Colt went over and above building the new anaconda is a sugar-coated understatement!!! I own both the 2020 Python and 2021 Anaconda (just like you) and I honestly believe the 2021 Anaconda is by far the strongest and best revolver Colt has ever built. The cylinder is massive and easily 1/4" longer, wider, and thicker than an S&W 629 or a Ruger Super Redhawk. I really think Colt overbuilt the Anaconda to be ready to scale up for a 45 Colt - 454 Casull version in the future.

My heart skipped a beat at 1:35 when his screwdriver slipped 😮

I was super relieved when I found out you use protective screwdrivers. If a gun like that get scratched it becomes useless. Kudos for wearing gloves when handling that beauty.

That Wilson Combat rear sight is worlds apart from the standard one that comes with the gun

I saw a similar disassembly/reassembly video on the new Python where the mainspring was installed using curved snap ring pliers. It might be a way to minimize frustration. Thanks for this video. I've been waiting for someone to do exactly what you've done!

Good to see the guts of my revolver since I'm too afraid to pull mine apart unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm 100 percent satisfied with the python and anaconda I got. There were a few problems with the first 44 but colt was great and fixed them for no charge and now I have a beautiful slug slinger. And holy hell can that thing handle some hand loads. I've fired a few real stanky rounds from it and aside from the recoil being painful, the gun took it like a champ. On that note I was pleased to see that the anaconda was among the guns that can withstand Buffalo bores "what the hell was I thinking?!?!" rounds. Not that I'm going to rush out to buy some 300gr bear clobberers. But...good to know.

Can you show a closeup of the hammer strut spring?

I would never be able to put up with plastic gloves, even I know they are recommended, but, man, what a loss of tactile sensations! Loved the video in any case

Glad to see this video. I don't have a 44magnum revolver so I been studying most of them. Your video has convince me to buy the new Anaconda. Lots of good comments about it here and many other sites. Thank you.

wow they took a page from S&W this is just a scaled up Python, much better than the First gen Anaconda I had A very simple and well made action.

And in my uneducated from experience opinion I think this 2020 version double action 44 magnum is the best designed revolver for double action now made. Using the Colt Python 2020 linear spring action.

Nice video . I would have lubed the internals while I was in there. Couldn’t hurt.

I just bought the new colt python, any recommendations on a holster I should use? 6 inch barrel on it

🖖🌻

Question, I have to disassemble this revolver to transfer it, i just need to remove the cylinder. I have seen this is the first thing you did in the video. Is it just the one screw that holds it in place? Just want to make sure there are no other parts i might loose accidentally. Thanks for the videos

is that the grip from Python? Was wondering on what grip options I have for the Anaconda as not a fan of the black rubber...wasn't sure if the python grip would fit!

I can only hope that screw driver was plastic

That cylinder bolt looks very fragile to me for a gun this powerful. Same as the one in the Python. They should have beefed it up a little more.

Where did you buy that grip?

I guess it's a colt thing, no narration only strange background music instead of explaining what the supposed differences & improvements were.
