I bought an Anaconda from a big snake gun/premium dealer, on the big auction site a few years ago, and had a very unpleasant time returning it, when it arrived with a timing issue. Now that the '21 Anaconda has been in the wild for ~8 months, I'm ready to buy the new, improved 44, but it appears folks aren't quite done overpaying for them, so I'll be patient. Checked ammo prices for 44 mag & 44 Special yesterday, on my favorite ammo app, and at $1.20-$2 per round for 44 mag, & .70 for 357 mag, It would be nice to have an ammo sponsor. Merry Christmas! :)

Just FYI, We, in the rest of the English speaking world, pronounce it "Py-Thun". Not "Py-Thon". So to hear Hickok pronounce it correctly is music to our ears 😆😆

@@aminelucky2518 a Pistol? No. Its the same reason i wont buy a desert eagle now. They went from 750$ to 1500$.... for no reason other than they could charge that much and people would pay it. There isnt a shortage of parts, there isnt new innovative design work thats worth just that much more. Its worth what its worth. The real question is, why are people willing to pay more for one pistol than they are another. If you laid a 2021 Anaconda next to a Ruger GP100, without seeing the logos, would you be able to tell from handling or shooting? No. So why is one 600$ and one 1500$?

Watched this video a long time ago. Finally got an 8" a couple of weeks ago. Yes, this video was the reason I initiated my quest to own one. Thanks for the inspiration. Already ordered Wilson Combat sight upgrades after researching options that have been brought forward in February 2024.

I agree with you on the 41 mag. If they resurrected the 10mm then why not the 41 mag? I read an article in the American Rifleman magazine which said there were a couple experimental Pythons made in 41 mag. What better way to revive the 41 mag than to offer it in the Colt Python?
