From what I have heard over the years is that the Colt Python has a delicate mechanism. I confess I have never owned one but I have had the opportunity to shoot them on several occasions. With two of them that I handled I was able to push the hammer forward after it was cocked without touching the trigger. The gun being empty of course.The cylinder has only one locking point as opposed to two on a S&W or three on Ruger revolvers like the old S&W Triple Locks. It was advised to limit the diet of heavy .357 loads in the Python.
They did shoot nicely and had good triggers but I'm happy to stick with my Rugers and S&W revolvers. Seeing how much they are worth today I wish I would have bought a few as investments.
