*SOLD* 1992 Colt Anaconda .44 Mag Stainless 4" -CLASSIC BIG BORE SNAKE- Stunning

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

In 1942, Colt discontinued its large-frame double-action revolver, the New Service. Colt would not build another large-frame model until 1990 when it introduced the Colt Anaconda. The Anaconda was a stainless steel revolver based on the proven King Cobra revolver design, using a transfer bar ignition-safety action. The Anaconda was designed for unlimited use of .44 Magnum ammo and had a massive forged frame and cylinder heat treatment to provide maximum strength. It was chambered in the .44 Magnum and the .45 Long Colt. Barrel lengths were 4", 5" (Rare and not cataloged), 6", and 8". Magna-porting for the barrel was offered on some versions. Unusually, the right side of the barrel was marked "Double Action Revolver" and the usual "Colt's P.T.F.A. Mfg Co. Hartford Conn. USA" on some models, and ".44 Magnum Cartridge" and "Colt's P.T.F.A. Mfg Co. Hartford Conn. USA," on other models. Finishes were satin stainless matte finish, bright polish stainless on some models, and in Realtree Camouflage. The Anaconda was produced from 1990 to 1999, then reintroduced from 2002 to 2006 as a Colt Custom Shop special order model.
