*SOLD* 2021 Colt Anaconda .44 Mag Stainless 6" *POPULAR REDESIGNED SNAKE SERIES*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Anaconda, introduced in 1990, marked the return of Colt's large-frame double-action revolvers after the discontinuation of the New Service in 1942. Based on the successful King Cobra design, the Anaconda featured a stainless steel construction and a transfer bar ignition-safety action, specifically engineered to handle the powerful .44 Magnum round. With a massive forged frame and heat-treated cylinder, it was built for maximum strength and durability. The Anaconda was chambered in both .44 Magnum and .45 Long Colt, with barrel lengths offered in 4", 6", and 8", while a rare 5" version was also produced but not cataloged. Some models featured Magna-porting for reduced recoil and muzzle rise. Uniquely, the right side of the barrel was marked with the inscription "Double Action Revolver," while other models were stamped with ".44 Magnum Cartridge." Finishes included satin stainless, bright polished stainless, and a limited edition in Realtree camouflage. Produced from 1990 to 1999, the Anaconda was reintroduced as a Colt Custom Shop special order model from 2002 to 2006, cementing its place as a legendary firearm for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Colt has expanded its legendary Snake Gun lineup with the modern reintroduction of the Anaconda, now reengineered around an oversized Python action for enhanced strength and reliability. Built on a robust, solid stainless steel frame, the updated Anaconda delivers the durability and performance expected from a top-tier double-action revolver. Its refined Linear Leaf Spring Action provides a consistently smooth, non-stacking trigger pull, while the ergonomic Hogue rubber grips help manage recoil, ensuring control and comfort whether on the range or in the field. Designed with both precision and versatility in mind, the Anaconda features fully adjustable and interchangeable sights, making it adaptable for a variety of shooting applications. The recessed target crown protects the muzzle for improved accuracy and durability, while the drilled and tapped frame allows easy mounting of optics, transforming the revolver into a formidable hunting companion. Whether for target shooting or backcountry carry, the new Colt Anaconda blends classic revolver heritage with modern enhancements, making it a standout in Colt’s storied revolver legacy.
