Hello all,

I decided to put this up on the Outdoors board rather than the general classifieds section, as the readership here will be more likely to appreciate this fine handgun.

I have too many .357's, so I have decided to let this one go. It is a Mk III version of the Colt Trooper w/4" barrel in excellent overall condition. It has factory adjustable rear sight, and comes with a nice set of Herret's "Shooting Star" target stocks. I would estimate it's cosmetic condition to be very good, with only very minor handling marks. There is no rust, and blueing is about 92-94%. Of course it functions perfectly, and has an excellent SA trigger pull. Sights are traditional post/notch, which is what one would expect in a revolver of this age.

This is 39 ounces of solid American steel. It's size and weight makes it very easy to shoot full-house .357's all day long. Loaded with .38's, it makes a great training gun for novices. It would also make a superb home defense gun (you would not want it for a carry gun) or short-range hog gun. The Shooting Star grips are better suited for medium to large hands.

The original box and instruction manuals are present, although the outer cardboard box is in poor shape. I do not have the original grips. I am asking $450.00 for an FTF deal here in the B-CS area. I would be interested in a trade for a DA .22lr revolver w/at least 4" barrel, or a Hammerli 208 or S&W 41 with cash added on my end (I know, a long shot), but no other trades please. If you are interested, please email me at: b-csphil at hotmail dot com.

thanks for your time,
Caladan

very nice pistol. you should have no problem selling it at that price.

Very nice pistol. As a matter of fact, I have one exactly like that in the pistol safe sitting beside my bed. You should have no problem selling it.

Too bad I've been spending a bunch of money on other hobbies

I could probably do 350 but that might be an insult....

Thanks for the kind comments! They are much appreciated....

Very nice revolver. Great price, too. Someone is going to be very happy.

Great looking gun. I'd like to have something like that someday, just isn't the right timing right now. Good luck selling it, it'll sure make somebody happy!

Caladan did you ever sell this guy? I'm looking for a 6" trooper. You have one of those you want to get rid of?

Wow, how did I miss this? I'm in the market for a .357 revolver.

Dr. M. -- Sorry, I don't have a 6" Trooper. I do have a 6" Python, but it would take an inordinate amount of cash to make me part with that one.

ABS - the pistol is still for sale. Please feel free to email using the above address for more info..

thanks
