I saw a colt anaconda in a gunstore the other day. Way bigger than i expected. You can’t tell how massive it is in this video because how big hickock’s hands are (he’s 6’8” btw)
One can't really appreciate the old man's height until he makes a freaking BAR look _like a reasonably sized rifle, lolz._ It's impressive to see him firing it in auto,
You're an example to the entire firearms community, the way you handle that beautiful revolver. Instinctively keeping the muzzle down and away from causing harm, finger off the trigger. Wonderful. Thanks very much Mr H. And wood grips would be terrific.
I bought an Anaconda 8" barrel in 2009, (I still have it!) it was manufactured in the 90's in Hartford which is special to me because I am from CT! I'm glad Colt started up the big snake line again! Beautiful revolvers!!!
Thanks Hickok for everything. I got into handguns I think about 8 years ago. You were my guide when I bought my first handgun (I was into hunting/shotguns prior), an S&W 686+. I still love that video where you shoot all the cans and stuff on twigs, and then you had a split case. And the bandaid! Now I need to watch again! I carried it, then tried striker fired semi auto stuff, and now (thousands of $ later) am back to the 686+ for EDC. Love my 44 mag Smith too. Thanks for years of guidance. Also, I love zoning out to your Sunday episodes, I am an insomniac and wake up at
I love my 686's too. My 686+ with the 3-inch barrel is a great farm gun. I came up with a slogan that I even had printed on a tee shirt: "686+ / Six for sure / Seven for damn'd sure!" The slashes where each new line starts. Enjoy! --Old Guy
I bought my first revolver after seeing Rick's Colt Python on the Walking Dead. At the time Colts weren't the easiest to get a hold of, so I went with a 6" Smith 686, which may still be my favorite revolver. That said, these new Colts look gorgeous and I'd love to have one.
That's the EXACT same gun I bought for the same reason lol the Colt was too expensive and the 686+ gave me an extra shot and the pretty grayish color wood grips came on mine
I bought one just about the same time as you hickok45 and I absolutely love the smoothness of the double action. When seeing your video, I knew I did the right thing. I got the 8 inch barrel and love the reduced recoil. It was a hit a the range with everyone.
There is just a certain charm to a revolver. My first revolver was my grandads smith and Wesson model 66. Still have it and I love that thing. It’s really beautiful.
I first became interested in Colt revolvers watching Avery Brook’s portrayal of “Hawk” in the television series Spenser for Hire. His steely cold stare while drawing that shiny Python never failed to establish arms superiority.
@@jrcharles3 - In paperbacks Hawk’s character used a variety of hand cannons from a Model 29 to an AutoMag but in the early tv episodes his persona was polished up as the strong silent type with an eye for style- the Colt Python. As ratings waned and the show neared the end of its run Hawk appeared with a variety of ostentatious weapons.
@@jrcharles3 I was a big fan of Spencer For Hire, Hawk definitely used a "Brite stainless" 8 inch Python for all episodes I saw. I did see an image of a poster from the spinoff "A Man Called Hawk" where Hawk has a black 5.5 inch Redhawk revolver.
Some old guy on YT kept saying that if you don't own a revolver, there is something wrong with you. And since I went for over 50 years of owning only semi auto handguns, I decided to listen to the old dude and ended up with a few now including the Colt King Cobra Target. And I have the same issue, I would like some wood grips for it. Not a fan of the rubber. But it is a smooth gun.
I think for a 44 magnum, you really have to have a good technique and that’s what’s wrong with people using it. It’s fun to shoot no matter what if you got that
That handgun absolutely deserves grips that match the quality, fit, and finish. The rubber grips should be a bonus they throw in for what they make you pay for one!
Yep, a gorgeous handgun should have some gorgeous grips. Colt would have just offered the same thin grips they put on the new Python most likely if they'd offered wooden grips on it. Would not have helped ME a bit. I'll eventually find some nice wooden grips at a gun show. Can't trust ordering any online unless I'm convinced they are thick enough for me.
Last year I bought a very lightly used stainless 1997 8” Anaconda in .45lc and like Hickok I was a “Smith” guy as it’s what I learned on but 1911’s are my passion,,, but this Anaconda is sooo smooth & slick operating, quite accurate as well , might be a Colt convert ! Beautiful gun !
Hey John, your camera work is amassing, thankyou for taking me up close on your pops vids. They are so much entertaining . Hello from Australia mate. ✌✌
I have a 454 casull raging bull and shoot 45LC, but didn't think 44mag and 45 LC wouldn't shoot out of a same chamber, but do they? or are you saying anaconda specifically for 45 LC?
I picked up a Taurus 454 casul several years ago expecting to use it for hog hunting. But afterwards found out I had cancer, fought it, now a survivor , but back to the gun found out it had a problem locking the cylinder in. So I sent it out to Taurus to get fixed. Once fixed looking to sell and get me a 44.
The new Colt Anaconda is hard to beat, sweet trigger and strong as the Ruger Redhawk. I would say that Colt have just set the standard for all to follow. I love my Ruger, but the CA have a way better trigger, and the S&W Mod 29 I have feel very fragile next to the CA. Good job Colt, this is how you do it.
The model 29 ISN'T fragile, so it's just an overbuilt gun. I just traded for a 44 magnum nightguard, which is a 2.5" scandium frame. It doesn't feel fragile and the recoil isn't that bad.
@@bobjohnson1633 It definitely feel fragile to me, at least next to the Anaconda and the Ruger. This is un-debatable. I do not say it is fragile, they definitely have proven to hold their own with thousands and thousands of rounds fired. It is also not questionable there are ammo makers that do not recommend to use their ammo in a mod 29, but is recommending to use it in stronger guns like the Ruger. I know there are ammo I would not use in it, but would not have any issue using in my Ruger or colt AC.
Have the same exact 2021 8” Anaconda, love it. Also love your videos. I Use to swear by my smiths. Still love my SW460, and some of my other SWs . But I do believe my 21 model 8” Anaconda is now days my favorite 44 mag revolver.
Before John " swallowed a bug" you had a caseing in the cylinder either live or dead I think that's why John stopped the video an I say thank you sir! Even if you think you empty ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK !!
I caught that as well. It was dead (primer was dimpled and fired 6) But I was wondering how many comments I had to scroll through to see if anyone else noticed that. (Technically they could have edited that entire scene out)
You know you can really tell how well it's made. Just how the cylinder correctly. Just falls back in to the frame by itself. And thank you for so much for not calling it a wheel gun that drives me nuts lol. There's a lot of people out there calling him that show me yuppie you have a good evening
@scott holley I'm wanting a Colt Anaconda and my son wants a Python.. I have a vintage Model 29 Smith blue finish 4inch barrel it's a pearl. Also have a 686 plus and,a couple Ruger revolvers. I'd love to have the 460magnum Smith just because of the speed. Like you said I have several Semi s as well love every gun I own 👍👍👍
Having studied many subject matters...the Colt revolver is an exceptional tool....and it's purpose should be studied and revered. It is both a work of art and an instrument of destruction....it is the beholder and the maker who hopes that this instrument will be wielded for the utmost and importance of causes....Life and Liberty
I got my hands on a 6" model this spring (couldn't find an 8") and I really like it. I have a first gen in 8" with the ported barrel, the trigger is much better on the second gen gun.
Weirdly, I have been watching your channel for 7+ years and I think this is the first time I’ve seen a shadow of any of the equipment. Did you finally shoot enough to change the sun’s path over the compound?
I have a 5rd Ruger Vaquero stainless 7 1/2brl revolver and its pretty big. I can only imagine this Colt being huge with a 6rd cylinder and a full underlug and full size grip. Good lord, hickoks hands must be giant.
Sometime in the early 90s a friend bought an 8 inch Anaconda in .44mag. I absolutely fell in love with it. Perhaps he'd gotten lucky with the particular example, but for me at least it shot to point of intent, let alone aim, you just rolled it out there and there it was, always on target. What's a bit crazy about it is that at the time I was all of 16, 5'8 and maybe 130lbs, and still that monster just worked for me, I couldn't miss! Alas I also couldn't get him to ever part with that BFR.
I had a S/W 44 Mag. 8 & 3/4 inch barrel. Came in a wooden box. Sold it a few years ago. What was I thinking😳. Love your show keep ip the great work.👍👍👍👍👍
I still have my blued model 29 in 8 3/4 inch barrel in wooden presentation box with the screwdriver and papers that came along with it.Bought new in 1979. I have a model 29 6" barrel with unfluted cylinder,a model 29 classic DX.I could have bought an anaconda,a trooper back then I see plenty of them common on gun shops.I bought a 6" ss phyton instead.I don't worry about the one I buy,it's the one I didn't buy is the one I worry about.
I have the Smith and Wesson 44 magnum model 69 in the 2.75 inch barrel and love it. Fun as hell to shoot with specials all day. Magnums can be a bit of a handful.
I have a 686+ 6" and a 629 Classic 6½", but I have always longed for the Colt Anaconda 8". I looked for one for a couple of years in local gun shops, but eventually gave up. Thanks for letting me dream through your video!
The laws changed in Canada and I had to buy my dream guns so I purchased one of these ….. the ammo is expensive up here. My range captain is going to show me the ins and out this week …. Can’t wait ! PS : I paid almost $3900.00 CDN to get this I wanted it so bad …. It is a good looking firearm and does what it is supposed to do. We are not allowed suppressors in Canada.
My next purchase is gonna be a revolver. A .357 or 44magnum! 💪💪💪💪💪 I love the SMITH & WESSON 686+. I rented a 629 once at a local range.... And fell in love with it!!! They are 100%🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 POWER and BEAUTY!!!
Right out of the box, how would rate the feel and quality of the single action of both, the Colt and S&W revolvers? Same, or one better than the other?
Back in the '80s I got to spend a lot of time with an old Python. Best shooting, and most accurate revolver of ANY caliber I've ever shot, to this day.
This is Rick Grimes’ revolver in The Walking Dead iirc. Absolute hand cannon, hopefully I’ll be able to shoot or even own own one. Good shooting as always hickock, well done.
Hickok I have been watching you shoot for many years now especially the old School Mod 29! You have the best RUclips shooting channel of them all! I am going to have to check out the Anaconda. I have the new Python but that Anaconda looks pretty cool!
Hey Hickok, I bought some wooden grips from this place in Sparta, Tn called Deer Hollow Enterprises and they are top notch they are replicas of the old python grips. I bought them for my new 2020 python, and I like them a lot better than the factory grips and they look exactly like the original old python factory grips. Just throwing that out there if you want some factory like wooden grips, they do a awesome job.
I just bought one of these in the 8 inch as well! It started my collection of the new style snake guns followed by the 6 inch Python and the 3 inch King Cobra! Thank you for y’all’s content! Keep up the good work!
Bianchi makes the X15 extra large vertical carry shoulder holster that is good for carrying the long barrel Anaconda or the long barrel 629. Adjusted properly the weight is distributed between both shoulders and the waist belt. I love mine. Just a long sleeve shirt untucked conceals it. May take a little trial and error to get it adjusted right for maximum comfort but it is worth it.
Mr. Hickok, have you looked into the Wilson Combat sights for this gun? I just added the rear sight (front fiber optic is on the way) to mine and really like the improved sight picture. Haven't shot it yet with the new sight (waiting for the front to arrive) but thought I'd mention it.
There is something about a revolver....! That watermelon never stood a chance. I have a 1993 8" model. I believe the accuracy issues were worked out by then. These new ones look nice. Like you said, they are beautiful. This makes me want to go out and shoot mine, Also makes me want a new one. lol
I had a 3" 629 with the round butt, it was a nasty beast with .44 Magnum. Very unpleasant. My FFL friend has/had an original blued Python, if he still has it come Spring I might try to buy it. It's in new condition in the box, truly a thing of beauty, old Colt bluing is incredible.

Also in one episode he refers to his revolver as a 44 mag so it might actually be an anaconda
@@joeyphillips1181 yeah in the early seasons ricks gun is always a .357 but in season 4 or 5 with terminus he refers to it as a .44, good catch.

Back in the '80s I got to spend a lot of time with an old Python. Best shooting, and most accurate revolver of ANY caliber I've ever shot, to this day.
The Man has way to much fun at his age...did I say Man? I mean, Hikok45.
Altamont has really nice furniture and is an OEM Supplier for several major gun makers. Shop their close outs for real steals.
Sweet revolver. I'm so happy it has found a home at The Compound.
I’m surprised at the bad reviews on Colt’s 1911s but I hear more good things about their revolvers.
We've all seen S&W vs Ruger Redhawk. But I think we need all 3 vs video. 44 off 😂
This is Rick Grimes’ revolver in The Walking Dead iirc. Absolute hand cannon, hopefully I’ll be able to shoot or even own own one. Good shooting as always hickock, well done.
I believe it was a 357 Colt Python he used in the Walking Dead
@@johnszorc7481 correct
@@johnszorc7481 yep
Just picked up an 8” today from my LGS. Awesome gun!
Hickok I have been watching you shoot for many years now especially the old School Mod 29! You have the best RUclips shooting channel of them all! I am going to have to check out the Anaconda. I have the new Python but that Anaconda looks pretty cool!
This will be my next gun! My local gun shop has one on order for me. I can't wait for it to arrive.
It's on my list. Someday I'll have one. Gorgeous gun. I want one in 6"
Hey Hickok, I bought some wooden grips from this place in Sparta, Tn called Deer Hollow Enterprises and they are top notch they are replicas of the old python grips. I bought them for my new 2020 python, and I like them a lot better than the factory grips and they look exactly like the original old python factory grips. Just throwing that out there if you want some factory like wooden grips, they do a awesome job.
I just bought one of these in the 8 inch as well! It started my collection of the new style snake guns followed by the 6 inch Python and the 3 inch King Cobra! Thank you for y’all’s content! Keep up the good work!
The accuracy this man has got my god🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely a pretty gun. One of those would look great next to my pretty, old Marlin 1894ss in .44 magnum.
Keep up the good reviews h town
This is 8 inches…and it’s MINE…😂 you do have the best one liners man I have to say
This is very beautiful gun, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Bianchi makes the X15 extra large vertical carry shoulder holster that is good for carrying the long barrel Anaconda or the long barrel 629. Adjusted properly the weight is distributed between both shoulders and the waist belt. I love mine. Just a long sleeve shirt untucked conceals it. May take a little trial and error to get it adjusted right for maximum comfort but it is worth it.
Mr. Hickok, have you looked into the Wilson Combat sights for this gun? I just added the rear sight (front fiber optic is on the way) to mine and really like the improved sight picture. Haven't shot it yet with the new sight (waiting for the front to arrive) but thought I'd mention it.
Yes, that's what I have on it now, which I've shown in at least one video since this one.
Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know, and I will check it out. New to your channel, and thoroughly enjoying it.@@hickok45
Also, I put Hogue rosewood grips on it. They are very slightly larger than the rubber ones, and look really, really good.@@hickok45
Land of the Freeeeeee and the Home of the Braaaaaaaave🌞👍🇺🇸🛐
I have Smith revolvers but this beautiful Colt is something out of this world. I will purchase one in the near future.
There is something about a revolver....! That watermelon never stood a chance. I have a 1993 8" model. I believe the accuracy issues were worked out by then. These new ones look nice. Like you said, they are beautiful. This makes me want to go out and shoot mine, Also makes me want a new one. lol
Just got to the part where you said your Python is an 81. I have an 81 python as well, with the wooden grips!
The old anacondas have different triggers than the pythons. The new anacondas are just large pythons. Might consider getting a new one
Nice gun. I have the raging bull 44 mag. 6 1/2 inch barrel. AND I LOVE THIS THING..
"I heard a pistol shoot, yeah it was a 44"
I can't stop laughing at the "I tell ya hwhat" 😂
(Is Hank Hill there)?😁
The plow handle like on a Ruger .44 magnum rolls in your hand unlike the rubber grip with a hump at the top to absorb the recoil on DA revolver.
Love this Colt!! Thanks for the video!!
I had a 3" 629 with the round butt, it was a nasty beast with .44 Magnum. Very unpleasant. My FFL friend has/had an original blued Python, if he still has it come Spring I might try to buy it. It's in new condition in the box, truly a thing of beauty, old Colt bluing is incredible.
Most satisfying video ever ;) The loading and the shot :o
