The new Anaconda cylinder and Kodiak cylinder is longer and handles the Garrett Cartridges of Texas +P 330 grain Hammer Head cast lead gas check load as well as the Buffalo Bore +P+ 340 grain hard cast gas check loads.
@Kevin-s7s is it i only they made only 2k of original kodiak but they are going to stop making these? What about the Talo exclusive with wooden grips? Limited too?
I appreciate the feedback. I often feel like people get way tired of looking at me, so I try to mix it up. But I can certainly see your point. I usually try to keep the target in a small window.
By group size alone, that Hornady Custom load shot lights out. I've always had really consistent terminal performance on game from the XTP as well. The 4.25 inch .44 is a good all-around choice for the woods and the hoods, if you have a good holster. This model could be a contender for a one revolver to rule them all, from the bedstand to the trail. Smooth shooting, reliable, and versatile, with class and an added level of potency for those of us who abide by the philosophy of FAFO.
S&W made for a time the Mountain Gun in 44 mag and 45 Long Colt. I had both. These were 4" stainless models with tapered barrels. This Colt reminds me of those old 90s Mt guns. I wish I could say I have had better luck with Colt than I have. The Officers ACP I got rid of because you could not trust the safety. Then I had a 38 Colt reovolver which I loved to look at but it was one with a faulty lock up so it became a general pain. Then I got that King Cobra and that is nice. I have to admit I like that one. I'll definitely be checking these Kodiaks out in Tulsa next time to town though thanks! I found a whole bunch of 44 spcl. and 44 mag ammo the other day looking for 410 ammo and I don't even have a 44 anymore so this was perfect timing!
My Grandfather and I bought one each also. Those things were really great shooters. Like a complete idiot I so.d mine and my inherited my Grandfather’s.
Disagree. This revolver, and all in this category, were originally designed to be go anywhere, do anything field pieces. Capable of any field task for an outdoorsman, easy to carry in a cartridge both capable and versatile beyond most. The inventor of the 44 magnum cartridge did not envision it a dangerous game cartridge and carried a 4" M29 on his ranch for everyday use from pests, to hunting, foraging, and protection. This revolver will excel in the same role today.
@@christofonobrown3659 - Are your "other" Anacondas the original series or the new design? I have 4 of the recent design and the actions are all the same. Other than the finish, the non-fluted cylinder, the roll mark Kodiak and the magna-porting I have not seen any difference. I do have one of the older Anacondas and it is very different. (And not in a good way.)
@ I have the 4.25 and 6” new design. Was looking to pickup the 8” and saw the Kodiak. On the Kodiak I purchased the trigger was obviously nicer than the 8” (also new and unfired just like the Kodiak) and when I brought the Kodiak home it was also nicer than my Anacondas (each under 1000 rounds). Maybe through manufacturing tolerances my Kodiak ended up in a sweet place?
So far I like what I see from this revolver , I too carry my .44 mag with me when I’m out there in the field ! I’ve fired a lot of Colts over the years and liked the accuracy and function of the firearm!
Great video thank for reviewing this firearm. However I do have a question unrelated to the video. What kind of glasses are you wearing, and do the lenses make everything real dark?
I love mine and carry it in the backcountry up here in alaska, but after 10 or so hardcast bear loads, the exposed frame on the backstrap really hurts the base of your thumb. I wish an aftermarket company would start making full grips.
Holding a 9# gun and taking 200 rounds of punishment to your hands, shoulders and back, Wow, you’re a tough man Justin O! Well done review, much appreciated.
Man . Your group with the Hornady customer was great. Would you choose that ammo. For your home defense chose? And do you feel that the Kodiak musel brake really helps? Thanks for the review. Side note: I have a Ruger Alaskan 2-1/2" Barrel. 44 mag. It's really nice with similar hot loads.
You made my lip quiver when you said 2-1/2" barrel! I have had great results with Hornady defense loads in most calibers. To really compare them closely I'd want to rest the gun, but I agree - that group was really good. I'd have no problem keeping it loaded with those rounds! Thanks for the comment. And oh yeah - I do think the ported barrel does help. I have a S&W 44 mag with compensator, and need to do a comparison.
great video and camerawork, thanks so much. Btw are you perhaps planning on making a video on the SW 460v 5inch, that would be a cool comparion to the Kodiak.
I’ve got the new Anaconda, great gun, smooth as glass, the rear sight is the only problem I’ve had. Had to replace it because the blade fell off somewhere. Wilson combat is a good replacement if you have a similar issue.
I still own my Anaconda that I bought in 1994 for $450 New. I looked at the Kodiak the other day and its a very nice wheel gun, Cz is doing a great job with Colt these days. The price of the Kodiak is a little higher than my Anaconda was lol.
bonjour magnifique vidéo explicative sur ce colt kodiak en calibre 44 magnum il est superbe en canon cours ainsi merci pour la qualité de votre travail et ce partage vidéo cordialement
I picked up an 8inch barrel anaconda. One of the best pistols i own. The fit, finish and feel are insane. I do like the porting on the kodiak, might send my anaconda to magna port to be ported.
I used to be a S&W revolver guy, until I bought them. Had a 4" 629 that would have safety flag engage every third round along with cylinder lock up. A Model 10 that would only half rotate cylinder, and a 29 that the barrel unscrews as you fire it. S&W responded to 0 of my repair claims and will hang up if you call in. I will never touch another S&W in my life. Colt revolvers are the only way I'll be going from now on.
@@filtonkingswood Yup. Only S&W that worked was 686 plus, had a 7" barrel. Was one that went to a trade for a Colt King Cobra with a 3" barrel. Put 100 rounds dowb it the momment I got it. Flawless
Mag ported 3” m629 vs 4” m29? The mag ported 629 def behaves better under recoil. The style of porting colt is using here is somewhat more efficient. Is there enough to tell a difference between the Colt porting vs Magnaport style. Maybe but I have my doubts.
Watch a video of a 2021 Anaconda with an unported, solid 4.25" barrel and the new Kodiak. You will see the difference and reduction in flip up and recoil. Yes, in a perfect world a side by side of the two guns would have been neat, but most people don't have $3,000 laying around to buy two revolvers just to show the difference on a video.
@@smithn.wesson495From the looks of it, my magna ported 629-2e recoils less at 3in the pistol in this video. This pistol looks like it flips up twice as much.
Recently purchased a (brand new) Colt Anaconda …light primer strikes and trigger reset have been major issues (44 special and 44 mag) …it’s going back to the factory still waiting 2 days after contacting Colt for the RMA 😒
@@theshuzyou should carry both. Look up "Efficacy of Bear Deterrent Spray in Alaska". It's an interesting study and an interesting read. Spray is about 92% effective by the numbers, so there is a real discussion to be had about which is more effective. The real deciding factor would be individual proficiency with both spray and firearms. Standing at 7 yards and shooting a static paper target twice a year isn't training. But now I'm rambling on. My point would be this: carry BOTH and become proficient with BOTH.
Don’t forget the big blade knife and the trigger guard lanyard. Because terrain differs on the move and weather conditions can change quickly. missteps and stumbles can have unexpected results. this is why it’s prudent to have some experience of discharging a firearm while lying on your back because natural predators won’t be giving you time to get back on your feet!
Lower the rear sight.......don't settle for such a high shot placement. I don't know why but most revolvers come with the rear sight ( if adjustable ) set very high. Lower the damn thing, don't be afraid. Lower the sight, lower the sight, lower the sight. Anyway, I am intrigued by these new offerings from Colt.
I got my Anaconda back in 1994, just a suggestion, when shooting with 2 hands and single action, try hammering back with your 'off-hand' this way you are not repositioning your grip every time you hammer back. I was taught this by a Camp Perry Champion back when I first got it, he was right, my accuracy improved.
Absolutely right. I have been shooting for over 50 years. The grip for a semi is totally different from a wheel gun. For the revolvers, I always wrap my left thumb behind the hammer and use it to cock the hammer. My grip never changes. As I am getting older, my grip is not what it used to be, but it still works. The 44 is my favorite gun --- I have 5 S&W's in the 44 (the latest is a Model 69 --- five shooter and lighter --- it is not as much fun to shoot as my other 29's and 629's). My only Colt wheel gun is an older Python (was my dad's --- he got it from a Hells Angel that he hired to do 'guard duty' for him in the 70's in Pasadena Ca). It is very nice and the trigger is great --- but so are the Smiths. There is absolutely no sound quite as nice as a revolver as it is being cocked single action (well, maybe a pump shotgun).....
You seem to be experiencing the same shooting high issue I had with a new 6” anaconda, with the rear sight all the way down it was shooting 8 inches high at 25 yards. You can find oversize sight blanks online, which is what I did and I’m in the process of shaping me a new front sight that is much taller than the .180 inch sight that comes standard on the revolver. I did not want to send the revolver back because the groups are incredible, five shot three-quarter inch groups seem to be the norm for that gun, they were just insanely high.
Dillon Optics. They have matte lenses - polarized. I have sensitive eyes and love them - with the extra bonus that you don't see lots of reflections of my cameras.
My next 44 will be a 6 1/2 inch as shown in testing to get the maximum velocity with 44 magnums you do need 6 1/2 inches .. so says testing on whoever wrote the article in guns and ammo a few years back.. thanks nice gun for sure 👍
Great gun colt knows what there doing, i want one. But if your going to call it a kodiak i want a 460 mag or 500 mag lager framed version. I think the 44 mag is neat but id buy a 460 colt kodiak
Massed Ayoob had a video on that. If you tilt a Colt backwards (so it rotates clockwise) in your right hand, the cylinder release will end up right under your thumb, ready for you to push down and while your left hand comes around a pops the cylinder out, at which point the cases start to immediately fall. So many people try to pull on the release while keeping the gun in the same horizontal position you would a Smith. It’s really pretty smooth when you get the hang of it. Colt > tilt>pull down>pop. Smith > push forward>pop>tilt.
I couldn't help but to notice that your hands were shaking a little. I guess just from holding up the weight of the gun. I'd like to see how it performs in a vice.
You folks in the US are so lucky to have the second ammendment, here in the UK we are not so fortunate, there is no right to bear arms here in the UK and hand guns are banned altogether. But its a "free" country apparently.
Our Second Amendment is constantly threatened, and too often ignored by activist judges. One would think that "shall not be infringed" is about as simply put as needed, but it is often ignored. I think freedom is reserved for those who can purchase it. If you have enough wealth, fame, or influence - you become above the law - the rest of us live under the heel of a boot.
CZ is doing a great job on the Colt revolvers!
Cz always does a great job @ everything
The new Anaconda cylinder and Kodiak cylinder is longer and handles the Garrett Cartridges of Texas +P 330 grain Hammer Head cast lead gas check load as well as the Buffalo Bore +P+ 340 grain hard cast gas check loads.
Nice!
Definite improvement. Kind of pointless if it wouldn’t accept cartridges up to 1.720” or so.
Since which year 2021?
That's good info.. the only revolver that has that capability was the Ruger Super red hawk wish I didn't get rid of mine.

If you tilt a Colt backwards (so it rotates clockwise) in your right hand, the cylinder release will end up right under your thumb, ready for you to push down and while your left hand comes around a pops the cylinder out, at which point the cases start to immediately fall. So many people try to pull on the release while keeping the gun in the same horizontal position you would a Smith. It’s really pretty smooth when you get the hang of it. Colt > tilt>pull down>pop. Smith > push forward>pop>tilt.
Mas has everything figured out!
You shoot the 44 Magnum better than the 357 Python.
I couldn't help but to notice that your hands were shaking a little. I guess just from holding up the weight of the gun. I'd like to see how it performs in a vice.

I’m thinking big city edc.
The 44 special less expensive than the 44 magnum?
Yes
You folks in the US are so lucky to have the second ammendment, here in the UK we are not so fortunate, there is no right to bear arms here in the UK and hand guns are banned altogether. But its a "free" country apparently.
Our Second Amendment is constantly threatened, and too often ignored by activist judges. One would think that "shall not be infringed" is about as simply put as needed, but it is often ignored. I think freedom is reserved for those who can purchase it. If you have enough wealth, fame, or influence - you become above the law - the rest of us live under the heel of a boot.
