This Colt Anaconda is chambered in .45 Colt with a 4.25-inch vent rib barrel, a stainless steel frame and a six-shot fluted cylinder. It wears Hogue rubber grips and an adjustable rear sight, and it is a double-action Snake Gun. The listing marks it as used; the photo shown is a stock image.

At 4.25 inches this Anaconda works as a woods gun, a home-defense revolver or a range piece for a Connecticut owner who likes a big-bore double action. The rubber grips soften the .45 Colt and the adjustable sight lets you zero for your load. The state requires a pistol permit or Handgun Eligibility Certificate, available from 21, before any dealer transfer, and the dealer waits for the DESPP authorization number after your background check. No fixed waiting period applies beyond that, and the purchase counts toward the three-handgun limit in 30 days.
