RufusG, I'm sure someone else may love the grooved trigger, not a major issue for me, easily fixed. as for the single action trigger pull, I believe that is due to light hammer strikes/failure to fire with some brands of ammo in the early production Pythons and Colts fix for that adding a heavier spring. As soon as some pistolsmiths get some experience on the new Pythons I'll be getting a trigger job as I do with any new revolver. That said I'm still very pleased with my new revolver and like the changes Colt made in beefing up the frame and simplifying the trigger system. Others may feel different and to each their own.
