To answer the question I'll ask a question.

How many M27's have you seen out of time?

How many Pythons?

End of story for me anyway. Have owned both in the past and not to rain on anyone's parade but...the Smith is the MUCH more durable product and I also think it's the shooter, not the gun, as far as accuracy goes.

Just my .02. YMMV, and almost certainly will.

I'd bet my M-27 that more Pythons have been hurt by rapid dry firing , feeling that super slick action , and boneheaded attempts at home gunsmithing , than have been hurt by honest use.
