The diameter of the frame in front of the cylinder has been increased from 0.894″ to 0.903″ while the diameter of the barrel is up from 0.808″ to 0.825″. Notice the original was basically the same length as the diameter. Cylinder diameter is larger slightly at 1.757″ compared to 1.749″. 44 Magnum loads with the original Keith bullet, but also those with 310- and 325-grain weights with plenty of room to spare. With this length cylinder the New Anaconda not only easily accepts. The cylinder length is now 1.909″ as compared to the 1990s version at 1.749″. I don’t know if they will offer the 4″, but I certainly hope so.Ĭhecking the New Anaconda against the original I found the current version is larger in almost every way. Two barrel lengths are offered, 6″ and 8″ and the first ones out are 6″ versions. Except for the King Cobra-shaped trigger guard, it is a strikingly handsome sixgun, even better looking than either of its parents.” So far all New Anacondas are stainless steel and I don’t expect this to change. 44 Magnum I said this about it: “The Anaconda looks like the healthy offspring of the marriage between a stainless Python and a King Cobra with the barrel being pure Python, albeit larger in diameter, and the rest of the gun definitely descended from the King Cobra. It also is not a copy of the original but more like a larger New Python. All three of these Snakes are available in stainless steel only.Īs of March 22 of 2021 we have the arrival of the fourth Colt Snake, the Anaconda. ![]() Last year the New Python slithered out of the den and although it looks much like the original it has a completely new, and what I would call improved action. ![]() Both were not copies of the originals but new designs. In 2017 the original Colt Serpent, the Cobra, was resurrected and then followed by the King Cobra. Although all the Colt “Snakes” were gone by 2006 it seems they were simply in a long hibernation.
