Colt ~ Trooper MK V ~ .357 Magnum

Description:
The Colt Trooper is a medium frame, double-action revolver featuring a six-round cylinder, chambered in .357 Magnum. Introduced to the firearms market by the Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1953, the Trooper was introduced with the intention of addressing the medium frame revolver market, as law enforcement officers had long complained about the weight of earlier models. The Trooper was seen as ideal in size and handling characteristics. It was offered as an alternative and competitor to Smith & Wesson's Model 28 "Highway Patrolman", the Colts were lighter and handier. The MK V series was based on a new, slightly smaller 'V' frame, similar in size to Smith & Wesson's 'K' frame. Changes from the MK III models were minor, and many parts remained identical. Internally, Colt did away with the sintered iron MK III lockwork in favor of cast parts, and improved the trigger action with new components and a shorter hammer fall. These improvements made the MK V triggers smoother, while the diminished lock times increased accuracy. Exterior modifications included a compact grip frame with rounded grips.
