Oh, I know, especially in this day and age, selling to aging boomers. Just look at the Mustang, Camero, and Challenger.
That said, look at how vastly improved those reintroductions are over their namesakes. Granted, it would be impossible under today's law to build and sell a '67 Camero, and firearms suffer no such regulation.
So, I have to wonder - had Colt decided to introduce a markedly improved revolver and call it a "Python", or an "Anaconda", what their reception would have been. They did make
some improvements, so they did take some license, but I wonder just how far they could have gone. Shooters are a tough bunch. Could have been anything from "wow, that's a much better, more modern Python" to "that's not a Python".
