Sorry to hear 'bout your Python's SA pull, I've only shot one and for me they are/were a dream gun. Based on feedback here on the Campfire, I wouldn't buy one of the new ones.
Tom I wouldn't let the ol' campfire naysayers run ya' off one. I have a new Python and Anaconda, and the trigger pulls on both are more than acceptable.
I don't have my new Anaconda yet but me and the 2 friends I shoot with have our Pythons, SA trigger pull ranges from 6lb 3oz to 6lb 8oz on the 3 revolvers.
For a $1500 revolver a 6 1/2lb trigger might be more than acceptable to you but is completely unacceptable to me...............mine is at the gunsmith right now getting fixed.
In the meantime I will keep shooting my trusty 686
