I sure hope so, Vash. I sold my last one over 20 years ago before they started to skyrocket in value, and now I'm reluctant to lay out the cash for a used one. The one I sold was a late 1970's manufacture and, to be honest, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

I've since handled and fired (but have not owned) earlier examples, and having done that, I can see where they built their reputation. The problem is, though, those early Pythons demand a premium. Not quite early Peacemaker money, but a fair chunk of change nonetheless. If I'm spending that kind of money on a wheelgun, I would prefer it to be a single action. Now if they started producing them again at about the price of the new SAA, with the same level of quality, I would be all over one. We'll have to wait and see.
