CZG has announced that the Anaconda, as well as other firearms in the Snake Gun line will be made at the traditional Colt facility in West Hartford, Connecticut. The merger would allow CZG to expand its global customer base, but also increase its production capacity in the United States and Canada. It is currently listed as “out of stock” on the Colt website.Įarlier this year it was announced that Colt Manufacturing, the company that helped popularize the revolver, was being acquired by the Czech-based Česká zbrojovka Group (CZG) in a deal worth about $220 million and 1.1 million shares of the Czech firm’s stock. Since its introduction last month, the Colt Anaconda has been among the top selling revolvers according to GunBroker. Clearly that has caught the attention of Colt fans.

MSRP for both models is $1,499, which reported is actually less than what vintage models have been selling for in recent years. “Our team was dedicated to making this revival worthy of the Colt name while serving the needs of today’s gun owner.”

“The Anaconda is a legendary piece of the Snake Gun series and fills a unique space in the revolver market,” said Justin Baldini, product director at Colt.

The Anaconda also features a semi-bright finish, a red ramp front sight, target adjustable rear sight, and 1:20 LH 6-groove barrel. The frame is also drilled and tapped for optics so it can be used by handgun hunters. Other features include a leaf-spring action, recoil-absorbing Hogue over-molded grips – interchangeable with Python grips – and fully adjustable sights. 44 Magnum revolver is available with both 6- and 8-inch barrels. The oversized redesign of the Anaconda features the company’s new Python action with an even beefier frame. Now, for 2021 Colt has revived its legendary “Snake Gun” lineup including the King Cobra, Cobra, and Python Series.
