I agree that the Colt Anaconda is an odd choice (as are alot of the more obscure Russian weapons like the PSS).

Trust me, big caliber revolvers are very popular here.

I'm also at a loss for other "local" firearms companies in South America--IMBEL and Taurus International are the only South American firearms manufacturers I know about, but surely they can't be the only ones. They're just the most well-known, right? Kind of how Colt is just the most famous American small-arms manufacturer, but is by no means the only one of note. I'd appreciate it if anyone could clear this up.
