I know I’ll make a bunch of people mad saying this but I wouldn’t trade a 686 for a colt snake gun if I had to keep it.
After having several buddies who had them I believe they are more trouble than they are worth. They do have very slick actions but don’t hold up to lots of shooting.
One buddy had a anaconda that shot really well. We spent a whole summer slinging 44 magnums in preparation for hunting season. I was shooting my Blackhawk bisley. That summer his anaconda had to go back to colt twice with hand wear to the point that the cylinder wouldn’t spin to the point of locking up if the hammer wasn’t cocked very fast.
None of the loads we were shooting were very hot. The Ruger never had the least of problems.
