that where the 41 Python barrel I sold Jack ended up?

I never shot a python that good or any gun for that matter. When my first son was born 13 years ago I stopped messing with the pythons and ordered a very personal presentation case for him. He gets these and others when he is on his own. Hopefully he can enjoy them when I’m gone. Oh gosh I am jealous. Shoot them WITH him. Let him know what they mean to you and why you want to pass them down. Lay in a good amount of sentiment and let him say "My Father, Grandfather, whatever, used to take me shooting with these. Dont let these become an obscure inheritance. Make memories and put your soul into those moments. Nothing to be jealous about. We all got our own treasures, that’s gun guys. He has shooters from the 60’s and mid 70’s to choose from, best era for revolvers in my opinion, has high end 1911s as well. My boy prefers SA’s, shot FA 97 in 22 cal, and loves it. recently asked me if he can spec out his own. Should have a FA 97 in 357 mag from First Stop by June or July. Post pic when it arrives. He ordered a beauty.

Make memories and put your soul into those moments. That really speaks to the core of it. Way too many of these treasures will turn into things if not personalized before they are passed on. They will turn into "I inherited this ,,,,what's it worth?" And so much will be lost.

Also make it clear to him that he is to shoot them with his children and another generation of use and care will be put into them. Love them, use them, pass them on. Wait, do I mean the kids or the weapons. I dont know. I get confused. LOL.
