When a man possesses the Honor of giving a public apology, it demonstrates character. I've done it in front of formations when I was wrong before. Anyone can talk the talk, real men walk the walk! Love your vids. --Alex

The sights look good....but the marksmanship of the Marine pulling the trigger was outstanding. Semper Fi! USMC 74/78.

That Bill Wilson rear adjustable sight is a great upgrade for the Colt Anaconda and Colt Python new models. And that gold bead Wilson front sight is awesome too.

Love the willingness to say "I was wrong". Kudos.

Just got a 8" Anaconda and it is unbelievably smooth. My thought about the longer cylinder is IF Colt ever decided to build a Anaconda in 454 Casull, they would already have the length necessary.

I purchased the Wilson combat red fiber optic front sight thanks to you and this video. I was having a very hard time focusing with the factory light orange colored sight but now I'm consistent. Thank you sir

I love your channel and appreciate the work you put into your videos.

Thank you so much.

awesome shooting sir

That's some nice honest grouping there sir. Bill makes a nice sight but wish there was more competition out there. The gun cost $1500 then you have to spend another $100 or so to use it. Shame on Colt. The engineer who designed that after thought, and his buddie who approved it for production should be separated from the company and maybe a good fit for fries managers at Arbys.

I am hoping Colt releases the Anaconda in 45 Colt next year. Thanks for another great revolver video!

I had the original iteration of the 6" Anaconda, and sold it. Dayattherange you rascal, you made me want another ! Hey sir, you are a darn fine shot. Thanks for the video.

Love the positivity and energy. Keep up the great work. Very entertaining. I wish you where my uncle

Just love the 44 mag, bought my first one 42 years ago. Many came and went. Taurus raging bull in 8 3/8" for hunting, S&W 629 4" Magna-ported for woods gun, and the 8" Colt Anaconda in stock form just for grins. Nice video.

Really like your entertaining videos. My target shooting days are really painful now with arthritis in both thumbs and trigger fingers. I can manage single action OK but double action is a killer on my revolvers. Keep putting out great videos that remind me of hours of plinking years ago.

Beautiful gun! Nothing beats pride of ownership. These days I take most of my firearms advice from Bill, Ken, and Massad. I fitted a gold bead front sight from TK customs on my Smith model 69. Liked it so much all of my revolvers and 1911s have either brass or gold bead front sites now. Thanks for the great video!

Great video. Thanks. I’m going to have to purchase one.

The Wilson sights are absolutely excellent. I installed them on 3 new Pythons and 1 Anaconda along with green fiber optic front sights and wow what a difference. These are better made than the Elliason rear sights on the original Pythons

What a great review! I have the 8" on order. Gonna order this sight combo after watching this review! New subscriber!

Great. Now I want one. I had a chance to buy one of the original Anacondas for $400 back in 1989 or '90 from a friend, but I had just bought a .45 from him for $400, and I decided to wait. I may get one of these or a new Python this summer. That was some pretty good shootin' and an interesting video, Devil Dog. Semper Fi!

Another good video and great shooting, I am thinking about buying the Anaconda

Absolutely a must upgrade - my Colt Python 2021 rear sight was trash - now it’s a tack driver

I totally agree with you on the Wilson Combat sights, they are a huge upgrade on the Anaconda and Python. I just bought a 4.25" Anaconda and already have the Wilson Combat sights although I went with the green fiber optic front sight. Thanks for another informative video.

Great hands on review! Appreciate your integrity sir! Much respect. You are a true Gun Guy!

Nice shooting I'm now thinking about getting these sights for my new colt python

Yes sir! Well done.

I really enjoy your video:)

Love the video & the Snakes. I bought the Python last year and the Anaconda finally hit Commiefornia recently so I picked that guy up too. I love accuracy! Now if the rear sights were only In Stock!!! I'll be patient....

Good stuff. Rah. Have the Wilson Rear .15 height U-Notch Battle sight on order.

Hopefully, Bill Wilson will add a tritium rear and front sight version of this sight for the New Anaconda and Python models.

Beautiful revolver and very consistent

SERIOUSLY ACCURATE REVOLVER !!!!!

Good job. Thanks

Waiting on the rear sight...got the front (gold bead) and it's world's better than the OME. Got mine on a 6" 2020 Colt Python though, but yeah...the rear OME sight is absolute junk. Great vid.

Glad to see you demonstrating the original revolver speed loader to the younger folks. 😉

Really enjoy your colt videos! But so curious why wasn't your cylinder rotating? Was it the light return spring replacement? Thanks

Great video

I love my wilson combat sights on my Colt Anaconda. It made a really great revolver even better.

How decent of you 👏👍 Very informative video. Thanks

Excellent video !

I just got my Colt Python and have already ordered my set. My front sight is the white gold version. I cant wait to receive them in the mail. Good shooting Marine!

I'm not getting any hours with all the snow out. Is it really necessary to get that rear sight. Figured I'd locktite the set screw. Still haven't shot mine.

Great shooting. I definitely want to replace all my red ramps that are pinned in.

Video earned my subscription! Semper Fi!!!

Great shooting ! Gold bead front is my favorite for 1911s . I have an 82 Python . I never thought of changing a thing on it , but a gold bead would be heaven sent . I don’t think the Wilson bead will install in the old ones . … I got an anniversary coming up, I think my wife would love a new Colt Python with that sight setup. What say you? Is that appropriate for 35 years ?

WTF😱 outstanding hits

Hello sir, just curious if you’re still liking the revolver, have you shot it much, how’s it handle hotter reloads, etc? I’m considering a Ruger, Smith, or Colt double action, or possibly a BFR single action, in .44 mag for a deer hunting and survival handgun with more oomf than my G22 .40 cal. The Smiths are fine if you get a good one these days but there are occasional lemons, the Rugers are a lot more expensive than they used to be but they’re the same guns, and then there’s the new Anaconda. I like the looks and features, it certainly seems like a heavy-duty piece, but I haven’t seen much longer-term reports yet. Thanks!

you have the link to this rear sight I have the front fiber optic

Nice shooting!!!!

Is the 2024 anaconda still shipping with loose rear sight?

Very nice!... Just a quick question: what do you think about the snub nose (2.5" barrel or so) .44 Mags in comparison to a 6" like this?

I just bought a new colt anaconda, and the rear sight literally fell apart. I’ll be getting a Wilson for it.

Nice shooting!

Thats a beauty!

Good video

I agree with you 100%, this is the best product for the Anaconda or the Python!! The only difference between your setup and mine is that I got the U Notch on mine.

I guess Bill should get you a commission!😊

Dude! Your talking me into that rig buddy!!

The OEM rear sight on my 2020 Python is a wiggly, loose, and imprecise piece of junk. It's as if just gave up and pushed the Python out the door with a crap sight to meet some sort of deadline or price point. Whoever thought the tiny .050 allen screws were a good idea was definitely in violation of Colt's substance abuse policy. The new Wilson Python is everything the Python and the shooters that own them deserve. The adjustment detents are positive and fine tuned, and the new sight picture is MUCH better than the OEM Python rear sight. Bill Wilson makes the best aftermarket accessories available.

You sir are a Pistolero. If I may, did you order your sights from Wilson or did you find tham available for purchase somewhere. Thanks Big Guy.

What rear site do I order from Wilson Combat. Is there only 1 or multiple sites for sale? In other words what rear site do I order? I own a 6 inch Python & 8 inch Anaconda. Does the rear site fit both? I own a couple of WC also, love them and worth every cent. Great video and information. Semper Fi!

What is the possibility that Wilson and CZ/Colt conspired on this? Funny to me how fast Wilson came up with the “fix” 🤔

Sights are often a critical upgrade on a handgun. They can make a big difference. That is a fine piece of steel there!

Just bought a new Python and looked at the Anaconda today should I go with the Colt Anaconda or S&W 686 629 !

Nice !

I used blue loctite on the screw on my sight and have not had an issue at all and its not moving and its dead on.Semper Fi!!

Unfortunately I didn’t have the same luck. I have the 8 inch anaconda purchased the rear, U notch sight from Bill Wilson with their green fiber optic. with the rear sight bottomed out all the way it’s still shot 3 inches high at 25 and 4 to 5 inches high at 50. I tried the same set up on my 3 inch python with the same results. It shot high with the rear sight bottomed all the way down, and no further adjustment. emailed customer service they provided no solution and said they had heard no problems with the sights and everybody looks through them different. I would think Bill Wilson would not want his customer service to treat his customers like this. Now should I spend another couple hundred dollars and try the rear square notch sight with the brass bead.

DATR, stay away from the receiving end of that beauty............deadly groups !!

everyone gets a flyer now and then. Nice gun, I got the front sight from Wilson, the glow stick type. I still struggle with this gun, mine is a 8''. I have shot .44 magnums since the early 80's so not a new caliber for me. But I shoot my Ruger Redhawk way better than the colt, then again, I shot the Ruger 1000's upon 1000's of times. It might have to do with the rear sight on the anaconda, it is the original, Will get one from Wilson, seems to be the correct upgrade.

I 100% agree i have a 4.25” python and my rear sight was wobbly as hell put Wilson combat u notch rear and gold bead front and what a difference I’d recommend to anyone who has a new colt python or anaconda

The OEM Colt rear sight is hardly worthy of a .22 revolver, let alone a .357 or .44 Magnum. The Wilson sight is a quality component that every new Python or Anaconda owner should invest in.

wow... that's some shooting.

Damn good aim,

He got at least 5X on that second string of six!!!

I like it.

Thank God someone is making replacement sights for the new Anaconda. The gun is a great shooter capable of 3 1/2 to 4 inch groups at 100 yrds with a scope. Why would Colt manufacture a great gun with wonderful accuracy potential and put such crappy sights on them. I might add why the 5 to 6 lb single action trigger?

Sweet shootin' iron my friend.

Oh man after watching this video i checked my anaconda and mine was loose too.

You better give me some more of this fine shooting 🔫

Damn`it, i gotta stop watchin your videos Eli. I keep trying to talk myself out of buying another 44 mag, but dang it, i really like that Colt Anaconda, ALOT! And yep, ole Bill Wilson will get in my wallet for a set of these sights too. Damn you guys, lol.

Bought an Anaconda. Fired it. Kinda iffy. checked my rear sight after this video. Loose. Bought the wilson rear immediately.

My old 4" Python is still a dream to shoot.

Set screw loose from factory, felt it ,don't have hex that small

Due the initial part of this vid I think You shoot better of hand than rested sir...

OEM rear sight made me hate my Python. Put the WC rear sights on it and now I cant shoot it enough.

That’s some good shootin’

My friend be careful with hot Rodding your reloads. The frame may take it but the lock works will not. I’m telling you this as a experienced gunsmith. You would be better off with a ruger if you want to do that.

Not bad shooting, for an old broken down Marine. Semper Fi.

Good shootin'!!

I shot better than that in 1999 25mters 6 inch tube standard colt annaconda no rest 2 handed

Handloads brother, not reloads. Even if you use once fired brass, you're not reloading. Reason being, 75% of the components in the original cartridge are disposal, not reloadable. Once fired, they're gone! Thus, you take a brass case (new or previously fired) and load it with the new components by hand. The only way I would try to argue a convincing "reloading" process, is if you took a factory or handloaded cartridge, disassembled it and put it back together using all of its original components. However, once fired, that same case can be handloaded to myriad different specifications that are not a "reload" of the factory or original cartridge. Even if you used the same powder, bullet, and primer as in the cartridge, it is indeed a handload, if you put it together, using bulk components. I know it sounds a little nit-picky, but words, (along with brass lives...pun intended 😉) do matter. Not only that, but after doing it for over thirty years, I take a bit of personal pride in developing accurate, tailored, cartridges for my collection of rifles and handguns. Which, I might add, includes both the 2020 Python and the 2021 Anaconda. In so doing, I consistently take game, (when I can find it) and always get the optimal ballistic results, whether at the range or in the field. By the way, the factory issued sights on both revolvers are perfectly accurate! I won't be replacing mine, cost considerations notwithstanding. Nothing wrong with factory ammo, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not mine, and I only buy it for breaking in a new gun (sometimes) and for handloading the brass, if it's hard to find in bulk. Just using the brass to construct a new cartridge is not reloading a cartridge, in my perhaps something less than humble opinion. 👍🏿
