Not a Trooper- the Colt 357

I thought it was a Trooper, also. The have two 357's a S&W 60-10 and a Three-Fifty-Seven. If I had to shoot for money at 50 yards it would be the choice. Mine is the six inch and was also a police weapon for about 15 years. I purchased it from a King County Deputy Sheriff when they changed to self loaders.

Colt has made some fine revolvers back in the years past.
One of my pleasant delights was back in the 1990s. Our local police supply store was receiving boxes of police turn in Colts. Once a week I showed up and dug through the supply picking out the nicest Colts. One of the smarter endevors I got into.

That is a bit surprising. Those BHs aren't shy in the hammer-fall department.
Older Colts attract me like a moth to flame.

My only 357 magnum is a Colt Trooper MKIII and it does shoot. Don't see many of the older Colt revolvers around here. Frank

Those Trooper Mk IIIs are every bit as strong as the L-frame S&Ws, and don't use the soft metal parts that make things squirrelly in the V-spring models. Simple, robust lockworks like these make an armorer's work very easy. I had a 6" that was a tackdriver, and a 4" that had close to 15K rounds through it when I sold it to a guy going to Lassen Community College as a project gun.
