Colt Trooper MKlll .357 Mag

Make: Colt Model: Trooper MKlll Caliber: .357 Mag Barrel: 4 Bore: YEAR Serial # J47717 A historically significant medium "J-frame" double-action/single-action revolver chambered for high-velocity .357 Magnum cartridges. Manufactured in 1970�the second full production year of the MKIII series�this early-run piece features the distinctive "J" suffix or prefix format introduced to overhaul Colt�s manufacturing standards and comply with modern serialization laws. This generation marked the first major advancement in Colt�s revolver engineering since the early 1900s, utilizing a highly advanced transfer-bar lockwork safety system and a transition to corrosion-resistant coil springs rather than vintage flat springs. Often regarded as the rugged, practical cousin to the premium Python, it is built with an integrated solid top rib, a robust shroud protecting the ejection rod, a smooth face trigger, and a heavy barrel contour. The firearm operates reliably in both heavy double-action and exceptionally crisp single-action profiles. It is preserved in very good condition. Please see the photos.
