    Colt Anaconda 4.25”

    Got from PSA. $1299 blemish. I can only find one small light scratch on the side plate that can easily be buffed out. Replaced the sights with Wilson Combat rear and gold dot front. Makes a huge difference. The Hogue grips were not to my liking, so I replaced them with a Colt medallion marked Pach grips. Much better.

    What's not to like! Mine is an original Anaconda. I got it new in '92.

    You show-offs. I don't need a 4" 44, I don't need... but I sure do want.

    I think they discontinued the Anaconda in .45 Colt. It was good for Ruger only load data.

    Bought one of the new ones this spring. 44-Mag I really like it my Wilson rear sight should be here today. I have Vortex Red Dot on it right now and it is accurate. Mine is a 6” though. It should be dandy for Whitetail hunting nice WFN GC pushed to moderate speeds is very effective for just about anything.
