He also said that S&W's trigger reset was much typically stronger and superior to the new Python.

So....I'm wondering if HK45's (and bubba's) cylinder rotation failures may have been caused by incomplete trigger resets. I've not handled one of the new Pythons, I've got no clue regarding their internal design, and I'm certainly not disparaging HK45's pistol acumen, but this possibility kind of makes sense to me...
Re-watch Hicock45's videos and you'll see very clearly he isn't short-stroking -- in fact, at one point his finger isn't even touching the trigger and he's cocking the hammer repeatedly but the cylinder doesn't move.
