I picked this up about a month ago in a private sale. Gentleman was moving to New York and didn't want to transfer this gun. I purchased it from him and had it transferred thru a LGS. To say I got a great deal would be to lie, I did better than that. She was pretty dirty when I got her home, but I spent a little time cleaning her up and tightening some screws and here she is.

 

1993 Colt Anaconda. 6" .44 Magnum. Stainless. No box or papers, unfortunately.

 

I never in a million years thought I would own one of these. I am looking forward to getting to Woodland Park and running some brass thru her.

 

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Very nice!

Nice pick up- good luck!

A classic and a timeless beauty.  

 

This is the type of thing I'd most likely not buy right out looking for one, but if I were to hit the lottery and could spend my time being a philanthropist and gun collector, I would love to add something like this to my (currently modest) collection.

 

Congrats shoot it in health.

I love that Colt...great find.

That looks all nice and shiney. Now go get it dirty again!

Thanks all.

 

@ Scrap, I wasn't looking for one, actually. Really I wasn't looking to buy anything at all. I went to return a pair of slippers that I bought my wife for her birthday as I had gotten the wrong size. I got the exchange done quickly and had the time to swing thru the gun shop. Nothing was in the case but a gentleman walked in looking to sell a couple of guns. This Colt happened to be one of them. Pure kismet.

Hey John. Thanks for the link but I'm just gonna shoot the snot out of her. Owning and trying to keep nice, a box like that would drive me nuts.

LMAO... I understand.

Technically it's copper coated lead not brass

True. Many apologies for my inaccurate description. Unless of course I was speaking of the cases, which are brass.

Hi John, there is an ongoing discussion on the colt forum claiming these boxes to be frauds.

Buyer beware.

Figures.... No prob.... Izzzzz gotz no morz... Years ago, we never kept boxes. Today I do since at least now most make nice plastic boxes. If I had to keep boxes for everything I bought, I'd need a house just for boxes.

Heading to Woodland Park this afternoon to shoot this for the first time. I'm looking forward to it. I have about 100 240gn XTP HP's loaded as specials and about 3 dozen 300gn XTP HP's loaded on the hot side. Should be a good time. I will be there about 4pm if anyone wants to swing by and say hello. I'll be wearing my red "Leggo my Eggo" shirt so I should be pretty easy to find. Or, just look for the asshole making a lot of noise with a stupid grin on his face holding a small piece of field artillery, that'll be me...

Just got home from Woodland Park.

 

44mag is FUN!!!

So are you just going to tease us or what? How did it go

 

 

This signature exceeds the 15 character capacity

I put about 30 rounds of mag loaded rounds thru the gun. Some 240's and some 300's. Fairly gnarly kick, even stung a bit, but manageable. It's a big assed gun so it was fine and definitely tamed recoil. I also ran some 240 gn specials thru it and it was like a really mild 45. Really............ pushy is the best word I can come up with. Pushed back into the hand. Extremely pleasant to shoot. The gun is more accurate than me. The trigger is silly smooth. Like it's on ball bearings. Silky, even. Just a really great gun to shoot. I like my 625 better, honestly. However the pony gun is something special.
