This is consistent with my suggestion of Pepper Spray.Make sure your dogs are nowhere near, and give them a shot of this: Dogs are pretty smart... I doubt if they'll come back around no matter how stupid their owners are..
BTW--this stuff really will stop bears (usually)
Dear ol' Dad as a semi-rural county dweller with 5 acre lots had two neighbor dogs come over, corner, and kill their cat. He was furious and instead of stealth....walked straight into the front door of the owners house with a .357 Magnum Colt Python (a visual statement unto itself) and announced to the wide-eyed resident, "Your dogs killed my cat...and I'm going to kill them. I just wanted you to know."
i imagine so. i keep my Python in the safe since it's something Dad left me when i passed away.
My Python and Anaconda are both in the safe right now. If I really wanted to make a statement like Iggy's Dad did, the Anaconda (.44 mag) would make a little louder/larger one.
So, me adding that he got it for $250 virtually new from his brother the cop in Salinas in the 80's probably won't make you feel much better.
Janitor grade 10% ammonia in a syringe is pretty good and then there's
I bought my first Python in 1974 from the trust fund beneficiary room mate of a friend in Reno. We were talking about guns when the room mate mentions he has a Python and may want to sell it. I asked how much and he fetched it from his bedroom. He said he wanted a smaller handgun that would fit in his sports car glove box, so he offered that we might do a trade -- I buy him the smaller gun of his choice and he gives me the Python. We went to the gun shop, he picked out a new Colt Cobra (.38 Spl.), I paid the $150 OTD cost for it and he gave me the Python with sales receipt right there. I was most appreciative that the Gun Shop owner never said what he may have thought of a Cobra for Python straight trade. :lol:So, me adding that he got it for $250 virtually new from his brother the cop in Salinas in the 80's probably won't make you feel much better.

But I apparently learned nothing from any of that.
Four years later, mid divorce and needing money, I put it in the classifieds for $150 while I was house sitting for my Mom in L.A. (no transfer hoops to jump through back then). First call was before 7 am and I sold it to that guy by 7:30 am. I got roughly 20 more calls before noon, at which time I left for the day (and we didn't have answering machines back then). I KNEW I'd F'ed up before the end of the day, and there is nothing that has EVER made me feel better about that sale in the intervening years -- certainly NOT what has happened to their prices since they are no longer made (the first ones were made in '55 and a last, single 50 year commemorative Python was made in 2005). My current Python wasn't cheap, is Stainless Steel (first offered in SS by Colt in 1982) and my Anaconda is also Stainless (all Colt Anacondas are SS).
Colt is talking about reintroducing double action revolvers, but the Python is not likely to be produced again. There is probably no way that they could sell them for the price that would be required to make money off it for all that goes into this finest of all handguns, even with CNC machines making many of the parts.
Iggy -- I hope you got yourself on the will for that Python. I'm never selling mine.
Since I assisted so mightily in the hijack, and since carver's problem has temporarily run out of new posting fodder, I'll continue the hijack.Don't want to start a gun argument but you guys already hijacked the thread. I love my Colt 1911 but for a DA revolver I prefer the Model 27 or 28 S&W over the Colt Python. I have a python that I won't sell Just cause they aren't made but I like the trigger better on the Smith. YMMV
Indeed. Seems like I may not be the only one who has made regrettable selling decisions. (But I can back my superior stupidity claim with tales of my '66 Telecaster sale or the trade-in of my '67 Mustang Fastback for a '73 Ford Pinto.)
