From one of the other comments, he suggested that he could shoot this all day without wrist pain. If I ever get a .44 Mag, it will be about this heavy as well for that very reason.

[@ToolsandTargets]

😂

[@DrQuagmire1]

@@ToolsandTargets even though I don't have a .44 Magnum revolver, but my Desert Eagle in that same caliber is not only quite heavy, but it's also very pleasant to shoot for such a big gun. Hell Tools, even my one aunt was quite surprised at how well that i've handled a .44 Magnum that big.

[@shanescrivner4295]

Great guns. My 2021 Anaconda has been shot a bunch. I just crossed the 3,000 Magnum rounds of all types. No light primer strikes in double action like you see in the comments. The single action is a lot better now than when it was new. A true Beast of a hand cannon. I love it.

[@ToolsandTargets]

No idea where people are getting that there were "problems" with them. Internet gossip.😆

[@ronenton4037]

I think the problem was with the early 2020 Pythons loose side plates. By the time the 2021 Anaconda was released it was fixed.

[@jimreed6875]

I had gotten to the point where I thought I already had more guns than I needed, but you're tempting me to add to my collection.

[@ToolsandTargets]

I had way more than I needed the 10th time I decided I had way more than I needed.😂

[@bluescatreimer]

Now that's the way to slice watermelons! I bought a 8" Anaconda in 2022 and it is like yours. nice and shiny and buttery smooth, mine came with rubber grips so I bought a wood set from Altamont like what came on my 2020 Python except I got a little scroll work on em. I put a set of Wilson Combat sight on both the Python and Anaconda, fiber optic front sight and a U notch adj rear sight. Hot here as well, 107 right now, sposed to be 111 & 114 all next week. Too dang hot to go to the range so I'll just stay home and watch y'all shoot. Good video brother.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Thank you sir. I didn't realize how wobbly and bad the stock rear sight was until I put one on my Python first. I ordered the one for this Anaconda as soon as I got it home.😎👊

Perfect way to start a 44 magnum pistol review! Well done!

[@lawrencehudson9939]

I have both Model 29's and a 2021 Anaconda. The Colt is bigger and heavier than my S&W's, I also have a Colt New Service in 45 Colt with a 7.5-inch barrel which is dimensionally similar, but the Anaconda is beefier. For 44 Mag. it is the new king of the hand cannons.

Tools - that was a great post Independence Day shoot! Kinda awkward complimenting another man on his Anaconda, but man that's beautiful! I'm truly impressed with that Double Action. Has me thinking I may have to take a closer look at one of those DAO Night Cobra or King Cobras. Thank you for the show, Sir. Hope it's a great weekend for you all over there!!

[@ToolsandTargets]

Appreciate that, my friend. If I was gonna get a serious carry revolver, it would probably be some sort of Colt just because of the smooth double action.

[@petee454]

Excellent! Thank you. Someday, I hope to go 44 one day. Either that or Smith.

[@ToolsandTargets]

Can't go wrong either way!😎👊

[@theunofficialresults231]

Tried the 9mm Hornady HAP's on water jugs, went straight thru 2 layers of denim, 1 layer of cotton tshirt and three water jugs. I didn't catch the slug, but the exit hole was same size as the entrance, so I don't have much hope for a jelly test.

[@ToolsandTargets]

😆

[@alflyover4413]

I'm not surprised. That bullet is intended for the range, knocking down steel and poking holes in paper. It isn't designed for energy transfer to soft media, like their XTP is. It will, as a result of the meplat, and it may surprise you in the jelly targets because of the meplat.

[@JessieBlandingJr1982]

Never had a revolver and this has always been at the top of my list. The reason i never putchased s revolver of this length is because as a handgun its not something i can EDC. As of now i personally will buy a handgun that i cant carry. I don't have thr money or mindset to buy a gun just to shoot few times a year or to collect. But i more than like will get this Colt Anaconda 8 inch. I will need some training on it though. This will definitely be a gun that i take to the range alot and use for home defense option

[@russellweber3466]

Last year I bought a Taurus .44 mag revolver, stainless steel with a ported 4" barrel and the recoil seems the same as a Taurus .44 mag revolver I have with a 6 1/2" ported barrel. Your 8" snake looks like it would be = to a S&W 629 classic with an 8 3/8" barrel, which I have.

[@scarifrougeone7225]

Great new Tool test. All around great performance on all the different targets. Very nice Colt. The only Colt I have is their M4 .22LR. Semi. Very nice and accurate .22LR. Loads of fun there Tools nice exhibition lol 😂. Be safe and keep cool 😎.🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sweet new addition to the collection! Last week there was a private seller, selling a Super Red Hawk 8" with a scope. He was asking too much and wouldn't budge at all (due to not wanting to take the scope off). Dang shame too, as it was in very good condition. I just wanted it for LARGE game hunting as I do pay for a guide in Montana, and VC British Columbia every few years.
