Every pull is the same weight, which removes the option to cock for a lighter single-action shot. The transfer bar safety prevents the firing pin from reaching the primer unless the trigger is fully depressed. The semi-bright stainless finish sits between a full polish and a bead blast in both appearance and corrosion resistance. Red ramp front with an adjustable rear allows elevation and windage correction for different loads. Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves help manage the .44 Magnum's recoil across a session. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Anaconda?** A: The Anaconda is chambered in .44 Magnum. **Q: Who makes the Anaconda?** A: Colt manufactures the Anaconda. **Q: What type of firearm is the Anaconda?** A: It is a double-action-only revolver in the double action revolvers category. **Q: What is the barrel length of the Anaconda?** A: This version has a 4.25-inch barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the Anaconda hold?** A: It has a 6-round cylinder. **Q: What finish does the Anaconda have?** A: It has a semi-bright stainless steel finish. **Q: What grips does the Anaconda come with?** A: It comes with black Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves. **Q: Where can I buy the Anaconda?** A: Compare current vendor offers on this page. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews.

Build quality and finish draw consistent praise. The stainless steel construction holds up to outdoor use, and the semi-bright finish gives the revolver a distinctive look. Accuracy is cited as solid at both close and extended ranges, and many owners find the trigger pull smooth enough for practical shooting. Recoil management is where opinions diverge. The 5-lb weight helps absorb the .44 Magnum's push, but it's still a powerful combination at 4.25 inches. New shooters to large-bore revolvers find the experience demanding. The DAO action is the real dividing line. Some shooters value the simplified pull for its safety profile and consistency; others find it too limiting compared to DA/SA options, especially when deliberate precision shots are needed. Parts and accessories availability is thin compared to more common revolvers, and the price reflects both Colt's brand position and the relative scarcity of this specific configuration. Collectors prize it partly for that reason. ## Pricing **17 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Gritrsports Com | $1199.99 | | Guns Com | $1244.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $1285.99 | | Kygunco Com | $1286.88 | | Grabagun Com | $1299.99 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $1331.99 | | Palmettostatearmory Com | $1347.99 | | Guns Com | $1349.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $1367.99 | | RK Guns | $1399.99 | *...and 7 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (2 reviews) > **joel** (5/5): The Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum is a revolver that's hard not to love, a true beauty and beast combo.
