The Colt Anaconda in 45 Long Colt delivers the stopping power and precision that made this platform legendary among serious shooters. This stainless steel variant combines the cartridge's proven terminal ballistics with Colt's refined double-action mechanism for reliable performance in any conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard carbon steel revolvers, the Anaconda's stainless steel construction resists corrosion without requiring constant maintenance. The 4.25-inch barrel provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and portability, while the ventilated rib design reduces barrel heat buildup during extended shooting sessions. The 45 Long Colt chambering offers significantly more energy than standard defensive cartridges, delivering over 400 foot-pounds at the muzzle.
