Colt Anaconda vs. Smith & Wesson 29

[@totljag1]

On that smith they drilled the top strap , if u look on the inside of front strap the front screw don’t go all the way down flush creating a vortex and will burn the cylinder ruining the finish , if the owner calls S&W they will ship him out a new screw no charge fixing that problem

[@TerryBenton]

I will surely let him know. I leaned something today. Thank you

Yep happened on my model 19. Can be fixed with a longer screw

[@TerryBenton]

@dmw3086 I have heard this several times

[@skeet2212]

Thanks!. A very thorough review.

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you for watching

[@sirdingmydong2107]

I feel like both are cool for different reasons. Historically speaking, the smith is unmatched. However, the Anaconda is a python on steroids, and who doesn't love that? Plus, it can shoot higher pressure loads compared to the 29, which is great. Cant go wrong with either. (Colt needs to release a blued Anaconda with wood grips)

[@TerryBenton]

@@sirdingmydong2107 a blued anaconda would be cool

[@guavavodka]

@@TerryBenton can you tell me where the model 21 grips came from? man those are insane

[@bluesteeltraining]

A blued Anaconda with wood grips would be a dream come true for me!

[@zachb.6606]

Gorgeous revolvers.

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you

[@SmallGameHunter]

what is your favorite barrel length on wheel guns?

[@TerryBenton]

I personally like the 4 inch configuration. I do not have a good reason why except the looks alone. What is yours?

[@SmallGameHunter]

@TerryBenton 4" looks the most balanced for me as well. Though I already have a 3" SW 629. Wondering if 6" anaconda would be a better choice for me

[@TerryBenton]

@SmallGameHunter I have a 6 inch anaconda also. They are pretty nice. They look cool with the 3 vent ribs

[@SmallGameHunter]

@@TerryBenton them vent ribs sure make me feel like I just got an upgrade from COD zombies mode. 😆 that alone would make me want to get one. Now I just need to find one at good price. Thanks for changing my mind on Colts QC!

[@CyclingPrecision]

That anaconda is such a beauty 😍

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you

[@Caje-zf8md]

I purchased my blued S&W 29 with a 6.5-in. barrel and presentation case in 1978 after a lengthy search that covered several states and many gun shops. Back then they were still in short supply following in the wake of the "Dirty Harry" movies. Years later I would go thru a few Redhawks and an Anaconda (older mfr) before ending up with an early "no-dash" 4-in. Model 629. The aforementioned heavy, bulky revolvers came and went but I still held onto the slimmer, lighter Smiths. Admittedly, I doubt if either of my Smiths could stand up to a constant diet of full-power loads compared to either the Redhawk or Anaconda.

[@TerryBenton]

It does not matter. Your 4 inch 629 is one of the coolest guns ever made in my opinion

[@paulsgaragedoorservice7903]

Santa under my Christmas tree please

[@TerryBenton]

@paulsgaragedoorservice7903 lol. Tell him you have been good

[@MSgtofMarines]

I have a Python and a Model 19. These two are next!! Sooo gorgeous!❤

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you for watching. I hope you get them soon

[@oldgoatgxp]

I have a new one of each but with 6" barrel and just took both to the range today. Even though the Colt is a beautiful weapon compared to the 29, I would take the 29 all day long. The 29 is just smoother and more accurate. Nothing against the Anaconda, but this is just one mans opinion, especially when factoring in the dollar amount. One more thing about the Anaconda, I didn't like the rubber grip that came with it, but for $100 I changed out the grip to one like the 29. Real quick, it's nothing against Colt as I love my new Python.

[@TerryBenton]

The 29 is an awesome revolver. It has been around a very long time for a reason. It was the very first 44 magnum ever made. I am glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching

[@JoeBuck-uc3bl]

I got the 8” Colt Anaconda Talo edition BECAUSE the grips on that version looks awesome lol

[@Xebrutmozxe]

J'ai un faible pour les finitions bleutées et le SW modèle 29 est LE Revolver. Mais ce Colt Anaconda chromé est sexy as hell et pourrait me faire craquer tous les jours. Merci pour vos comparatifs d'armes et de nous montrer toutes oeuvres d'art. Greetings from Belgium and thank's to United States for producing such beautiful and reliable revolvers who are work of art. I would never sell my Colt Python and my SW Model 29.

[@TerryBenton]

Congratulations on owning them and thank you for watching

[@wilfridBAUCHET]

bonjour magnifique vidéo sur ces deux révolvers que sont le s&w modèle 29 4 pouces et le colt anaconda en 4 pouces 25 ces deux révolvers sont magnifiques . je pouvais être un collectionneurs j'avoue j'achèterais les deux modèles même si j'ai une préférence pour l'anaconda votre présentation et rapide et précise je vous remercie pour la qualité de votre travail a bientôt dans une autre vidéo cordialement

[@TerryBenton]

Thank you for watching

[@oddst]

Does the Colt Anaconda have semi-bright finish?

[@TerryBenton]

@@oddst yes it does. That is the factory finish

[@MarkHaase-vg6is]

Yes a satin finish

[@ahhamartin]

Then correct choice between the two is "yes".

[@TerryBenton]

Lol. Get both!!!!

[@OldGrizz-p9p]

I`ll take the tried and true 29 every time

[@TerryBenton]

Hard to pass up a 29. Thanks for watching

[@joep6807]

There’s no sleeve barrel on the 29

[@TerryBenton]

Oh yeah?

[@joep6807]

Correct your thinking the model 69 otherwise great comparison 😊

[@TerryBenton]

@@grayghostJSM I did showing in the video

[@joep6807]

Ok I have rewatched it and also looked at the one I own and called S&w to be sure the barrel is not sleeved and if you look what he’s referring to is the crown of the muzzle. Again I say no sleeve. Google it… No need to reply and be rude. Believe whatever you want. Willful ignorance is bliss I guess.

[@larsbliss2728]

I refuse to buy a revolver with a lock. Maybe that is why all my smiths are pre lock and I have all but one of the new Colt snake guns. Next is the .22 King Cobra the maybe the Kodiak.

[@TerryBenton]

Very cool. I like prelock smiths also

[@mlallen626]

Did the Colt come with that grip or did you replace it?

[@TerryBenton]

I replaced them. The anaconda comes with rubber grips. Thise are made by Altamont

[@mlallen626]

Do you mine me asking, what specific grips are those? I went to their site after watching the video, but all I saw were grips for the Python. I wasn’t sure if those grips would fit the anaconda as well.

[@TerryBenton]

@mlallen626 yes they are the python grips. The new python and anaconda grips interchange.

[@marktercsak9728]

Not the original stocks

[@chainsawchanselour5452]

These two couldve been rivals If colt had the balls to make the anaconda in the 60s Instead we got it 30 years later in the 90s

[@TerryBenton]

Correct and it was a bad example. It took them until the present day to make a good example of a 44 mag

[@totljag1]

Now this is going to be a good video 😜

[@TerryBenton]

I hope so. Thanks for watching

[@TerryBenton]

@@grayghostJSM thank you for watching

[@carlosmorris4510]

Cast - I thought that S&W was forged?... Hmmm, maybe that's just the frame.

[@TerryBenton]

The frame is forged. Almost all then internal parts including hammer and trigger are cast

[@BiggFinalBoss]

The Colt appears to be built like an unbreakable hammer. I like the bluing and the old look of the S&W. I prefer function and long term reliability.

[@TerryBenton]

I do also. Thank you for watching

[@marktercsak9728]

It was until the .454 casul cartridge was introduced also koi n the 1950's

[@TerryBenton]

Oh yes.

[@matthewlyness8161]

I would take that 29 over the anaconda any day of the week. I just bought the new 29 and it's as smooth as butter no work dont at all 🤔

@@TerryBenton Terry l apologize for the comments. It was a poor attempt at being a smart ass. Your vid was just find but l think a comparison on paper at distances up to 100 yards would be a better indicator.
