I am curious if Colt has ever addressed the issue with the poor fitting rear sight? I don't care though. The gun is beautiful and every review I have seen raves about it. When the times comes, this gun is the one I will buy. 4" or 6" is the big question. I can only afford to but 1. Going to be difficult to decide.
I ended up buying the 4.25" Saturday from a vendor at my LGS. I put seventy rounds through it to get a feel for it. The rear sight on mine doesn't move very much at all, and the tiny lock-down allen screw never loosened. Did Colt improve it a little bit? I did order some wood grips from Altamont but I haven't received them yet. I also hand polished it with Mother's for a couple of hours. The barrel was noticably brighter than the frame and cylinder when I brought it home. It looks beautiful now and will look even better when the wood grips come in. You were the number one influence in me buying this Anaconda and I thank you for that.
That is a handsome gun for sure. Do you think the s&w 29/629 is more durable? I mean most ppl buying the colt won’t shoot it enough to really test its longevity let alone just buy it for investment purposes & keep it in a safe. For instance right off the bat we see a clear weak point being the sights & most ppl will be unaware since they’re gonna rarely if at all shoot it. If you can shoot 500-1000 Rds thru your 6” that would really prove where this colt stands on the 44mag pecking order! As of now it is unproven unlike the Smith!
I own a 6" 2021 Anaconda, but I am seriously considering trading for this 4.25" model. I use a Trijicon SRO red dot for optics, so there will be very little to no difference in accuracy by going to a shorter barrel. I have seen and looked at this new 4.25 Anaconda and the balance is perfect and has an outstanding trigger. I think the 4.25 would be easier to carry and use for an all-around woods gun or hunting revolver over the larger 6 inch model.
Beautiful! I need to add to my collection. Grips look great. I would switch the grips out to some sweet Altamont grips. The grips in your video are awesome. Thanks Terry, great videos. GB
bonjour magnifique présentation de ce colt anaconda en 4.25 il est superbe personnellement j'adore ce colt je vous remercie de se partage vidéo et des informations partagées cordialement
I was thinking about getting an Anaconda in the future after I buy a 6” Python first but I was debating on getting the 4.25” or the 6” Anaconda. Never shot a 44 mag before so I don’t how well I could manage the recoil on the 4.25 compared to the more heavy and longer barrel 6”. I’m leaning towards getting the 6” though. The 4.25” looks just as good if not better and it seems to have a better balance. What do you think about the differences in both sizes?
Hi Terry, always enjoy your presentations. I finally got an Anaconda. I was watching another presentation on Anaconda they said that the Anaconda comes with a pic rail. Mine did not. Did your 2 Anacondas come with pic rails ? I purchased the 6” model, my buddy 2 day ago purchased the 4.25 version.

I love your videos my friend. I had the 8” anaconda and when I saw this one I bought it right away and sold the 8” one. Very happy about it.
Incredible gun. Very impressive job by Colt. Hopefully they continue improving and come out with even more variants of the Python and Anaconda.
Its a shame they put the scope mount screws in the top of the 4in version.

Will that kill a grizzly bear??
