Maybe but when I was a kid and picked up a gun mag and looked at the cover and saw a long barrel Colt Python with that vent rib on top it looked like a piece of jewelry. I mean that SOB was sexy if a gun could ever be sexy. That goes double for the stainless jobs.
Oh, they are definitely sexy looking. Love the Royal Blue finish. That's what mine had and it had quite a bit of holster wear by the time I sold it. I got it NIB for $259 and sold it several years later for over $800.
