1997 Colt Anaconda MM3060 6" .44 Magnum Double Action Ported Revolver, Box & Letter Our Assessment: Colt introduced the Anaconda built on a new, heavy "AA" frame to compete with the Ruger Redhawk and S&W Model 29 revolvers. Our impression is that this revolver probably offers a smoother double action pull than the Ruger and is more rugged than the S&W. This revolver is great for hunting using .44 Magnum cartridges and with .44 Special for casual days at the range. This pistol comes in its original plastic case and with a letter from Colt. As this revolver has factory porting, it will be more comfortable to shoot than many .44 Magnums, but it will also make a tempting item for a Colt collection, especially with the box and letter. This revolver is in excellent condition with about 98% of its stainless finish and little sign of use. Please see our photos and good luck!
