Description:

FS: A Colt Trooper 357 manufactured in 1965. The original Colt Trooper 357 was manufactured from 1953 - 1969. The Colt Trooper 357 was basically a plain Colt Python, with the same hand assembly and the same smooth trigger. This one, serial number 45242, was manufactured in 1965 and is in amazing condition for a 58-year-old revolver. (See the pictures) It also comes with a quality Galco belt holster, which is also in great condition. The metal is in excellent condition showing barely a dragline. The factory TARGET grips are in good condition showing some handling marks. This Target model sports hand-filling Walnut grips, larger and wider target hammers, and adjustable iron sights. These are rare and very hard to locate.

COLT TROOPER

1953 – 1969

The original Trooper was a heavy-barreled version of the Officers Model Match and was based on Colt's medium I frame. It was offered in .22 Long Rifle and .38 Special chamberings. Manufactured with fine carbon steel, it was available in both blued and nickel-plated finishes. Early blued Troopers boasted a two-tone color scheme with dull Colt Royal Blue on the flat surfaces and a black bead blasted texture on the edges and cylinder flutes. Both Target and Service versions of the Trooper were available, the Target models sporting hand-filling Walnut grips, larger and wider target hammers, and adjustable iron sights. Service versions featured smaller more basic hammers and stocks, and fixed sights. Barrel lengths available included four inch in .22 caliber and four and six inch in .38 Special; the .22 was intended as a ‘practice’ weapon and also came in a six-inch. All the Troopers from this series had hammer-mounted firing pins. The Trooper was targeted at the entry-level and Law enforcement service-level segment of the firearms market while the highly polished and expensive 357 model revolver was intended to be their premium offering. Both models shared the same forged and labor-intensive hand-fitted internal lockwork.

After the introduction of the more expensive Python in 1955, Colt discontinued the basic .38 Special Trooper in 1961, and did away with the .357 moniker, so they renamed it Trooper. The new offering retained the .357 magnum chambering and frame-mounted firing pin, but kept the entry-level revolver's more subdued finish. The Trooper continued to be offered in .22 Long rifle, and like all .357 Magnums, offered the capability of firing .38 Special ammunition as well.
