The Colt 357 was the highly polished and expensive 357 model revolver that was intended to be their premium offering. Both models shared the same forged and labor-intensive hand-fitted internal lockwork. All the Troopers from this series had hammer mounted firing pins. The pre-1969 Troopers were the best of the best when it comes to Colt Troopers. This Colt Trooper is from my personal collection. I also have two other MK III models in .357 magnum and .22 calibers. The .22 is blue with a 6" barrel and the .357 Magnum is Nickel with a 6" barrel. If you are interested in seeing pictures of these or would like to purchase all three let me know. This Trooper #7001 is in collector grade condition and with no handling marks and with the factory box and some paperwork. No cylinder turn marks, possibly unfired, with perfect wood grip panels, and a 4" barrel. If you want a real Trooper in your collection this is the one to own. Internet Information 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. 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 to 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.
