Thinking more about your Python; I've seen several new Pythons do the same as your's. One thing which might cause this to happen is when metal shavings or foreign matter gets into the lock work. Removing the side plate will tell more. Another is when the crane retaining screw backs out of the frame or the extractor rod becomes loose. You really need to check it out because these revolvers were made for PPC right out of the box.
