Shooting Colt's Trooper .357

[duelist1954]

I like Colt revolvers, single actions and double actions. In this video I'll be shooting what I consider to be one of the last classic double action revolvers that Colt introduced...the Trooper .357 magnum. This is not to be confused with the Trooper MK III, which has a completely different action, and frame.

The classic Trooper .357 had the same action as the more expensive Colt Python, but without the lugged barrel and high cost Royal Blue finish. The Trooper .357 was made to be a working sixgun for police and outdoorsmen, an area where it still excels.

I feel like I should point out that sticking your finger in the muzzle doesn't look good. You may know for a fact the pistol is clear but the viewer never saw you clear it and in general it just seems like a bad idea.

My best friend bought a Colt Trooper, new, about 1966-67, and we both shot the snot out of it.

It was a very nice shooter, and easy to handle - he used to carry it during our annual Maine deer hunting trips.

I once watch while he shot right through the motor of a rusted-out old car we came across in the woods (the car had trees growing up through the body).

We were both impressed. (We were both young & impressionable at the time )
