Tinker sent these pics and a description of a project he worked on .. very cool work and workmanship..

Below is Tinkers description per the text message..

This is a Python-themed full custom-to-death Colt Commando

We rebored a Python barrel and rebored the Commando cylinder for 41 Special

The frame was extensively welded and machined (and filed and drawn and grained...) to a slightly scaled-down version of the Python.

Ultra cool.
We named it Sidewinder.
See the images, showing the progression from welded Commando to the Python contours.

Really fun project.
I figured you would get a kick out of it.
Shared this with you as I'd seen your posting of the Python article.
