Granted that I never really had issue manipulating the cylinder latch of a Colt when using the more typical strong hand reload either. On the other hand :-) weak hand reload works much better for me with Rugers where traditional strong hand reload typically required me to break grip to manipulate the cylinder latch.
    Thank you. You’re a bit of an enabler. But I think I understand what you are saying here.

    Not quite exactly the way I do it but close enough for the idea:

    Ironically, I was searching youtube for videos when you replied. This is very helpful.

    A 4" non-lock six-shot revolver would be a "Shaddup and Take My Money" gun.

    What lock work did the original Anaconda use? Was it a Python derivative as well?

    No. I'm 99% sure it's a derivative of the mk3 or mk5 revolver action, same as the old King Cobra.

    I don't have vol 2 of the kuhnhausen manual to confirm.

    It's a useful option for folks who want to shoot .44 RM +P+ (or .45 Colt +P+) from a double action, but don't want a Ruger or Taurus.
    A small group I'm guessing, but I'm in it.
    And I don't mind Colts cylinder release.

    It would have to be super-accurate and super-smooth for me to get past the vent rib.

    What’s a .44 RM +P+ ?
