Condition Report
Metalwork: The bright nickel finish is in spectacular condition, displaying a brilliant, mirror-like polish across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. There are only very light, superficial handling marks and a faint turn line on the cylinder. All factory roll marks are sharp, clear, and perfectly legible.
Wood/Grips: The checkered walnut target grips are in excellent shape. The checkering remains sharp, and the wood grain is rich with no deep scratches, cracks, or chips. The gold Rampant Colt medallions are bright and intact.
Mechanics: Built on Colt's redesigned MK III action featuring coiled stainless steel springs, the lockwork is renowned for its strength and reliability. The lockup is incredibly tight, timing is spot-on, and the action delivers a smooth double-action pull and a clean single-action break. The bore and cylinder chambers are exceptionally clean.
Why the Colt Trooper MK III?
The Trooper MK III was designed as a heavy-duty, reliable workhorse for law enforcement and civilians, serving as a less expensive alternative to the upscale Colt Python. The robust coil-spring lockwork and transfer-bar safety made it one of the strongest mid-size revolvers of its era. Finding a 4-inch Trooper MK III in this high-polish bright nickel finish with pristine wood target grips is becoming increasingly difficult, making it a fantastic addition to any vintage double-action collection.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
