The Colt Anaconda is a stainless steel revolver chambered in .45 Colt. This example has an 8-inch barrel, a 6-round cylinder, and a semi-polish stainless finish. It pairs a red ramp front sight with a windage-and-elevation adjustable rear sight, and Hogue OverMolded rubber grips cover the frame. The trigger operates in both single and double action.

Owners of the Anaconda tend to be revolver enthusiasts who wanted Colt's stainless big-bore back in production. Fit and lockup on new production guns get generally positive marks, and the double action trigger pull draws praise once it wears in, though some shooters note it needs a few hundred rounds to smooth out.

The heavy stainless frame and long barrel make the Anaconda a two-hand gun for most people, not built for concealment. Hunters and outdoor carriers who choose it for woods use like the sight adjustability and the grip's ability to tame recoil in .45 Colt, though the weight is a common complaint for anyone carrying it all day.

Aftermarket support is thinner than for a modern polymer semi-auto, since grips and holsters are more of a niche market for Colt double-action revolvers. Value opinions are mixed: some owners feel the fit and finish justify the cost, others think it runs steep next to comparable stainless revolvers from other makers.
