I wouldn't call the python weak, but let's say not as reliable as some other loose guns. There are mechanical trade offs for tight tolerances, one of the reasons why some of the best battle weapons are a bit loose. Now it may be a great gun, and great looking but obviously all the fanboys out there were not buying them. Otherwise they would still make them, hey I'd like a brand new Corvair but I'm not willing to pay for it. If the market could sustain the Python it would still be in production. From what I have gleaned from these posts it is the Pythons finish that sets it apart, not any mechanical advantages. Believe me I have appreciated this discussion with all of you, but the purchase has been made.
