I got to the indoor range Saturday to shoot the Anaconda for the second time. I took it the local outdoor range the day after I bought it mainly to check for function. All the ammo I shot was either upper mid range or full house magnum loads with Speer 240 grain jacketed soft nose bullets. The target below was at 10 yards and all shots fired were double action.
I was very pleasantly surprised how well I can shoot this gun double action. The target is no trophy for most guys on here, but for me pulling the trigger, it is just damned impressive. I've got to say that I shoot it much better than I shoot the 29. The 29 recoils noticeably harder into the web of my hand.
The one concern I have with the gun is that it had 4 light primer strikes, shooting either Federal 350 or Winchester LPM primers. On the first day I shot it, I had no light strikes, all 4 occurred Saturday. All the rounds fired when I fired them single action.
