Owners of the Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt frequently comment on the build quality. The stainless steel finish and overall fit come up repeatedly as highlights, and the Hogue rubber grips are generally well received for their feel under recoil from the large .45 Colt cartridge.

The 6-inch vent rib barrel is a divisive element. Range shooters appreciate the sight radius and the way it manages muzzle rise. For those who bought the Anaconda with any carry intent, the size and weight of the large-frame platform is a practical limitation they note after the first few outings.

Trigger quality is a common discussion point. Single-action pull is typically praised as crisp and consistent. Double-action pull is heavier, as expected on a large-frame revolver, and opinions on whether it is acceptable vary. Some owners send the gun out for action work; others adapt to it without modification.
