I figured they'd sh1t the bed again... Hoping against it, but knowing their track record it was too easy, but I did always want to own a NEW Python. I'm not surprised by the 'personality' they used to explain their inadequacies, it seems they are identical.

Let’s see, double-action revolver...pretty mature design concept, companies (including Colt) have been making them to function pretty much flawlessly for well over 100 years, yet, in the age of solid- modeling software and CNC machining, the “original” revolver company resurrects a legacy design, tries to improve it, sells it for twice what a good, solid functional DA revolver from one of their competitors can be had for, and has to post a video explaining why it doesn’t work. What’s wrong with this picture?

This latest video is quite a turnaround from their SHOT show video where the Colt guy said that they had only two guns returned with claimed mechanical defects and Colt couldn't replicate the problem.
(I also read where a blogger said the Python he shot on range day started acting up (cylinder not rotating) after 7 shots--and he was shooting Colt National Match ammo provided by Colt.)

I'm encouraged. Hopefully a little screw tightening and some Loctite solves the rotation issue.
