Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt's Manufacturing Company designed and produced the Colt Anaconda in 1990. This large-frame double-action revolver features a six-round cylinder and a full-length under-barrel ejection-rod lug.
The PDT model was a limited production of the 8" model that received porting and trigger work in the Colt Custom Shop before shipping.
The Anaconda was Colt's first foray into the large-bore Magnum pistol market, chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum and .45 Colt centerfire ammunition cartridges. The pistol was built on a new and heavier 'AA' frame and was introduced to compete with other .44 Magnum contemporaries such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29, the Sturm, Ruger & Co. Redhawk and Blackhawk, and the Dan Wesson Firearms Model 44. However, the Anaconda was quite a late entry into the large-bore handgun market as other similar pistols had been marketed and sold for 35 years upon its introduction. Unlike most other pistols introduced in the 1980s and 1990s, the Anaconda was only offered in stainless steel finish and never in carbon steel blued finish.
When introduced, the Anaconda had poor accuracy issues, but changes to the barrels quickly corrected the problems. This led to Colt billing its new pistol as among the most accurate .44 Magnum revolvers available in the market. Anaconda revolvers were targeted at sport enthusiast shooters and hunters, as they are relatively 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. However, made-to-order limited production versions of the gun remained available from the Colt custom gun shop until approximately 2003.
