Even though I love big bore handguns, I didn't have a .44 Magnum. Because I also love S&W revolvers, I've been holding out for a 3" Model 29 or 629. I know they're rare, but I was in no hurry and was waiting for one with the right price, and I figured I'd keep waiting unless something else struck my fancy.
Well... my fancy got struck:
I picked up the beauty above, along with the original box and paperwork, a holster, and a box of ammo (with three rounds missing - supposedly the only three rounds that were fired through it) for $730.
It's a Colt Anaconda in .44 Magnum with an 8" barrel and a superb DA and SA trigger.
Here's the part that pisses me off (a little) - I shoot it better than most of my S&W revolvers. Here's 30 shots on a 9" paper plate at 50 feet:
I think I'm going to keep it.
