Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this DESIRABLE double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Custom Shop Anaconda!
According to the Factory Colt Archives Letter, this Colt Custom Anaconda Revolver was shipped as a documented custom-order .44 Magnum / .44 Special revolver with a 6-inch Mag-Na-Ported barrel, stainless finish, and Pachmayr stocks. The letter further confirms several desirable factory custom features, including a custom tuned action, Ellison rear sight, and a contoured trigger that was polished smooth and left non-serrated. Shipped on March 10, 1993, to Town Police Supply of Collinsville, Virginia, this revolver is especially notable as a one-gun shipment, adding meaningful collector interest and documentation. With its factory-confirmed Custom Shop features, powerful .44 Magnum chambering, stainless construction, and single-gun shipment status, this Anaconda stands out as a scarce and well-documented example from one of Colt’s most collectible modern double-action revolver lines.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1990, the Colt Anaconda is a large frame double-action revolver featuring a full length under-barrel ejection-rod lug and six round cylinder, designed and produced by the Colt's Manufacturing Company. Chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum and .45 Colt centerfire ammunition cartridges, the Anaconda marked the Hartford, Connecticut firm’s first foray into the popular large-bore Magnum pistol market. Built on a new and heavier ‘AA’ frame, the Anaconda was brought out to compete with .44 Magnum contemporaries such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29, the Sturm, Ruger & Co. Redhawk and Blackhawk, and the Dan Wesson Firearms Model 44. Considering that many of these models had been marketed and sold for fully 35 years upon its introduction, the Anaconda was a very late entry into the large-bore handgun market.

Unlike most other pistols introduced in the 1980s and 1990s, the Anaconda was never offered with a carbon steel blued finish, but was available only in stainless steel. When originally introduced Anacondas were plagued with poor accuracy, but changes to the barrels quickly corrected the problems to the point that Colt billed its new pistol as among the most accurate .44 Magnum revolvers in production. Anaconda revolvers were primarily marketed for sport enthusiast shooters and hunters, as they are too large for law enforcement use by small-framed male and female officers or concealed-carry. Colt firearms announced the discontinuation of the Anaconda and many other double-action revolver models in October 1999, although made-to-order limited production versions of the gun continued to be available from the Colt custom gun shop until approximately 2003.
