The Colt Anaconda returns as a premium double-action revolver engineered for maximum power and precision in the potent .44 Magnum cartridge. This stainless steel powerhouse delivers the stopping power and accuracy that made the original Anaconda legendary among serious shooters.

Colt's precision manufacturing ensures consistent lockup and timing across all six chambers, delivering accuracy that budget revolvers struggle to achieve.
