Colt Trooper MK 111 Rimfire Revolver -- Nice Swap

[jackieschmidt]

He had this Trooper MkK 111 in 22 LR, 8 inch barrel. I had an item he wanted that I did not need, (or would never use), so we traded even.

I know “real” Colt guys think the trooper MK 111 is not like the original Trooper, but this is a nice little revolver in perfect condition.

This looks like a real shooter.

Which friend did you trade Jackie?

Nice pistol but that title jumps out and reminds me of an old joke.

Lady was driving between towns and picks up another lady hitchhiking. They chit chat a bit. There was a brown paper bag on the seat. After a while the hitchhiker asks the driver whats in the bag. Driver says it's a bottle of wine, I got it for my husband. Hitchhiker chews on this a bit and eventually looks over and says, good trade.

Hope he got a lot of ammo with the gun if he traded that...

I always kinda thought I was a real colt guy because I owned almost as many of them as S&Ws, but I must not be because I think you came into a real nice revolver. Enjoy it and if you ever get tired of it or become a "real" colt guy and get ashamed of it I will trade you something for it... John

Back in my misspent youth I owned a Trooper MK III in 357 Mag that I carried as a duty weapon. It was the 2nd most consistently accurate production revolver I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few over the years. The most consistently accurate was a Ruger Blackhawk in 357 Mag with a 4⅝" barrel that I bought in 1970.

Spent a lot of quality time with my 6" Diamondback, waiting for my rifle barrel to cool. Hope you have many happy hours and days with your pistol.

that is a nice looking pistol - mabie im rethinking selling my colts now

That thread title is kinda humorous.

I did not mention what he got in the trade, the values in monetary terms was about equal. The main thing is he got rid of something he did not want and got what he wanted, and I got rid of something I did not want and got what I wanted.

Some people don't like "New Ropes even" Don't worry what other say, shoot and enjoy it. You will and you obtained a nice handgun.

Kent, I have had a bunch of revolvers over the years as well... My best shooter was a 6'' 19...
I made many unbelievable shots in front of friends and family with that gun.. Most were unbelievable to me as well !!! Good karma for sure.

Is anyone interested in Bob Guffey?? I'm looking for Tactical Scopes, 223 bullets and primers, and/or cleaning patches??

I was just guessing it might have been one of those tricked out competition handguns you build. I can't see enough of them. Did not want to be nosy. Sorry
