![]() ![]() The Anaconda’s rear sight has three indexing marks and a set screw to lock the sight’s blade in place. I expected a checkered hammer, but these serrations felt just as good and maintained the bright stainless look of the revolver. Rather than checkering or knurling, the hammer was serrated laterally. Lock-up was solid with the hammer either at full cock or in the lowered position. Double-action mode measured 11 pounds on the RCBS trigger weight scale. In single-action mode, the trigger broke at a crisp and easy five pounds. The face of the trigger is grooved longitudinally. The good news is the lockup is as strong - if not stronger - as the original and feels just as smooth. If you have ever taken off the side plate of a Police Positive, Detective Special, or Python, this was clearly evident.Ĭolt refined what was once an overly complicated system. Most old-time, centerfire, Colt double-action revolvers were notorious for shooting out of time. This was always Colt’s greatest strength, but also one of its biggest weaknesses. The Colt Anaconda that debuted in 2021 is almost a complete redesign when compared to the original - as far as lockwork goes. I would hold off a little bit on the Anacondas.The stainless-steel Anaconda resembles a beefed-up Python with the ventilated rib atop the barrel. The newest one I picked up, though, had several numbers of 170 000, which I don’t think they’ve made that many, but that was a serial number, and it felt pretty good. I will also send this anaconda back because the grip doesn’t work. This python right here was sent back twice. It won’t be able to handle the 44, and it will come back right out of your hand. ![]() You can’t shoot whenever the grip does that right there. I finagled with it, for an hour straight trying to get it. The grip screw in the bottom is not long enough. The anaconda doesn’t come with wood grips, it comes with the pack mark ribs. I’m still looking for the eight-inch anaconda, and I’ll have a review out on that one as soon as I can. The new ones that were made after had an ac2. This is the 1716th one made iI’s ac zero, so this is a pre-production Anaconda.īefore they let them off to the public, they had a zero in front of the ac. I cannot get the grip screw tight enough on them, as they have severe milling marks. But a few things I run into with the Anaconda, though. I’m not sure then it is a different trigger though, I believe it’s a little bit wider, is what it is. I guess it’s just for the more extensive leaf system even though it is heavier, but you do have a lot bigger trigger on it as well. The Python, on the other hand, feels smoother.Īs for me, single-action feels better on the Anaconda than it does a Python. The Anaconda feels lighter even though it isn’t and the double action on the anaconda also feels better. So python is decently lighter than the anaconda. And the single action is approximately around six ounces. In the case of the Anaconda, the double-action is averaging about nine pounds nine ounces. Now, let’s view trigger pull differences. ![]() So you’ve got a smaller statue in the 357 than you do the 44 magnums and a lot bigger cylinder with a 44 Magnum. One of them’s 44 magnums, and one of them is a 357 Magnum. Now we’re diving into the differences between Colt Anaconda and Colt Python. I’ve put the gen three wood grips on the gun instead of the wood grips that come with it from the factory. In this article, we’re reviewing two guns – the Colt Python 2020 edition and the new 2021 Colt Anaconda n44 Magnum. Jby admin_bestguns with 0 comments Colt Python vs Colt Anaconda ![]()
