The Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum 6-inch is Colt’s big-bore double-action revolver, built with a stainless steel barrel, cylinder and frame around a six-round cylinder (Colt part no. ANACONDASP6RTSSEG). The 6-inch barrel is the middle of the Anaconda lineup, long enough for velocity and a steady sight picture yet still manageable on a belt or chest holster. It runs double action or single action, with an exposed hammer you can thumb back for a deliberate shot. A transfer bar safety and rebounding hammer keep the hammer off the primer unless the trigger is pulled. It fires .44 Magnum for hunting deer and hogs or backcountry protection, and .44 Special for lighter practice.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .44 Magnum, a proven big-game handgun cartridge.
• It also fires .44 Special, a milder load that makes practice sessions more comfortable.
• Barrel length is 6 inches, balancing velocity and sight radius against carry weight.
• Capacity is 6 rounds in the cylinder.
• The action is double action/single action, so it can be fired with a long trigger pull or cocked for a lighter one.
• The barrel, cylinder and frame are stainless steel, which resists rust in wet weather.
• A transfer bar safety transmits the hammer blow to the firing pin only when the trigger is pulled.
• The rebounding hammer returns off the firing pin after each shot.
• The exposed hammer lets you cock the revolver for single-action fire.
