Colt Anaconda 44 mag 6 inch vs. 4.25 inch

This is a side by side comparison of a 6 inch and 4.25 Colt Anaconda. Both of these are chambered I. 44 magnum

[@keithwilliams2766]

I couldn't agree more on your statement about the 4.25" Anaconda being the best looking new production revolver offered to date. I would swear those were nickel finish instead of stainless. Colt really knocked it out of the park on their finish work on these two you have. I've always shyed away from Colt due to the cost. However the insane amount of money older Smith 29-2s are fetching may possibly mean it's ok to give the new Anaconda a look. Thanks for the video!

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you for watching

[@tberkoff]

Damn Terry. You've been buying some new production Colts lately. I guess you approve.

[@TerryBenton]

Yeah I think their new revolvers are pretty cool. They did a good job on them

[@Summitclym]

The 4.25” Anaconda is next on my list. Great job Colt!

[@TerryBenton]

It is probably the coolest new Colt revolver made to date. Thanks.for watching

[@MarkMphonoman]

This is a fantastic review of the new colt Anaconda .44 magnum. Thank you.

[@TerryBenton]

@@MarkMphonoman thank you for watching

[@josephliptak]

Digging the white grips on that .44 snake. The cylinder on the Anaconda is massive and even bigger than the cylinder on the model 29 Smith & Wesson. 44magnum.

[@TerryBenton]

@@josephliptak yes. Itnhas a massive cylinder. I have a video that shows them side by side. Thank you for watching

[@Carriesaglock]

Wish they made a 5”

[@TerryBenton]

They just came put with a 5 inch python so maybe they will soon

[@greybeard355]

I was thinking about a set of Altamont grips, but after seeing yours I chose not to because of the crappy fit and finish behind the trigger guard. At least they could made them fit a little tighter around the guard.

[@TerryBenton]

Understood

[@MarkMphonoman]

Wow, great review. I am a Colt fan and was quite happy when this new Anaconda was released in 44 magnum, my favorite big bore caliber. Just got mine this week. The craftsmanship, as you so rightly pointed out, is just amazing. Hey, Smith & Wesson. Love my model 29 mountain gun but you can definitely learn some lessons from this Colt. The trigger pull and action are as smooth as glass right out of the box, as is the highly polished stainless steel finish. This is a premium revolver in every way.

[@TerryBenton]

I could not have said it better. Thank you for watching

This presentation inspired me take out and compare my 2021 Colt Anaconda, 1991 Colt Anaconda, and my S&W 50th Anniversary Model 29 all chambered in .44 Magnum I have a Python manufactured in the 1980’s which I purchased in the late 1990’s. I have been waiting for Colt to produce a New Python in blue to match my 1980’s Python and not they have. I will wait for the price to drop a little and I put together the $$s to purchased one. The current price is quite high. On the 2021 Anaconda I have installed nice wood grips with finger groves and inlay miniature full size gold rampant horse and round gold rampant horse madalion and these grips look AWESOME I might have to get a 4.25” Anaconda. My buddy prefers the 4.25. When started a cop he carried a 4.25” Python and prefers that size revolver. Although our ECD’s are 1911’s. He carries a full size government 5” and I carry a commander 4.25” On both on by Anacondas I have scopes. On the 1991 i have a Propoint red dot circa 1991 with Pachmyer rubber grips with finger Grover Circa 1991 and on the 2021 Anaconda 3-9X42 scope which I shoot at 100 yards. My grips on both Anaconda are the same shape as yours and I agree, they are the best feeling grips I have ever felt on a revolver Anyway another inspiring presentation FYI - all these revolver are in 6” Ricky from IBM

[@TerryBenton]

I bet you have one of the most amazing collections. I would like to see somebody your stuff one day

[@k4vms]

@@TerryBenton I was thinking the same thing about you too lol

[@andywindes4968]

That's a pretty bold statement about the earlier Anacondas. My 1994 model is the nicest .44 Magnum I own.

[@TerryBenton]

If you like them there is nothing wrong with them. I ha e a comparison video that shows why I think the way I do If you are Interested. I show them side by side

[@totljag1]

I was actually looking to buy a S&W 29-2 in 4 inch but the money they want for them I be better off getting a 4 inch Anaconda

[@TerryBenton]

I agree

[@k4vms]

Very interesting that Colt would craft a a 4.25” Anaconda which is the same specification as a 1911 commander Ricky from IBM

[@TerryBenton]

I think it had to do something with them Importing them to Canada. I could be wrong

[@douglasphillips24]

Wow 😲 what a beautiful pair . I myself have been wanting my S&W 629 deluxe back I sold as a dumb young idiot years ago.

[@TerryBenton]

If you want one go get it. You only live once. Thanks for watching

[@BrotherHoodofTheDogxix]

I have two pythons, 3 and 4.25 inches, i got one as a gift, so got lucky with that. I will get a 6 inch Anaconda when savings allow.

[@TerryBenton]

You will not regret it

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Which python do you prefer?

[@Larry-xf3qt]

Really great channel and u have a great since of humor 😂

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. Thank you for watching

[@totljag1]

Your killing me 😂 now I want one 😂😂😂

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. I should have never borrowed that one

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

I’ve been looking for a smooth faces trigger anyone have a source?

[@TerryBenton]

They do not make them for the anaconda to my knowledge

[@michaelmetler6315]

What do you think about the Grizzly and Kodiak?

[@TerryBenton]

I think they are awesome. The unfluted cylinder make them look cool. I have a smith 629 with an unfluted cylinder. Just gives it that different put of the ordinary look.

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

How much were you able to pick one up for?

[@TerryBenton]

They are $1500

[@javiereastwood2320]

I would go for a 6 inches, just because for personal defense I would use the 4 inches python, and for bear country, hunting, survival a 6 inches anaconda with scope for hunting 120 yards

[@TerryBenton]

@@javiereastwood2320 I cannot disagree with this

[@smithn.wesson495]

Colt had the right idea with the original Anaconda, but they could never really get it right. The old Anaconda was hybrid of a scaled up King Cobra / Trooper with a Python style looking barrel. The quality was subpar, below average and not even close to what it should have been, even for the manufacturing technology of nearly 35 years ago. The 2021 Anaconda is a 1,000 times better gun in fit, finish, strength and trigger. Colt finally got the Anaconda right and there is no comparison between the old and the new. I have owned a 6 inch 2021 Anaconda since March 2021 and have no need for the 4,25" model, but everytime I see a 4.25" Anaconda I want one more and more. Someday temptation will win and I will trade off one of my other guns for this diamond......

[@TerryBenton]

Do it. Get one!!! Lol

[@almathias6538]

Is that the factory finish on those guns? They look much shinier than mine.

[@TerryBenton]

Yes they are the factory finish. Thank you for watching

[@almathias6538]

Ok thanks

[@Awwyeah281]

Currently trying to figure out which one I want, the 6 or 4 inch. How much kick does the 4 inch have as opposed to the 6 inch?

[@TerryBenton]

To be honest they are about the same. It is such a heavy gun that it absorbs alot. It is still. 44 mag answer will have recoil but not as much as a smaller smith

[@RevolverTv]

Now all you only need is the 8 inch so then you'll have the full entire set

[@TerryBenton]

Right!

[@RevolverTv]

@@TerryBenton you remind me of my friend from florida

[@TerryBenton]

@@RevolverTv cool

[@johnkirk3279]

Switch the grips and I'll be happy. I'll be damned if I will ever carry a white grip gun. I don't care what it is made of it is ugly to me! I want the 6 inch. Not with those ugly white grips!

[@TerryBenton]

@@johnkirk3279 I actually switched the grips on the 6 inch. Thanks for the input
