My Bowen Redhawk with a 45 Colt Anaconda barrel installed.
That's mighty nice! Thanks for posting.
It looks like a sweet shooter.Thanks. At one time I had a 4” Anaconda in 45 Colt. It was drilled and tapped and I felt it was therefore “weak,” so I sold it. I did eventually pick up a 6” in 45, but I always wanted a 4 inch. When I learned Hamilton Bowen had a limited supply of Anaconda barrels, the deal was struck. I like this better than a 4” Anaconda.
A tank of an action with a classy barrel, I like it better too.I like this better than a 4” Anaconda.
The original Smolts were built on the K-frame as the L-frame didn't yet exist. PCC shooters wanted the more accurate barrel (1-14" twist and choked muzzle) when shooting the Distinguished (non-bull barreled) Match (to keep up with the Python shooters), but they wanted to keep the shorter action of the S&W K-frame.
When S&W introduced the L-frame guns, the Smolt sort of fell by the way side...except for folks who liked the aesthetics of the vert rib.
