- Try asking around. Your local FFL can find you a dealer if he looks
- hard enough. The only potential problem I can see that you might have
- is if Colt has just stopped making the Python in 8" BSTS. Don't think
- they have, but I know they have really slowed production on a lot of
- their guns, particularly the Python and Anaconda. Seems wholesalers
- don't like to keep big ticket items in inventory that rarley sell. I
- tried to find one of those "Ultimate Pyhtons" a few years ago,
- or what ever they were. Supposed to come in a rosewood box, some
- different grips, all kinds of goodies. Marched down to my local
- dealer and he tried for 8 months to find one, but never could.
- Finally I called Colt and they said the'd be happy to put me on a
- waiting list, but that they couldn't gurantee when the gun would be
- built and shipped. And they wanted a downpayment. Nope. Not until I
- see the gun.....
