I've got "statistical clustering" tatooed all over my forehead but...
I bought 3 Pythons in the last year and two sucked. One got traded, the remaining one was determined to be irreparable (just got the phone call today).
Grant Cunningham isn't accepting new work for the time being.
3 Pythons, 1 runs. Clearly this isn't normal but I'd definitely stay clear of any discontinued, orphaned or otherwise abandoned firearm if you're going to rely on it. They do require upkeep and the number of 'smiths you can trust has just been reduced. Frankly, I have no clue where I can send my problem child Python - it's as likely to get its frame flame cut as anything else.
My 686 has offered no grief, and the GP-100 will run forever. Either of these would be my choice.
