Colt Trooper

From Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Colt Trooper in .357 magnum was considered to be the "poor man's" Colt Python. Internally, it was the same revolver. However, it wasn't as tuned in its action and it lacked the full ribbed barrel with the raised sight rib of the Python. Therefore it was more affordable and was popular with police officers and private citizens with more modest incomes throughout the fifties and sixties. It was introduced in 1954 and discontinued in 1968. It was available in .357 magnum and 22LR.

Colt MK III Line of Revolvers

The MK III line of Colt revolvers was introduced in 1968. Colt made significant engineering changes to the Trooper, Lawman and Official Police models. The result was a line of revolvers that was more economical. Colt stayed with the older engineering in regards to the Python, Diamondback, Detective Special and Cobra models. The MK III line was discontinued in 1983. Two, four and six inch barrels were standard length. Finishes were blued steel, nickel and a patented nickel finish known as Colt-Guard.

Colt Trooper Mk V 4´´ - .357 Magnum

The Colt Trooper Mk V was a revolver first built by Colt in 1982. What separates it from most other Colt revolvers is that, while it has a full lug on the top of the barrel, it only has a half lug on the bottom. Another added feature to this revolver is the addition of a ribbed barrel. In addition Colt switched from using sintered metal (early form of Metal Injected Molding or MIM) triggers and hammers and went with cast steel for those parts.
