I wish I had pictures of it. I deleted them all off my server several years ago. I haven't even owned it since 2015 or 16. It's long gone. Same with my MPX.
Most of the stuff I still own is here... Index of /marc/Gun_Stuff
Mine was an SBR with a folder and MAGPUL angled fore grip.

Colt Python...and I can’t shot worth a crap with it. Anyone have any suggestions on who to pay attention to on the ol’ interwebs?

Very nice. What year production?
Mag lula...yes it is a must
As a python owner, along with several other Colts a couple suggestions would be to dry fire a little daily. If you are used to shooting S&W or Ruger revolvers the Colt trigger tends to feel much heavier.
If you are used to auto pistols, again the trigger is quite a bit different. Dry firing a few minutes every evening will make a world of difference in accuracy and more consistent groups and help break in the action of the revolver.
Thanks for that. Any suggestions on grip placement when shooting ? I can carve the center out of a target with semi automatic pistols, but I’m all over with a revolver. I know it’s mainly due to lack of shooting them but all pointers are appreciated.

Crossing the thumbs behind the hammer versus stacking them like you would with an auto. The stocks on Pythons are pretty big so definitely take a little getting used to whether your shooting most double stack autos or single stack.
Dry firing it double action really will work that out if you do it consistently. When I used to do some competition stuff I’d shoot six strong hand, then six weak hand double action while dry firing back and forth...it does work.
I’d say start out doing a few, next evening a few more, eventually up to maybe 10-20 sets an evening....it’ll make a huge difference at the range.

If that’s brand new you may want to disassemble it and clean then lubricate it with a high quality synthetic lube...I’ve used some Tetra as well as other lubes for this. If you aren’t experienced with revolver disassembly then don’t do this....you can try some spray in lube into the action, just a bit. Pythons are the slickest action you’ll find short of a Korth, but are all stainless which can gall if not lubed. * Current production Pythons are all stainless I should have said.

Thanks for that info... I need to do some work to my Scorpion.. I'll be checking this stuff out. I took it to the range right before ammo prices got crazy and shot it a few times, I let my friends 16 year old shoot it most of the time that day so I don't have much time with it. Letting my buddy's son have fun was enough for me.
I'm diggin' your Aero sbr, I'm debating buying a SBR or getting an AR pistol. I just don't know if I want to deal with the SBR paperwork. I did silencer paperwork on 2 silencers at the same time plus a trust and it was a nightmare because the shop that did my transfers didn't really help much with the paperwork, they sent me home without filling out all of their stuff.
Thanks for those tips. I don't own a revolver yet due to lack of ammunition, but a .357 is on my 'want' list, with the Python at the top.
Pythons are awesome, and in what I consider the “Keeper” category so if you get one I don’t think you’ll regret it....and they hold their value very well.
That being said S&W’s are also typically excellent pieces at a much lower price point (still not cheap) hard to go wrong with them either.
Colt Trooper MK III’s are in similar price range as S&W’s and also excellent piece’s.
Revolvers in general high really gone up in price over the last few years, I think auto’s became so popular a lot of people got out of them completely, which made them very inexpensive for a time. Now there seems to be a rediscovery or re ignition of interest in wheel guns.

Don’t sleep on the Ruger GP100. Im about to pull the trigger on one after a 6 month search. Had one when I was younger and should’ve never gave it up
I agree, older security six’s and GP100’s are very strong, typically accurate pieces. I don’t think I’ve ever tried one that was out of time, they aren’t quite as fast for speed work like plate shooting as the trigger doesn’t follow the finger on rebound as fast as a Smith’s, or Colt’s. For all other uses they are an excellent choice.
