I guess we'll have to see if this is really a Python or just a new Cobra with the word Python stamped on it.
Part of me really wants to see Colt do it right.

Those python at gart sports around 1994 was only 600.
Its been 26 years already.
By doing "rule of idiot 20"
1200 x 4% compound price increase for 6yrs
I think $1499 is about right.
According to the Westegg Inflation Calculator: What cost $600 in 1994 would cost $1026.19 in 2018. (18 is the latest year you can enter in the calculator).Quote:

Also, how many of you geeks saw the title and thought "3.8.1 was just released, what do you mean 'coming back' "?

For 1500 now, someone can get a real nice firearms.
as for 1500 relative to popular inflation and/or price indicies:
just doing 3.5% straight 26yrs.
(without doing 3.5 for 20, and 4% for rest of 6yrs as original post due increase in hyper money supply, etc)

ETA: I wonder what will happen to older Colt Python in the market right now.
Back in the early eighties I bought a stainless Python with a 6" bbl used, in like new conditon for $350.00. Sold it for the same price. Wish I had not sold it.
