Today I looked at a Colt Trooper Mk III at my local gun shop. Very nice looking, very tight. A tiny loss of bluing right at the barrel tip, but otherwise very good condition. Ran all the tests and tricks from revolver evaluation post on this site, everything perfect. Except! The double action trigger pull is very stiff. I was surprised. I have never owned or shot a Colt.
The shop owner asked me what I thought of the Trooper and I commented on the stiff trigger. I commented that my S&W's had much better triggers. His reply was that in general he felt Colt's had better triggers, but when he checked out this example he agreed that it was stiff.
I really like the feel of the Trooper and the condition. Price is $299.00. Despite liking it I am thinking of passing on it. Any thoughts anyone?
