This is a comparison of 2 modern Smith and Wesson and Colt 44 mag revolvers. the guns used as exam9mes in the video are as follows
Smith and Wesson 29-10 4 inch 44 mag
Colt Anaconda 4.25 inch 44 mag

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

[@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.

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

[@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

[@totljag1]

Now this is going to be a good video 😜

[@TerryBenton]

I hope so. Thanks for watching

@@grayrider1865 thank you for watching

[@oddst]

Does the Colt Anaconda have semi-bright finish?

[@TerryBenton]

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

[@marktercsak9728]

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

[@TerryBenton]

Oh yes.

[@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

[@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

[@phillipray6490]

How many times does he say Model 29? Quite possibly the worst treatise l have ever heard.

[@TerryBenton]

I am sorry you feel that way

[@phillipray6490]

@@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.

[@joep6807]

There’s no sleeve barrel on the 29

[@TerryBenton]

Oh yeah?

[@joep6807]

Correct your thinking the model 69 otherwise great comparison 😊

[@TerryBenton]

@@grayrider1865 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.
