Greeting's,
I can't address the Colt Anaconda issue, but I own a
Smith & Wesson 629-5 Classic with a 5" barrel. I was
truly amazed with this weapon's double-action; as its
"slick as a baby's butt".
Accuracy is on the par with
any 6" barreled revolver's that I've seen. I did
purchase a set of the Smith & Wesson wooden grip's
with the S&W monogram's for this round-butted gun;
but I have hench gone back to the standard Hogue
monogrip's.
The only thing I don't like about it
is the laser engraved marking's on the barrel.
Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, Life Member N.R.A.
