Your Questions Answered
Is this rated for +P ammunition?
Yes. The Anaconda Western Hognose Baby is built on a steel frame and is rated for standard pressure and .38 Special +P ammunition.
What type of holster fits this revolver?
It fits most holsters designed for small-frame, 2.5-inch barrel, five-shot revolvers. We recommend a quality leather or Kydex holster molded specifically for this model for secure retention.

The double-action pull is notably smooth and consistent out of the box, with a clean single-action break. This was a key factor in its performance during our reliability testing against other compact revolvers.
