by acquiring a mint 4" Colt Python; an original, not one of the current crop.
Got it for less than half of what I'd have paid for a 6" Python in similar condition, and they go for $4000+ CDN.
Why? Because in Kanuckistan, anything with a 4" or less barrel is classified as a "Prohibited Weapon" and you have to be a licenced/"grandfathered" owner with a 12(6) classification. Not many of us so qualified.
That makes it a "shooter" regardless of condition. Hopefully it will not have the Colt "stacking" DA trigger pull.
