The Colt Anaconda is a large-frame double-action revolver featuring a full-length under-barrel ejection-rod lug and six-round cylinder, chambered for the powerful .45 Colt centerfire ammunition. In 2021, Colt resumed production of the Anaconda using a new design with a stronger frame and an oversized Python action. This 6-inch stainless-steel model delivers the legendary craftsmanship Colt is known for, combined with modern refinements that enhance reliability and shootability across all shooting applications—whether hunting, target work, or sport shooting.
The revolver features rubber overmolded Hogue grips and a red ramp front sight with an adjustable target rear. The frame has been “bulked up” to allow continuous use of .45 Colt cartridges. The revolver has a smooth 9.5-pound double-action pull and single-action trigger pull. The revolver’s full underlug barrel and updated leaf-spring action help reduce recoil and improve shooting stability. The semi-bright stainless finish ensures durability and resistance to corrosion while maintaining the aesthetic appeal that makes this revolver a standout in any collection.
At approximately 53 ounces and 13 inches in overall length, the 6-inch Anaconda provides the ideal balance between sight radius and portability. The new Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt proved to be reliable and plenty accurate. Whether you’re drawn to revolver shooting for its mechanical simplicity, precision accuracy, or pure appreciation of Colt’s storied revolver heritage, this 6-round magnum delivers the heavy-duty performance and refined control that serious shooters demand.
