one would think the placement would be the same on the same length barrelThere were two types of porting on the Anacondas.The style that you have and the style with holes.I believe that Colt sent this style to Magnaport for processing.As far as location on the slots they seem to vary some from gun to gun.The 8" that I had was ported closer to the front of the vent.D*
A letter is not needed, the Custom Anaconda's were stamped on the left lower grip frame; "CCS4" if memory serves correctly. But I'm to damn lazy to pull one of mine out to confirm. Check under the rubbers, the stamping should be there if it's legitLetter will remove doubt but I don't think help price much if any.
I think, it helps with follow up shots, If it didn't do anything, I would imagine colt wouldn't of put holes in their guns nor would anyone else for that matter O guessThis is off thread but why the Hell would anyone want to port these guns? Does it actually do anything to improve handling? My totally uneducated opinion would be that doing this would ultimately deminish a gun's value.....What say ye?
if the custom shop was involved would they have done any trigger work, or would they not of even gone insideA letter is not needed, the Custom Anaconda's were stamped on the left lower grip frame; "CCS4" if memory serves correctly.

Sounds like you had one, did Colt do any trigger work to yoursIt does make a difference when you shoot them for sure. But after a few shots the orange insert on front site is blackened.
Are you under the impression that the gun with the Orange (Red Ramp) front sight is a Custom Shop Gun? Just curious because part of the "Custom Shop" package is Elliason sights. The overall package was:
1. Ported Barrel
2. Smoothed, recontoured, and mirror polished trigger
3. Elliason Sights front and rear
4. Action Job by Colts Custom Shop
I would think that the gun with the Red Ramp front sight was ported after it left the factory, was ordered to have the Accro instead of the Elliason or someone swapped after it left the factory.
That's it, turns out my memory ain't as bad as they say.Like this
