My late friend the crack shot said the Python was more accurate with Specials but the Dan Wesson was the most accurate Magnum he had seen. Which made them popular for IHMSA Revolver division. A sixgun at 200 meters is a challenge.
I saw a picture of the Pietta clone of Python. As best as could be told, it was to the original design.
Uberti made copies of D frame Colts at one time, including one pretty close to a Diamondback. Jan Stevenson said they were not the equal of a good Colt, but were better than a "Friday Afternoon" Colt. Decent quality, more consistent than Colt.

Alleged photo of the new Python
Grip fit is typical of outsourced revolver grips; they’re likely made by Altamont for Colt. The rest of the gun looks OK but I’d love to see closeups of the frame/crane fit, barrel/cylinder gap and the amount of space between the sides of the hammer and the hammer channel in the frame. All are places where inferior quality control will be evident.

Comparing it to the old Python, “In my opinion, this is a much better gun.”

Me too. It sounds like they've actually listened to shooters on this one. I'll wait until reports from users come in, especially since $1500 means something(s) would have to go.
Me three. There’s a 4” local to me (70s era I’m told), but I want a shooter
