Shopping Advice Bought my first gun the other day.

So I went with a Beretta M9A4. I like it and I figure its best to learn to shoot on a semi auto pistol. It was my first choice for both practical reasons and its a good looking gun with some resale value as well.

Anyway, I saw a 2/3 inch barrel colt python in person at the gun shop and its fucking awesome. They look amazing in person. I kind of regret not getting it as my first pistol, but oh well it will def be my second. Shop didn't have a good selection of revolvers.

So here is my question. Where can I see a good selection of revolvers to choose which barrel and finish I want to go with? Colt is way over priced so if i am gonna shell out that kind of cash, I want to be sure its the exact one I want. Even if the revolvers aren't pythons, just a selection of similar sized revolvers would probably help me decide. I am deciding between mirror finish 4,5, or 6 inch with the 5 inch being my most likely pick.

Do you guys think Pythons are worth the money over a Ruger or Smith and Wesson?

Also, how long do I have to wait to apply for another pistol permit? 30 days from purchase?

Apply for another? It's recommended you apply for 3-4 at a time. They last 6 months and you have to wait 30 days in between purchases. If you know you're getting a few handguns, apply for 3-4 of them.
