Description:
Guns Listing ID: 713337



The Colt Trooper Mk III is a medium-frame, double-action revolver manufactured by Colt‚s Manufacturing Company from 1969 to 1983. It was introduced as the premier model of a completely redesigned product line meant to lower manufacturing costs through modern production techniques while providing a robust, highly reliable firearm for law enforcement and civilians. Often referred to as the \"working man‚s Python,\" it offered a more affordable, durable alternative to Colt‚s premium, hand-fitted Python target revolver.
Core Design & Engineering J-Frame Construction: Built on a newly designed, heavy-duty \"J\" frame, ensuring zero parts interchangeability with older Colt models.
As is in pictures shown.
Transfer-Bar Safety: Feature an automatic safety mechanism preventing the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is completely pulled to the rear.
Coil Springs: Upgraded from traditional flat leaf springs to corrosion-resistant stainless steel coil springs to improve reliability and break-resistance.
Sintered Metal Parts: Utilized early metal injection molding technology (powdered metal pressed under high heat/pressure) for internal parts like the hammer and trigger.
Clockwise Cylinder Rotation: Configured so the cylinder rotates clockwise, which differs from standard Smith & Wesson configurations.
Pull-to-Release Latch: Designed with a cylinder latch that requires pulling backward to open rather than pushing forward.
Specifications & Variations Available Calibers: Chambered predominantly in .357 Magnum, but also produced in .22 Long Rifle, .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR), and .38 Special.
Barrel Lengths: Offered in standard 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch heavy configurations featuring a solid top rib and a shroud that protects the ejection rod.Factory Finishes: Finished in high-gloss bright blue-black, bright nickel, or satin electroless nickel (known as \"Coltguard\").
Sighting System: Equipped with a pinned serrated front blade sight and a fully adjustable rear target sight housed inside a protective frame recess.
Target Furniture: Outfitted from the factory with large checkered wooden target grips, a wide target hammer, and Colt‚s first factory target trigger.
