Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this less common double-action revolver for a penny-start auction; this is the Colt Lawman Mark V!
The Lawman Mark V is considered the rarest of Colt’s Mark V series, often overshadowed by its more well-known counterparts. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it was offered in both 2-inch and 4-inch barrel lengths, with fixed sights and a robust, service-ready design. Its short production run, combined with the transition period between Colt revolver generations, has made the Lawman Mark V a highly sought-after collectible among Colt enthusiasts and revolver aficionados alike.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1982, Colt built upon the success of its Mark III revolver line by introducing the Mark V series, a modernized and refined version that featured a host of mechanical and ergonomic upgrades. The most notable of these was the transition from sintered steel to cast steel for both the hammer and trigger, significantly improving durability and consistency. Colt also introduced its first short-action system with the Mark V, reducing the hammer fall distance and enhancing the revolver’s responsiveness. This update was complemented by a redesigned, longer mainspring and guide, as well as a relocated mainspring seat—all of which worked in tandem to provide a smoother, more refined trigger pull. These internal modifications marked a meaningful leap in performance for both casual shooters and professionals seeking reliability in a double-action revolver.

Externally, the Mark V line brought notable ergonomic improvements, including a shift from the full-profile square butt frame of the Mark III to a more rounded grip frame. This not only improved handling but also made the revolver more comfortable for prolonged use. The factory grips were upgraded to a full wrap-around rubber design that covered the backstrap, enhancing recoil control and overall grip comfort. Aesthetically, the Mark V adopted Python-style vented ribs on the barrel, giving the revolver a more premium and modern appearance. One key model in the Mark V series was the Lawman Mark V—a fixed-sight service revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, available with a 4-inch heavy barrel featuring an exposed ejector rod, or a 2-inch barrel version with a shrouded ejector rod reminiscent of the Detective Special. The Lawman Mark V retained the rugged appeal of its predecessor while benefiting from all the mechanical advancements that defined the upgraded V-frame series.
