Key Features

- Green Fiber-Optic Front Sight & Adjustable Rear – Snaps your eye onto the target fast, even in low light. The rear blade adjusts for windage and elevation, letting you dial in loads precisely.
- Hogue Overmolded Rubber Grips – Absorbs .44 Magnum recoil and gives a secure, non-slip hold. The finger grooves align your hand naturally for repeatable trigger control.
- Six-Round Fluted Cylinder – Reduces weight without sacrificing strength. The fluting aids in faster cooling during extended range sessions.
- Double-Action/Single-Action Trigger – Smooth DA pull for rapid follow-ups, crisp SA let-off for precision shots. The trigger is tuned for target work right out of the box.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the collector who appreciates Colt’s heritage, the handgun hunter who wants a reliable .44 Mag for deer or hogs, and the competitive shooter who needs a heavy-frame revolver that holds zero at 50 yards. If you’ve handled a Python and wished for more horsepower, the Anaconda is your next obsession.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Legendary Colt build quality—the Anaconda uses forged stainless steel parts, not cast. It’s built to last generations.
- Pro: The recessed target crown is rare on production revolvers; it’s a feature usually found on custom shop guns. Per Colt specs, this crown improves accuracy potential by protecting the most critical part of the barrel.
- Con: It’s a heavy revolver at 47 ounces. If you plan to carry it in a holster all day, you’ll feel it. This is a range and hunting gun, not a concealed carry piece.
- Pro: Adjustable rear sight with a positive click adjustment—no tools needed for windage or elevation changes.
- Con: The factory grips are excellent for recoil control but may be too large for shooters with smaller hands. Aftermarket options exist, but the Hogue is a solid starting point.

FAQ
Is the Colt Target Anaconda suitable for hunting?
Yes. The .44 Magnum cartridge and 6-inch barrel provide sufficient velocity and energy for deer, hogs, and black bears at reasonable ranges. The stainless steel construction resists weather, and the target crown helps maintain accuracy in field conditions.
What ammunition can I use in this revolver?
The Anaconda is chambered for .44 Magnum and can also safely fire .44 Special rounds. Factory loads from brands like Federal, Hornady, and Winchester work fine. For best accuracy, try 240-grain jacketed soft points or 300-grain hard-cast lead.
Does the Anaconda have a transfer bar safety?
No. The Anaconda uses a hammer block safety. The hammer rests on a spring-loaded block that prevents contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. It’s safe to carry with all six chambers loaded as long as the hammer is down.
How does the trigger compare to the Colt Python?
The Target Anaconda trigger is heavier than a Python’s, but it’s smooth and predictable. In single-action, it breaks around 4 pounds with minimal creep. Double-action is a long, smooth pull—designed for deliberate shots, not speed.
Will this revolver fit holsters made for the original Anaconda?
Most modern holsters for the 6-inch Anaconda will fit the Target model. However, the vent rib and adjustable rear sight may require a holster with an open muzzle or a sight channel. Check with holster makers like Simply Rugged or Galco for specific fitment.
