My LGS has one on of the new Pythons on the shelf and I got to handle it today (sadly it’s just for display, not for sale).
I Dry fired it and the action is waaaay more smooth than my 6” 1984 vintage Python.
Double action was slick as greased glass and the single action pull broke at about (what I’d estimate) was 2.5 pounds.
It’s a very attractive revolver that from a distance “favors” the Python but once you get your hands on it you’ll see/know the difference.
In my estimation (based on a sample of one) its a little beefier than the Pythons of old (which isn’t a bad thing).
The Cylinder, frame and grips all felt heftier but I wouldn’t swear on a bible that they were.
My overall impression was very favorable, in fact so favorable that I ordered one (store owner said he had 15 on order and 8 were spoken for).
I asked them to get me one with a 4.25” barrel but I may go back and change that to a 6 inch.
