Hi All:
One of the surprises I came by in a little-visited LGS today was a Colt Trooper MKIII, 6”, .357. It’s in 98% condition with just the faintest trace of edge wear at the muzzle. Has the old wood-grained cardboard box and inserts. It’s been fired, but sparingly. Blue looks great, not Python great but much better than any more modern firearm. It’s a handsome gun. I had an electroless nickel Trooper years ago that I liked but used it for trade fodder pretty soon after I got it, so we never “married.” The trigger on this example is superb and better than any current revolver for sale (save for boutique examples). The price is right. So can I expect the same/similar accuracy from this that I get from my 2020 Pythons (1-1.5” 25 yard guns with handloads)? Any other thoughts on the gun?
