Colt’s revolver Renaissance continues with the revived Anaconda, and we put the 4.25-inch .45 Colt variant through its paces over three range trips and 350 rounds. From its beefy stainless steel construction and excellent Hogue grips to its surprisingly crisp single-action trigger and modern optic-ready top strap, this Snake Gun delivers classic Colt feel with contemporary upgrades. Find out how it performed on accuracy, reliability, and recoil management—and why we hated to send it back.
