No, you weren't ripped off.

Look carefully at the revolver, especially the barrel. Are there any marks that tell you who did the custom work?

If a revolver can be traced to certain 'smiths, it's worth a premium, possibly FAR more than you paid for it.

I've looked all over that gun for some sort of mark. I will look again. Thanks again!

That's the way it was meant to be!

Not being negative, but, honestly, it kind of makes my head hurt everytime I look at that square barrel.....

Enjoy it! Good shooting!

It was so great to shoot that I feel in love. So accurate. That square barrel is a pisser to look at, but I'll get over it.

It shot great. I hated that he barrel was changed, then I shot I and was six for six on the plates from ten yards.

What a great gun. Now I need to shoot more .357.

With a pure Ivory white grip I would be an awesome gun

So I just purchased this Colt Python. Serial number has it at early 70's. The barrel was switched out for competitive shooting. I love the look of this thing and running to the range to go shoot it. I paid $800 for the gun plus some ammo. I am planning on putting ivory grips on it, for the look.

Question, was I ripped off?

There is a little rust, but the gun looks great. I just wish the original barrel was on the gun.
