Anaconda - Old vs New? Better or worse?

So I have to ask, what are the differences between the Old Anacondas(Colt), and the new ones being made under CZ leadership? I happen to have a first run, or “Legacy” I guess they call it, Anaconda 45 Colt from probably the late 90s.

Are the newer production guns that much better? QC that much better? Strength better? Action better? Finish better? Are my Legacy 45 throats all over the place? New throats laser-precise in size? What do you guys think about the subject?

I see collector prices of first run models, mine

A 6” .45 Colt, was junk! I was so upset. Out of time from the factory new. I was so defeated I bailed on it. CZ anything I’ve seen was very high quality. Even arms farmed out to Turkey! Really nice quality and finish.

I’d bet the new, 2nd gen, were much better. *Woody had an early gun he really liked. It did seem to be a good one.

We had some of the first gen gun at our shop in

Florida and lots of accuracy problems. We sent several back.
