What’s Included
- Colt Trooper .357 revolver
Built on Colt’s I-frame with the V-spring old-style lockwork, this Pre-Mark III Trooper delivers the classic DA/SA action and six-shot capacity that defined the model before the Mark III redesign. The cylinder is fluted, and the Rampant Pony logo is present on the frame.
The 4-inch round barrel retains the unshrouded, exposed ejector rod characteristic of early Troopers. Sights are the Accro-style adjustable square-notch rear with both windage and elevation screws, paired with a ramped and serrated front blade for a clear sight picture.
Construction is all carbon steel with a blued finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The grips are checkered walnut with silver Colt medallions, providing a period-correct look and secure feel.
Factory markings include the left-side barrel rollmark reading "TROOPER .357" over ".357 MAGNUM CTG." along with the Colt Hartford, Conn., U.S.A. barrel address. A "B" stamp is present inside the crane/yoke window, and the country of origin is the United States.
