i dont know if its since been remedied, but i recall early reports of cylinders failing to rotate.
no hands on experience with the Pythons....but assuming the quality is on par with the Cobras, it should be a decent revolver......dunno if its $2,000 decent.....but theres not really a whole lot on the market right now in that $1,500-2,000 price range to compare it to.
but if it were me, ide take that $2K and buy a pre-lock SW 19
