They seem to be selling well and your dislike of two features is the first complaint I’ve read about them. Maybe you are in the minority.The triggerguard looks like the gun has been dropped, and it bent IN, hardly allowing for more room in front of the trigger. The barrel could have been tapered in a MUCH more pleasing manner.
This is not exactly true. Even though I own this Korth which is neither of the things mentioned above, I will still eventually buy a new model Python. I think that a very few guns had some problems and a lot of people jumped on Colt pretty hard about it, so they just don't want to realize that it is a pretty nice revolver. Let them moan about it alll they want that will make it easier to find when I get around to buying one.Your getting MIM and poor QC any which way you go so might as well roll the dice on one you like! Too bad but maybe true

They could DLC coat a Stainless model and call it the Black Mamba. I'd buy it.I own three and love them all. That said, I wish they'd given them new names. I can see "Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Rattler, Coral Snake, and others. Alas I was not consulted.
Now that my KC works right I have nothing negative to say. Not one complaint
I actually prefer the front sight blade like what is on my mid 70’s Cobra and Detective Special. The fiber optic front sight on the new ones probably has more utility though.It seems I have been in the minority for quite some time now.
The Python is less expensive than some of the S&W Performance Center Revolvers.
nothing "wrong" with the newer snake guns... they are just "snake guns" in name only- they are not hand fitted etc. they may be better in some respects but they are riding on the old names and similar looks to get them through... two different animals in my eyes...
I am not sure they are disliked so much as not fully trusted. Hickock45 is probably the most watched and trusted guntuber and he had an issue with what was likely one of the first ones off the production line. I think pretty much all revolver aficionados want to see a Anaconda.
