The cylinder has a light turn-line. The screw heads are Sharp. The markings are Clear. Overall, this handgun rates in about Fine-Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly and the cylinder lockup has very little play on each chamber. The double action trigger is smooth and the single action is crisp. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: The revolver comes in a blue plastic Colt case with serial-matching cardboard sleeve and a manual. The case has no notable wear or damage, in Excellent condition. The cardboard sleeve has light wear and fraying at edges and corners with some tears and tape repairs at the ears, in about Good condition.
Our Assessment: Colt introduced the Anaconda built on a new, heavy “AA” frame to compete with the Ruger Redhawk and S&W Model 29 revolvers. Our impression is that this revolver probably offers a smoother double action pull than the Ruger and is more rugged than the S&W. This revolver is great for hunting using .44 Magnum cartridges and with .44 Special for casual days at the range. This example is in Fine-Excellent condition with about 97% of its stainless finish and little sign of use. It comes with its original Colt cardboard sleeve and plastic case, equally ready to hit the range or round out a collection of the Seven Serpents. Please see our photos and good luck!
