I was surprised, but not, to see it. People are disinterested in any old colt that isn't a Python. Unless you're old or a weirdo.
It's very nice, I'll be shooting it so those grips will have to go.

Nice looking collection Arc. I've had a few Colt revolvers over the years and like them. Currently only have an excellent condition 1940 vintage Officers Model Target in 22 l.r. It sports a set of Herrett Jordan Troopers that I find to be a comfortable grip for me. Enjoy your new revolver!

I was fondling a 4 inch .22LR Trooper at the LGS awhile back. $750. I probably should have jumped!

The 1964 version is my favorite because it gives me that old-school vibe. I don’t own one myself, but out of all of them, the 1964 one would definitely be my choice

Very nice Colts you have there! My only Colts are a pair of Frontier Scout .22LR’s; one was my father’s and the other was my father-in-law’s.

MKIII Trooper is a very stout revolver. I've owned a couple. The only one I wished I still had was a 4" Nickel version. It was cherry. Congrats on the new Trooper.

Very nice Arc!
Picked up this Trooper myself a few weeks ago, she’s from 1969.

I received a MkIII from my late employer several years ago, a Christmas gift. My first Colt.

In my family's (not mine personally) possession is a Trooper MkIII purchased c. 1969 or 70.
