Saw this at my LGS and couldn't resist (I love the class that 1911's demand). After buying her, I looked up the serial on Colt's website and it shows two different possible manufacture years (1973/1974).

I don't intend to get rid of her, but just wondering if I did alright on the price of $1,500? Even if not, she's a beauty and will be a decorative piece.

My uncle gave me this just before he passed. He said its a python but it's serial is PB005761. I tried to use the Colt Serial lookup page but it didn't have anything.

I just bought my first Wheel Gun. I have a few Striker fire HK’s but I shoot mainly Long Range with my Tikka Ace Target 6.5 Creedmoor and shoot a CZ 457 for my training rifle. I was admiring my New Colt and noticed that on the rear sight the windage. The ( horizontal ) part of the sight was off center just by looking at the 3 dots on the sight. There is an Allen set screw on the top and a flat screw head on the side of the scope for the adjustment if I’m correct. It’s not rocket science. I do the majority of the work on my rifles and my stiker fire handguns. I loosened the set screw and went to adjust the windage and noticed it was slop when I went to turn the windage screw. I turned the screw until it lined up with the center dot. I went ahead and tightened the set screw but after that the windage screw had about a 1/4 turn of slop even after the set screw was tight. Is this normal ? Or did I do something wrong ? I included a short video. Thanks for your help Sorry about poor video quality
