New CZ/Colt Kodiak .44 Magnum

[Breakaway500]

Once again....Colt has hit it out of the ballpark.

Shot it out back..the double action is smooth and SA is crisp.

Great sights, perfect grips. I even like the porting.

Best part is the wider trigger. And..it fits in my N frame holsters.

If they make this in a 2.5" barrel, Ill buy one of those as well.

Low serial number possibly? No matter,just something I noticed.

Good to have choices. I sure wish S&W cared enough to at least try and keep classic revolver people happy.

Nice. I’ve got the regular 4.25” Anaconda. I would like to see this in a short barrel as well, not sure if a 2.5” will result in a full length ejector rod but 3” would.

Magnaport does a 2.5 or 3” Anaconda

Colt is killing it.

Damn nice, OP!

I'm hoping for a 4 inch blued Anaconda in 45 Colt. I am enjoying my 4 inch blued Python so far.

Colt is killing it. I wish they would have put Bear Paw Prints on the non-fluted cylinder for the new Kodiak though. Weren’t they there on the original.

CZ has been killing it for a while.

45Colt Please

Česká zbrojovka (CZ) is definitely improving
Colt better than they found them.

Now Česká zbrojovka (CZ) Colt just needs to
reintroduce that Anaconda 45Colt.

Colt is back in the game! They are shiping the best quality in many years.

Forget .45 Colt, that makes no sense when I be gun could easily handle 454. Then you could fire both.

How does the Kodiak differ from the Anaconda, other than the non-fluted cylinder?

A long while. CZ has been killing it since they started making guns. I think all of their guns (shotgun, rifle, pistol, revolver) are one of the best values for the money on the market today. Everything they make is high quality at a moderate price. I was happy to see them buy Colt. They are doing it the justice I had hoped for.

I like that more than I care to admit. The thick frame has a bit of a Trooper vibe to it. I was leaning towards a 5 inch 29 or 629 full lug (If I could find one) for my "bonus" revolver this year, but this one might jump in it's place....

 

[Breakaway500]

Basically the same as the Anaconda only it has a non fluted cylinder and factory porting.

it does have a bear paw on the barrel,just like the 70s version. (and the 70s version did not have bear paws on the cylinder)

[BAM-BAM]

CZ has resurrected the dead!

CZ has done great things at Colt. I love both and own both, the biggest difference is every year my Colts have gone down in price, while S & W's have gone up.

Compare apples to apples and you will see older classic Colts are increasing as much (maybe more) than S&Ws.

Buy any new revolver (or most any gun) and you will have to discount it to sell,unless it is something really special and no longer available,like a one year run of something that's in demand.

I'm buying the new Colts because they are a great product for my tastes and needs. I've even bought a few Kimbers and Rugers.

I can't remember the last new S&W purchased.Probably a J frame or two.

When I open my wallet..a Colt falls out!

Agree 100%. CZ makes fine products.

Wait, 70s version? IIRC wasn't the Anaconda a late 80s/90s gun? These guns didn't exist in the 70s (or so I thought.)
