Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this STUNNING double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Trooper MK V.
The Colt Trooper Mark V was considered superior to earlier models primarily due to its redesigned “V-frame” action, which featured a coil spring system in place of the traditional leaf spring used in earlier Colt revolvers. This resulted in a shorter, smoother, and more consistent trigger pull in both double- and single-action operation, while also improving durability and reducing the need for frequent hand-fitting. The updated internal geometry made the action more robust under sustained use, giving the Mark V a reputation for combining classic Colt feel with a more modern, reliable performance.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Trooper Mark V represents the final evolution of Colt’s classic Trooper series, introduced in the late 1970s as part of a new generation of double-action revolvers. Built on the redesigned “V-frame,” the Mark V featured an improved action system that offered a shorter, smoother trigger pull compared to earlier Colt designs, along with enhanced durability and strength. Typically chambered in .357 Magnum, these revolvers were intended for both law enforcement and civilian use, offering a balance of performance, reliability, and refined Colt craftsmanship. Today, the Trooper Mark V holds a respected place among Colt enthusiasts as a transitional model bridging traditional Colt revolver design and more modern engineering approaches. While produced in greater numbers than some earlier Colts, high-condition examples—particularly those retaining original finish, box, and paperwork—are becoming increasingly desirable. As one of the last iterations of Colt’s classic double-action revolver lineage, the Mark V continues to attract collectors who appreciate its blend of performance, history, and Colt heritage.
