The Colt Anaconda in .44 Magnum is a large-frame six-shot revolver with an 8-inch barrel and a blued finish (Colt part no. ANACONDA-BP8WTS). Its forged carbon steel frame and leaf-spring action give a smooth, non-stacking trigger, and the exposed hammer supports both double-action and single-action shooting. A red ramp front sight and a fully adjustable rear sight cover the aiming, and a matte top rib cuts glare. It is a long-barrel revolver for hunters and range shooters who want power and a stable sight radius.
