That thing looks H E A V Y !

But I give Cxxx the credit for making a 4-inch gun with the full-lug type barrel. S&W should have done that with the 629 Classic, but they missed that boat. Hamilton Bowen didn't. He once showed me a 4-inch gun he had made. My immediate reaction was, "What is wrong with S&W?" You hardly need a full-lug barrel on a 6.5- or 8.375-inch .44, but you can sure use one on a 4-inch. 😏

Not a 4" but S&W did 625-5 in 45 Colts with 5" barrels, 1500 I think. . Here's my 1 of 48
625-5s from Accusport.

The Anaconda seems to be built more stoutly than the 625. The Colt will fit in N frame holsters.

Edit: Forgot about my other 25/625s

Good looking revolver, except for that nasty looking lightpipe front sight. (😊) Does it have a blued cylinder? Was that OE or an aftermarket replacement?

Just ordered Starline 45 Colt brass and some 45 Super brass.
From the Starline site:

"Our .45 Colt brass has been tested to 44 Magnum pressures, in gun systems suitable for such loads."

Nice French Horn. 🎶🏴‍☠️🎶

Yes, the cylinder is factory blue, part of the special 48 gun run for Accusport. I have different front sights, including a gold dot. 😀
The grip is a custom monogrip from Hogue in gaboon ebony.
