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 non-matching cardboard sleeve and an assortment of factory paperwork including manual. The case has no notable wear or damage, in Excellent condition. The cardboard sleeve has scattered storage wear with fraying and tears at edges and corners, some tape-repaired on the interior, in about Good condition as not original to the gun.
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 condition with about 95% of its stainless finish and signs of light use. This revolver is equally ready to hit the range or round out a collection of the Seven Serpents. Please see our photos and good luck!
