Colt Anaconda

       First introduced in 1990 by the colt arm's dealers the Colt Anaconda is a large framed double action revolver with a full barrel ejection rod lug, with a six round cylinder.
     The Colt Anaconda was chambered for the powerful .44 magnum and and .45 Colt centre fire ammo.

  

   The Colt Anaconda was was made to compete with the other .44 magnum contemporaries, like S&W model 29. 
  How ever the Anaconda was introduced late but even so it did business almost better then other contemporaries of .44 Magnum .


 This gun immediately became popular with sports enthusiasts and hunters, but since this gun is a bit too large it was not used for law enforcements, because it can't be concealed carry. 
 This gun was officially discontinued in 1999 but it was continued to be produced by Colt Custom Shops until 2003.

 The Anaconda has features of all its predecessors and even more, like frame shape of Colt King Cobra  and the ventilated barrel style of Colt Python, how ever unlike its predecessors the Anaconda is only available in stainless steel finish. 
It came equipped with 4,6 and 8 inch barrels, with a neoprene synthetic combat style grips.
