All the other dealers were shying away from it but I was looking at if for what it was, an outstanding quality of work. The bluing, markings, barrel re-bore (?) were impeccable. All for only about a 20% mark up from what a used Python was running at the time.

Not many folks know about it, and I held one! Colt themselves did run some .41 Magnums and did away with them. They also made a couple .400 Colt Magnums. I had a chance to buy a single .400 Colt Magnum cartridge too, at a show, for about $50!
