Another very good video, I agree with everything you said. I own a 2017 Cobra, a 2020 Python and a 2021 Anaconda. You really have to see in person and shoot a 2021 Anaconda to fully understand how good of a job Colt did on this gun. The 2021 Anaconda may be the greatest double action revolver Colt has ever made and believe me....that is saying something.
@@TerryBenton I found two 4.25 New Anaconda models at my LGS yesterday. The first time I have ever seen the 4.25" version and Colt did an outstanding job. The finish is very bright stainless and has perfect fit. The balance, for being a large frame shorter barrel, is still very good and fits well in the hand. I was impressed with the ergonomics and balance on the 4.25" model. The factory stock sights and grips are crap, but don't worry - Wilson Combat has the new set of sights and Altamont has the nice wood grips. Overall, a very nice gun that would be well worth adding to your collection.
Great point about shooting your guns and not locking them away and never enjoying them. I was watching an episode of Jay Leno's Garage one night. He was driving his 1999 Corvette (I have a '98) and he said the following, paraphrasing: "I don't understand guys that don't drive their cars. A guy told me one time that he has a 1966 Ferrari with only 18 miles on it. I asked him; 'Is your wife still a virgin?" LOL!!!!
White Grips are just plain Badass. My brother owns a 1906 Smith and Wesson snub nose whith white ivory grips. My Colt Python 6 inch I'm picking up in December.
Wilson Combat makes a upgraded rear adjustable sight and upgraded front sight that really make the Colt Anaconda a superb revolver. Glad you put those on your Colt Anaconda. It is the best reasonably priced 44 magnum double action made. Period.
Hey Terry I finally got my Anaconda. A 6” one. My buddy got a 4” one. I purchased a set of Altamont grips made of wood with silver logo and a silver rampant horse and and they look great. I put a pic rail on it with an optic. I’m not sure I will keep the pic rail and optic. I own the 1st gen Anaconda that I purchased in 1990 which has a red dot. I also have a 1st gen python and will eventually purchase a new python. As I said in the past your presentations a very good and I enjoy them. Ricky from IBM Englewood, FL
That is super cool. I am glad you got it. I hope you enjoy it. They just released a new python elite with an unfluted cylinder. It looks pretty cool. Google it and check it out
@@TerryBenton WOW did not know that. My buddy will be very interested in that. When he was early in his LEO career he carried an original Python and has purchased one of the new versions of the Python. Ricky
Colt definitely was riding off their military contract hence they were putting out subpar products and having the anaconda use the trooper MKIII/king cobra coil spring system!
I owned a older anaconda and I loved it. It was a great weapon I was shooting a quarter in group at 50 yards with open sights with factory ammo or with my reloads. It had a 8 inch barrel. I have a new one now and I love it also it has the 8 inch barrel also.
That's a great finish. What do you use to clean it after shooting? Will certain chemicals damage the finish? What should be used to keep the original finish looking new?
I love mine. Just picked it up saturday. Unfortunately mine needs the barrel turned into the frame a touch more to line it up. Even with the rear sight all the way to the right, it's still shooting left.
@@TerryBenton no, didn't feel like dealing with sending my gun off and waiting weeks for something I can do myself. I have the tools and turned the barrel in a touch. Shoots dead on now with sights in the center. As it should have from the start
I own the 2020 python and love it .. but to be totally honest I also own the 2021 anaconda with 8 inch barrel and I actually think it’s smoother in the traction than the python colt may have had a few issues with the new python but wow they knocked the ball out of the park on the anaconda well done colt no one does a revolver quite like colt !!
The "White Glovers" whispering so they won't hurt their safe-queen Snake guns. That's the funniest thing I've heard describing some of these collectors. I'm still laughing!
My 2021 Python was smooth after a couple of boxes of ammo, but the Anaconda takes it up two levels! The double action is slicker than whale snot, and the single action is so light that if you miss the bullseye, it's all you!
Colt strengthened the frame and used a full 1.9 inch long cylinder on the new Anaconda. That means the 340 grain 44 magnum Buffalo Bore +P+ load and the Garrett Cartridges of Texas 330 grain Hammer Head hard cast loads to drop the biggest game animals worldwide.
Are those still Boone Trading Company grips from your other video? I looked for smooth finish synthetic ivory and they only had the oversized plow style grips not the finger grooves. I ordered em anyways cause they look about the best other than say badger customs for $300.
How does the new colt anaconda's 44 mag smoothness of operation compare to Smith & Wesson's 357 magnum? And is the old colt 44 inferior to other manufacturer's 44? I'll be watching your comparison video.
I have the 8 inch model. I bought some altamont grips for mine but switched back to the factory rubber. I can't stand the gap between the back of the trigger guard/grip.
The current production costs offer the Anaconda in 8 inch. The longest python they offer is 6 inch. I habe a couple of other videos on the other colt revolvers. Check them out
I had an original 4” anaconda. Sold it awhile back before colt got back into revolvers for more than these new ones go for 😂 Have a new one on order now.
90s guns subpar isn't the word for it they were total junk bought a colt revolver and the frame was cut crooked barrel leaned to left it shot 8 inches off.
@@TerryBenton yes! I got it this weekend at the West Palm Beach gun show. I saw it and I was surprised it was there! So I bought it. Can't wait to shoot it.
@@TerryBenton I shot it today for the first time. I do like the gun but the sights were off. I think I have them set for now. The Wilson sights are in my future. Also the trigger hesitated to reset twice. I only shot about thirty rounds. It's probably just something that got stuck in the action from shipping.
@totljag1 What... well, that makes no sense. Why would anyone smelling their own Farts put on white gloves? I have a medical condition. This is actually classified as a disability. I can not work in offices without having my own specialized ventilation. You like making fun of the disabled?

I agree. If it is bot the best it is a close #2 at the very least
Can’t wait to shoot mine
They are really nice. I have my sights set in on a 4.25 inch one next

Im proud to own this gun. It shoots beautifully. Ive shot over 300 rounds thru it. It cleans up like new every time.
They are awesome

Thanks for another great video. You have a good channel.
Thank you and thank you for watching
Colt definitely was riding off their military contract hence they were putting out subpar products and having the anaconda use the trooper MKIII/king cobra coil spring system!
Correct. They were not good during those times
That is a beautiful gun!
Thanks. And thank you for watching
agreed, this firearm is a work of art
I owned a older anaconda and I loved it. It was a great weapon I was shooting a quarter in group at 50 yards with open sights with factory ammo or with my reloads. It had a 8 inch barrel. I have a new one now and I love it also it has the 8 inch barrel also.
I had an older one a long time ago also. This new Anaconda is one of the best Comt revolvers ever built in my opinion. ThankS for watching
That's a great finish. What do you use to clean it after shooting? Will certain chemicals damage the finish? What should be used to keep the original finish looking new?
Here is an actual link to a video where I show you how to clean it.
ua-cam.com/video/bC50AaH9E4E/v-deo.html
If you point your smartphone camera at the QR code (frame or tag… tag is easier), it will tell you the day/month/year of manufacture.
I honestly did not know that
I love mine. Just picked it up saturday. Unfortunately mine needs the barrel turned into the frame a touch more to line it up. Even with the rear sight all the way to the right, it's still shooting left.
Did you contact Colt? That seems unacceptable to me. They will fix it I am sure of it but that should have never slipped through the cracks
@@TerryBenton no, didn't feel like dealing with sending my gun off and waiting weeks for something I can do myself. I have the tools and turned the barrel in a touch. Shoots dead on now with sights in the center. As it should have from the start
@TietLung that is awesome. Not many people have the tools or the skills to do that. Congrats
Love the looks of this gun.
Thank you

Yes that thing is incredible. I agree. They are even better than the python. I have both
@@TerryBenton do you have a link or can you let me know where you got those grips?
I'm thinking about getting me and my brother one of these. thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions about this masterpiece of a firearm.
You ate welcome. Thank you for watching

Yes this new frame is a beast. Thank you for watching
Those grips make look nice, but the rubber grips it comes with are more practical when absorbing .44 magnum recoil
I do agree with rubber grips being practical. These are Oversized and have finger Groove. They actually work pretty well. Thanks for watching
That’s a beautiful gun❤
Thank you
I enjoyed watching this video.
Thanks for watching
Love it ❤❤❤ I can stare at it forever
So can I
@@TerryBenton I’m watching it again as we speak , minds in the safe now and when I look at urs it’s like I’m looking at mine
Are those still Boone Trading Company grips from your other video? I looked for smooth finish synthetic ivory and they only had the oversized plow style grips not the finger grooves. I ordered em anyways cause they look about the best other than say badger customs for $300.
Yes they are Boone Trading Company ones. They are the same ones from other videos. I am.sure your grips will look awesome. Thanks for watching
I really like the grips! Great video!
Thank you
Great info! Where did you get the grips?
Thank you. I got the grips from a company called Dakota Trading company
I love the grips!
Thank you
Yea I have her also, but she is class b+ engraved from Colt. BTW, dig the rolly , but should got the two tone instead.
Gotcha. I am a stainless guy
U should make a video on how u installed the sight on the Anoconda
I might do that
May be late to the game but they sure did it right. She's a beauty
Thank you. Colt knowcknitnout of the park

I have a video comparing the new Anaconda to an old Smith model 629. I also show an old Colt Anaconda and compare it to a couple of things
I love those grips. Where did you find those ?
A company called Boone Trading Company online
Revolver Very Beautiful.
I Love Revolver COLT ❤
Thank you. I like Colts also
@@TerryBenton Colt Number One
I enjoy your videos. I have the 6 and 8inch
Thank you. The anaconda is my favorite modern colt
I have the 8 inch model. I bought some altamont grips for mine but switched back to the factory rubber. I can't stand the gap between the back of the trigger guard/grip.
That is super cool. They are good revolvers
Do u know of any company that has a nice holster for a 6 inch Anoconda ? Do u have a holster for this firearm ? Thanks 🙏
I have a cheap Amazon shoulder holster. I have not.really looked too much into holsters yet
@@TerryBenton u should do some videos on holsters , could be interesting . Thanks 🙏
@@totljag1 not a bad idea
Waiting on the 4.25"!i have the 8" but i cant ccw that one.
I knkw they announced them. Ha e not sewn them show up for sale yet
I got my 4.25 this week. the store has 10 people on the waiting list
Wow really? Still a waiting list? Congratulations
They still make the python, also? But do they make it in 8" barrel?
The current production costs offer the Anaconda in 8 inch. The longest python they offer is 6 inch. I habe a couple of other videos on the other colt revolvers. Check them out
You’re a funny dude, where do you get those grips at?
I got them from a company called Boone Trading Company. Thank you
What brand grips are those?
They came from a company called Boone trading Company
This would make a good sidearm for Grizzly country plus you pay good money for these why not take it out and enjoy it.
Absolutely. Thank you for watching
I like your style sir
Thank you
How was the accuracy?
Awesome. Changed the rear site and took 6 shots to zero it in
I wonder where I could get those grips from❤
Boone Trading Company online is where I got them
@@TerryBenton thanks a lot. Just ordered one. Can’t wait to get it.
@@safa1974 nice
How did it get so shiny? I just got mine and it looks stonewashed
All I did was wipe it with a micro fiber cloth. No polishing
@@TerryBenton thanks bro, I gave it a wipedown and its looking pretty good. Also I love your video about polishing your rolex. Swaggy af.
@@LaFlamaBlanca99 lol. It actually works. There is a before and after video on the watch.
Beautiful gun
Thank you
I had an original 4” anaconda. Sold it awhile back before colt got back into revolvers for more than these new ones go for 😂
Have a new one on order now.
Smart move
Got my Wilson combat sights installed , way way better sight picture
The entire site is so much better. Did you install it yourself?
@@TerryBenton yes 👍 , thanks for the encouragement to do it myself
This gun was also in COD MW2 and MW3 as General Shepherd's sidearm
I did not know that
@TerryBenton Yes and he uses it to shoot Ghost and Roach when they were betrayed
90s guns subpar isn't the word for it they were total junk bought a colt revolver and the frame was cut crooked barrel leaned to left it shot 8 inches off.
It does not suprise me sadly. Thanks for watching

Awesome

Ok
I have the 6 and 8 inch . 8inch is the way to go
Nice.
