I just picked up a Colt Trooper MK III .22 magnum with 6" barrel.

The sad part is that someone whittled finger grooves in the original Colt grips so I have to come up with new ones.

I like your grips...........

Would you believe, I have never shot a Colt revolver  ?

[david86440]

Tom....... would you believe I haven't "yet" either? I will as soon as I have time to check over my new acquisition as the cylinder isn't locking up. I think/hope it just needs a cleaning.

Good luck, I hope you are right.

Good looking piece, gunman.

My advice is to keep it that way unless you have the money to buy the gun. If my late lamented pythom is any example, you will never be truly happy with anything else. People rave about Smiths. BS. That python was like glass. I've shot 5 figure doubles that didn't lock up that smooth or balance as well.
FQ13 And yes, I really, really, really wish I had that gun back. (if you're listening Santa, you can have both Glocks and my Smith in trade). As I doubt I'll get my Christmas wish, I'll drink damnation to Sarah Brady and the AWB instead. Somehow though, its not the same.

Nice pistol. I gave my youngest stepson a blued version of the Trooper when he got out of the military.

Colt is stupid for not making revolvers anymore, yes they may be a little pricey, but I know that a large amount of shooters would buy the damn things.

Gunman,

I notice that by your avatar you are a Ruger Man.  I want to take this opportunity to help you out.  It would obviously be embarrassing and possibly blasphemous for you to possess a Colt.   Since I've recently been bit by the revolver bug, I will be more than happy to relieve you of this GREAT LOOKING item and will even be willing to pay the shipping.

Always willing to help.

Alf:  Whose never fired a Colt revolver either.
