I'd say to keep the Python forever, it's an Heirloom pistol that should be handed down for generations. (IMHO)Last time around it was a question of another 1911 in favor of selling the Python, and the addition of a SAA was an afterthought.
Mostly feeling bad about how much money I have tied into things that go boom, or assist in making things go boom.What mad regulation is there against owning both?
Well, sell the wife and buy a SAA. You'll be money ahead in the long run because the things that go "boom-boom" (when they feel like it or don't have a "headache") are more expensive anyway.Mostly feeling bad about how much money I have tied into things that go boom, or assist in making things go boom.
I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon in virtually all the states.Well, sell the wife and buy a SAA. You'll be money ahead in the long run because the things that go "boom-boom" (when they feel like it or don't have a "headache") are more expensive anyway.

Thing about the SAA is there is so many directions to go with it.
Good choice, I looked on gunbroker to see of any were available in Oregon but not much to choose from. Beautiful nickle 44-40 in 4.75 in McMinnville.4.75".
You do know you just burst the bubble on those of us that collect junk? I can see your point though. My sons who are now in their 30's, are not in the least interested, and never have been, in really old cars and neither have I. Nor does a 18th or 19th century firearm in a museum, I barely glance at them.there is an interesting thought exercise here.
"at what point will SAAs and Pythons become less interesting and collectible?"
here's the thinking: handguns like that are more attractive to older demographics, to whom they had relevance and meaning.
for example, when i was growing up, the cool cops had Colt Troopers, and i wanted one so bad.
my cowboy heroes has sweet lever guns and i needed a 94.
these firearms aren't relevant to youth as they once were. i will draw the parallels to car collecting. as japanese sporty cars from the 80's and 90's are skyrocketing in value. while antique motorcars, and 50s hot rods are languishing.
thoughts?
At this point, my collection pieces are moving towards the more expensive side of things, so I'm more inclined towards the originals. My cheapest gun at this point is a model 12, and the next is a Langdon Beretta.I don't think anyone else can answer this question because it depends on what you want out of a gun. Fe if you want to scratch the four click single action itch you can do it with a uberti/cimmaron clone for a fraction of the cost. Or if just for play the .22/22 mag heritage pistols have 4 click SAA action and cost $89 for 6.5" after current rebate.
45LC ammo is spendy but fortunately you don't go through as many rounds with slow to load revolvers. Been shooting 45 LC out of my uberti 1858 black powder revolver and I like it. Can add a stock to it if shooting black powder too.

Fwiw if it were me I would browse Uberti and cimarron's catalog for the gazillion different SAA clones they have. Something there for every taste in size, finish etc.
