How many Colt anaconda realtree como were produced?

How could the Anaconda be designed to rival the Smith and Wesson 29 when the 29 came a year after the Anaconda? Shouldn't it be the other way around? 72.197.133.100 22:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WTF???

Dude. Slap yourself for making that comment. Smith & Wesson, through a joint venture with remington, invented the .44 magnum in the late 1950's. Colt's .44 magnum Anaconda was merely a brief venture into territory that Smith & Wesson had long since pioneered with the only source of competition coming from Sturm Ruger Corp. (who scrambled frantically to produce the .44 magnum Ruger Blackhawk after finding a few spent .44 magnum rounds in S&W's trashcans).

Although I love all of my Colt firearms, they regretfully waited about thirty years to jump onto the .44 Magnum bandwagon that Smith & Wesson and Ruger made popular.

Also, the revolver in Half-Life 2 is actually the Colt Python. The Colt Anaconda was NEVER chambered for .357 Magnum.

[edit] "Best selling" vs "due to lack of sales"

Curious juxtaposition. Which is it? 67.142.130.24 21:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The Anaconda came way after the S&W Model 29! The 29 was originally offered to the public in 1955. The Colt Anaconda not until 1980+/-.

The Colt Anaconda was offered in caliber .45 Colt as well as the .44 Magnum and as someone else mentioned the Real Tree cammo finish as well as stainless steel.

[edit] Wow!

I just want to say that I went up Redington Pass and shot my Anaconda .44 Mag 6" bbl. today. Damn, it was fun! It is very comfortable to shoot. A VAST improvement for shooting compared to a SA .44 Mag like the Ruger Super Blackhawk. Shooting the latter splits the web of skin between your thumb and your index finger. Shooting the Anaconda is very nice. Just a wonderful gun. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.142.130.25 (talk) 01:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
