That Trooper is in nice shape - you might want to think more about preserving it, shooting it occasionally, but not carrying it. Spend $350 on a decent little carry gun.
 
I really don't know much about
This gun IE what thy are worth our how good thy are
I have no idea way my grandfather would do this but he put "white our" on the frount site is there a way to remove it with our hurting the gun blueing
 
Where in Texas?

That's WAY too big to CC ...

Very nice old Colt.

I've recently converted to Baristol ... it has performed great for whatever I throw it on.
 
How do u tell how old it is I have no idea I know the 1st 3 numbers are 127 and end with a L but not haveing the gun on me atm can't rember
 
You can conceal a 6" revolver....but it takes a lot of effort that you might not want to do. However, that would make an excellent truck gun....and you don't need a CHL to carry it in your vehicle. Just get a good, lockable case to keep it in when you leave your vehicle.

Nice family legacy.....
 
Yes it is I end up with some nice guns that will be passed down I already know I can't cc the 44mag
. I also have and I also was handed a pre 1955 win 30/30
 
Troopers are underrated. Since it's a nice Colt which are no longer being made I would hang on to it.

They are excellent handguns,,,
I own a 4" .357 Mag and a 6" .22 LR,,,
Both of the revolvers are excellent shooters.

Here's what the 2010 Standard Catalogue of Firearms says about them.

Trooper MK III
This revolver was intended to be the target-grade version of the
MK III series. It is offered with a 4", 6", or 8" vent-rib barrel with a
shrouded ejector rod similar in appearance to the Python. It is
chambered for the .22 LR and the .22 Magnum, as well as .357
Magnum. It features adjustable target sights, checkered walnut
target grips, and is either blued or nickel-plated. This model was
manufactured between 1969 and 1983.

The book also listed it as a "sleeper" which may rise in value very quickly,,,
Colt doesn't make double action revolvers anymore,,,
When all of the good Pythons are bought up,,,
Collectors will latch onto the Troopers.

As far as that white-out goes,,,
Rubbing alcohol and a wood toothpick worked for me.

A "sleeper" is,,,

This symbol (a sandman face) denotes “Sleepers” with rapidly-rising values and/or significant collector potential.

It's just a term the book uses,,,
It means that the gun may have a low retail value now,,,
But is expected to or might rise quickly in value for any number of reasons.

In this case I believe it's because Colt no longer makes any DA/SA revolvers,,,
When the Pythons, Cobras, Anacondas, etcetera are all bought up,,,
The Troopers of all versions will start to gain popularity,,,
Then the retail value will rise as they get collected up.

In short,,,
Keep the revolver,,,
It's only going to rise in value.

Pardon the hi-jack,,,

I was under the impression that Texas law barred a business from forbiding legal gun transport in their parking lots.

Am I misinformed?
