I was hoping for the revolver the Joker used in the OG Batman.

Very nice.  My tax return and OT will likely be going into a pot for a new bolt gun.

A recessed target crown offers protection and the frame is drilled and tapped for optics mounts, making the Anaconda an unstoppable huntsman's sidearm.

buds finally has for sale............for $5k
yeah, screw that!!!!
i can get a Korth for cheaper.  and its waaay better too.  but thats out of my reach too.
$5k, that's freaking ridiculous.  thats 3500 over MSRP.  anybody that buys that is either rich or stupid

MSRP 1499

they say retail is 5150.  no its not.  MSRP is 1499. 
maybe retail and MSRP is different.  but i am not paying 5k for an Anaconda
i'd rather get a Korth or a Wilson Combat 1911 or a Nighthawk custom 1911 for that price

Sounds like they are using the same software some travel sites use.

Look up a flight, and it's $500 if you book it immediately.  Wait and go back an hour later, and it's $1200!  Wait another day, and it's back to $500.

Crazy!   :crazy:

The last few trips I booked were through my credit card company because I hate dealing with the cookie psychology traps using 5 different browsers.

I found a 6" Anaconda on a shop's website on the mainland. Mark up wasn't bad over MSRP. Of course I ordered it and now I will wait. It will be a great addition to my Cobra and Python :geekdanc:

You know I'm a Ruger guy. But these Colt snake guns aren't too shabby  ;)
Maybe that's part of their marketing. Once you have a couple, you are already stepping into the rabbit hole  ;D

I know all about the rabbit hole. All too well.

BTW, check out the new announcement from Ruger I posted in the Firearms and Accessories section. I have been wanting a Heritage Arms Barkeep, but now…..

Funny thing I did a quick search on gunwatcher for that Colt 1911. Didnt find any but I found an Anaconda for sale at MSRP, a little cheaper than what I just paid a day ago. But that's just how it goes
I'll let you know if I run across your 1911 in stock somewhere

Update:
FFL was on vacation, so gun was mailed when they got back. A little delay, but I waited almost a year already so what's a few more days. Gun was delivered. It's now in the 2 week waiting period. After that I'll have the Anaconda in my hands  :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc:
I already reloaded some WC and SWC. And I have some hot ammo too
It won't be much longer.  Patience is a virtue in disguise  :shaka:

Definitely. Now I also have a chronograph and trigger pull gauge, so I can do a more objective comparison
44 magnum Colt vs S&W vs Ruger. Either way, I win 🤙🤙

What chrono did you get?

I will eventually get into loading handgun.  Will be trying to get close to the factory loads of 9mm 115gr and 124 gr.  Will likely eventually get into loading for revolver.  .44 ammo isn't cheap.   :(

Post by: stangzilla on January 31, 2022, 12:46:55 PM
one thing I notice from just fondling the Anaconda is the action is really, really smooth.  in SA and DA.  I'll measure it on the trigger pull gauge later but just cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger in DA, it is very smooth.  doesn't feel like a light trigger but it is very smooth, no stacking.  trigger feels better than the Python
also pulling back on the cylinder release and opening/closing the cylinder feels really slick too, better than the Python.  feels like the Anaconda is a smooth operator.  this is my most expensive firearm that I own, and it's well worth it.  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  but haven't shot it yet
