Bought New Colt Anaconda, Instant Issue And Months of Repairs

Posted by oddst1@reddit | Firearms | View on Reddit | 3 comments

I bought a new Colt Anaconda last year. The second time I took it to the range, the trigger would randomly hard stop and the cylinder wouldn’t cycle properly. With .44 mag recoil, it’s pretty unsettling never knowing if the gun is actually going to fire.

I sent it to Colt for repair. They received it on 2/6 and I got it back on 3/3 (26 days later). Opened the box, tested it with snap caps, and immediately had the exact same issue. I sent it back again; they received it on 3/26. It’s now been 55 days. I called asking if they could give me any updates and they couldn't.

I bought this revolver in September and have only been able to shoot it twice. I thought I was buying a premium revolver and this has been a really bad experience. Is there anything I can do?

Here’s a video of the issue if anyone wants to see it:
