Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Back in 1993, Colt built just 2,000 Kodiak revolvers, and they became instant collector pieces. This modern Kodiak revives that idea on the reworked Anaconda platform, and this version stretches the ported vent rib barrel out to a full 8 inches. That extra length wrings more velocity out of .44 Magnum loads and gives you a longer sight radius, which matters when you're trying to put a heavy bullet exactly where it needs to go on a deer or hog. The ports up front vent gas to fight muzzle rise, and combined with all that stainless steel out front, magnum loads stay surprisingly manageable.
The unfluted cylinder is the signature feature here. It adds a few ounces right where you want them to soak up recoil, and the smooth walls keep mud and grit from collecting when you're miles from the truck. Inside, you get the same leaf-spring action Colt built into the new Python, so the double action pull rolls through smooth and consistent without the stacking older big-bore Colts were known for. The single action break is crisp for careful shots from a rest or shooting sticks.
A red ramp front sight pairs with a fully adjustable rear so you can dial in your zero for whatever load you settle on, and the top strap is drilled and tapped if you'd rather run a red dot or handgun scope. The Hogue overmolded rubber grip takes the sting out of full-power loads, and since the Kodiak shares its grip frame with the Python and Anaconda, swapping to wood or custom grips down the road is easy.
This is a purpose-built hunting revolver, and the 8-inch barrel makes it the pick of the litter for that job. Feed it stout 240 or 300 grain loads for big game, or drop in mild .44 Special for cheap, pleasant range days. Either way, the polished stainless finish and matte top rib look as good in the safe as they perform in the field.
That's exactly what this 8-inch version was built for. The long ported barrel adds velocity and sight radius, the adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your hunting load, and the top strap is drilled and tapped so you can mount a red dot or pistol scope. It has the accuracy and power for deer, hogs, and black bear at reasonable handgun ranges.
It's a .44 Magnum, so there's some push, but this is one of the more comfortable ways to shoot the cartridge. The barrel porting vents gas to cut muzzle rise, the heavy unfluted cylinder and full-lug 8-inch barrel add recoil-soaking weight, and the Hogue rubber grip cushions your hand. Load it with .44 Special and it's downright mild for practice sessions.
The Kodiak is built on the same frame and action as the current Anaconda, so the trigger feel and overall handling are very close. The big differences are the Kodiak's unfluted cylinder, which adds weight and keeps debris out of the flutes, and the factory barrel porting that helps control muzzle flip. Think of it as the Anaconda dressed for hunting and backcountry duty.
Yes, and it's one of the easiest revolvers to customize. The Kodiak shares its grip frame with the current Colt Python and Anaconda, so any grips made for those models will fit. That opens up a huge range of wood, rubber, and custom options if the factory Hogue grip isn't your style.
