I've had four Pythons over the last 35 years, nine or so N-frame Smiths (four of which stayed). A 6.5" M29 needed a factory smoothing job, and was perfect thereafter. None required for the rest, all of which I preferred to any of the Pythons (four and six inch) for both action and feel.
The Colt action (Python inherited from the Officer's Model Match) is nice and smooth, but I find the heaavier stacking of the Colt actions an impediment to accurate and fast double action shooting.

Disagree completely on the Colt double action pull. Not a matter of smoothness, but I can't stand the increased loading of the pull as it approaches letoff. I much prefer the Smith mechanism which doesn't have this problem; the Smiths shoot quicker and more accurately for me. Maybe this one was tuned. I don't know. It did not load and stayed smooth and consistant thoughout the trigger squeeze.

The two that I had, and should have kept, also did not load up. Very consistent and light throught the pull in DA mode.
