An Interesting 45 Colt
by looking at the lettering on the barrel im going to have to guess that it isnt a factory gun but a gun someone had custom made. Nice piece though!!

Well Rich has not posted up the 4 inch version of the Colt Anaconda 45 Colt. Here are a couple of 6 inch guns to remind him what 6 looks like.

Thanks Palladin! The Colt Anaconda is a pretty classy handgun. I would love to see Rich's 4 inch version in 45 Colt!

Rich Buddy!

I am pretty sure I sent you my info, I reckon you got pretty busy and could not get up with me on the 4 inch 45 Colt Anaconda! Ok, tell you what I will do, they pretty much all look alike I will send you a photo of one of mine. Since they all pretty much the same I reckon it won't make much difference.

I'm here. Been busy wolf hunting, and took a week in St Louis with my wife to see the Cardinals whomp the cubs two out of three.

I will get pics posted. IIRC, Colt made six four inch before opting not to put them in production.

Rich

How did the wolf hunting go?? Pardon my ignorance but I assume that the cardinals and cubs is some sort of ball game?

Don't worry yourself with pics, they indeed all do look alike! I forget which idiot book said so, but one of the books a few years ago was saying that there was between 6 and 11 of these 4 inch 45 Colt Anacondas made. Well I kept running across a few of them from time to time and would pick them up, UNTIL--- shocker

I ENDED UP WITH 12 of the damn things!!!!!!!

NO CRAP BUCKWHEAT-----TWELVE! Of course that threw the book out all to hell!

Now there are not many of them for sure, but there is more than 6 and more than 11, that I am 100% sure of. I know for a fact where 2 more are local--so that is 14---there were 3 on gunbroker last week, two sold, one still online, that makes 17 and with the one you have that makes 18 of them that I know for a fact is out there.

How many? Who knows, not sure anyone knows exactly. I pondered about trying to find out from Colt, but to be honest I just as soon not know and rather speculate, since I have 12! I would rather speculate at least they made probably 25 of them but I don't think they made anymore than 50 total! TOTAL SPECULATION on my part, no science, no true knowledge thereof!

Damn, I thought this was going to be more funny, now I am depressed as I know you have to be too!

OK what is impressed? That I have so many, or was so stupid I had to find out for myself if there was more than 11 of them? rotflmo

I figure if there was close to 25 of them I own the market with 12 on hand!! HEH!!!!!!!!

When the book said 6-11---after #7 I had to know for sure!!!!!

Poor Rich! Consider how he feels too! I have been waiting and baiting poor Rich since he come out and said he had one, long ago! Hell, it ain't near as funny now as I thought it would be! And I am depressed about it too now!

Rich, you have my apology!

Yeah Yeah Yeah! Well at least you guys are getting something out of this--All are most welcome and I really am glad I can help you out.

Now I probably should not mention the fact that I have over 35 1911 type 45 acps I suppose? But they are not all Colts, a few are Kimbers, even have one Springfield Armory gun, but every damn one of them are 45 ACP!

Also I won't say anything about 100 Winchester M70s---but they all are not the same cartridge?

OK, I think Rich is really pissed with me, not even replying back on this matter! I don't blame him either, I'd be pissed too! Hell I am pissed!
