Yea the cobra certainly ain't no python, but of course, it's not intended to be. Hard to get a better break than the old "glass rod" feel of the python. As nice as the cobra and anaconda look, and they are beautiful, I find the hammer fall to be clunky. When I dry fire them free hand for practice, the hammer strike moves my sight picture. Even from a rest they don't seem to be as accurate as my Smiths. They're nice revolvers for sure, but I wouldn't give today's prices for one.
I used to use the thumb drag test when evaluating revolvers as a young man. I missed a lot of good deals before I quit letting that test make up my mind.
