Condition Report
Metalwork: The bright nickel finish is in spectacular condition, displaying a brilliant, mirror-like polish across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. There are only very light, superficial handling marks and a faint turn line on the cylinder. All factory roll marks are sharp, clear, and perfectly legible.
Wood/Grips: The checkered walnut target grips are in excellent shape. The checkering remains sharp, and the wood grain is rich with no deep scratches, cracks, or chips. The gold Rampant Colt medallions are bright and intact.
Mechanics: Built on Colt‚s redesigned MK III action featuring coiled stainless steel springs, the lockwork is renowned for its strength and reliability. The lockup is incredibly tight, timing is spot-on, and the action delivers a smooth double-action pull and a clean single-action break. The bore and cylinder chambers are exceptionally clean.
Why the Colt Trooper MK III?
The Trooper MK III was designed as a heavy-duty, reliable workhorse for law enforcement and civilians, serving as a less expensive alternative to the upscale Colt Python. The robust coil-spring lockwork and transfer-bar safety made it one of the strongest mid-size revolvers of its era. Finding a 4-inch Trooper MK III in this high-polish bright nickel finish with pristine wood target grips is becoming increasingly difficult, making it a fantastic addition to any vintage double-action collection.
