Serial Number Data Colt firearms enjoy a reputation throughout the world for.The 1st Generation Anacondas were based on the Mk III/Mk V/1st Gen King Cobra action, which does not have the same timing issues as the original Colt action found in the original Python and earlier guns.A few questions on this fine gun - the Colt Anaconda.

Colt Anaconda Production Date Free For Many

All colts had this before 1973 and only the Python and detective special carried it forward after that.The new action uses the best of the old V-spring (bank vault lockup, V-spring power), as well as the best of the old Mark 3 action (transfer bar, S&W style bolt mechanism) to create a really good modern revolver that should be trouble free for many years.The new Python is something, and the Anaconda should be the same.Six and eight inch barrels, only in. This lockup extends the hand on the trigger pull to push the cylinder locked against the bolt stop. Timing issues should be similar, which should be infrequent.My Anaconda from the early 90s has never had a timing problem.These new Colts actually are using something different.The old Mark action guns did not have the bank vault lockup style that the old V-spring guns action did. The 1st Gen King Cobra action was just the Mk V action in a stainless steel gun.I believe all the new Colts use a slightly updated version of this same Mk III/Mk V action.

Coming from a background that is not merely range fun, I value a gun that will fire every time and that I do not have to worry will not fire.And, were I to buy the new Anaconda, I would prefer the four inch, which they have elected not to make. And yes, it leaves more for people who will buy anyway.Personally, I like guns that actually fire when you pull the trigger. Or, something like that.In any event, a Colt that I was truly excited about went off my radar as I do not trust their fix.I know some of you will say, 'don't buy one.' You don't have to tell me that, as I already made that decision on my own. There were other things (I do not include cosmetic issues, which are easier to correct), and Colt's fix for the failure to advance the next charge hole was, if I recall, tighten the sideplate screws tighter and use loctite so when they come loose the hand or pawl does not vibrate up and away from the ratchets. - Range HotRange HotI am glad they are doing it, and I wish them luck.On the other hand, if the action has the same design flaws as the new Python, then it will die a slow death.Gun stores near me cannot give away the Pythons because of the terrible problem of the failure to advance the next charge hole with a DA pull of the trigger.

They are making the best 1911s they have ever made now, and I highly recommend them.These problems were sporadic and are fixed. I really do want them to do well. Sorry Colt revolver fans.And just so you know, I grew up on Jeff Cooper, and have used the 1911 since the mid-70s, and so it is not like I am anti-Colt.

I look down my nose in disgust at most 'new' guns compared to older guns because I see that new designs almost always are a result of incessant cost cutting over the years vs. I'm a HUGE fan of v-spring Colt's (I own five of them), but this new gun is better in almost all regards internally to those old ones. As I said, I really want Colt to do well.Yeah just some updated torque specs and some loctite solved the problem.As with any new release, there are problems sometimes, and those seem to follow the gun (or car, etc.) forever even after fixed.Some people still swear the Beretta 92's slide will crack in half if they shoot it a lot!The new Python is good to go, and BELIEVE ME, I was skeptical. I suppose I am concerned as sideplates have been known to work loose a little, and in the guns that experienced the trouble, there was no visual clue that the sideplate was loose enough to cause the trouble.That said, I respect your thoughts, and will have another look at it. This is coming from someone who has a lot of experience digging through both actions internally.I appreciate your thoughts on this.

( Why didn't I keep that!) They had a problem with the barrels at first and the guns wouldn't shoot magnums very well. I actually had one of the first tool room guns. I was an LE rep for Colt when that gun first came out. They don't know they are supposed to have some play in the cylinder like a S&W.Brother, you are absolutely correct on all that. I've got too many old guns to be buying a new one any time soon.Some people look at a Mk III/Mk V action gun and think it is out of time because it doesn't have the 'bank vault lockup' like the old Colts. I've seen some pics but I haven't handled one yet, let alone take one apart.

Don't dare fall out of a boat with one in your holster.By the way, I hope it goes without saying that my 'rant' about the new Python is no reflection on sigp220.45, for whom I have the highest respect, not only for his contributions here, but for his service to this country in the FBI.So, sigp220.45, if I offended you in any way, please accept my humble apologies. They did get that resolved.It was actually a very rugged gun and sort of over built. It had a few issues when you stuffed a 240 grain bullet at 1470 fps out of it. 44 mag before and used the same tooling they built their.

How bad was it? The nickel finish on the cylinder blew off in the first 50 rounds of ammunition (Remington factory). This was a holy grail gun and too describe it as junk is a insult to scrap yard dealers. Just my opinion, and if you disagree, please ignore me.You don’t owe anyone a apology for expressing your opinion especially on this forum.All this proves is Colt continues to make expensive poor quality guns.My first hand experience was with a new nickel plated 45 Colt SAA I brought around 1996.

I figured out that the chambers were cut. Oh the nickel finish on the frame peeled off so a second trip was needed to the factory.I sent the gun to Bob Munden and he returned it to me with a note that my gun would “not shoot worth a hoot”.
