Colt had had very successful sales of the Mark III series and in 1982 issued an upgraded version of it as the new "V" frame Mark V series. The Trooper Mark V was only manufactured for a very limited time and then discontinued, making these models feverishly sought after by collectors around the world.
This particular example was manufactured in 1982, the first year of the very short production run!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt had had very successful sales of the Mark III series and, in 1982, issued an upgraded version of it as the new "V" frame Mark V series. The major changes from the Mark III were: Changed the sintered steel hammer and trigger to cast steel. Changed the hammer and trigger to Colt's first short action; this gave a shorter hammer fall. Changed the mainspring, the mainspring guide, and the location of the mainspring seat to a longer spring and longer guide. The new hammer and trigger, the new longer mainspring, and the relocated mainspring seat were intended to improve the trigger pull.
Changed the full profile square butt frame to a new rounded profile grip frame. Grips were changed to a full wrap-around design with a covered back strap. Changed the barrel to include Python-like vents in the rib. This was the premium version, having adjustable sights, a Target hammer, a Target trigger, and Target grips. Barrel lengths were 4 inches, 6 inches, and 8 inches with a red front sight insert. Finishes were bright blue, bright nickel, and satin Electroless nickel, also known as "Coltguard". The caliber was .357 Magnum.
Contents:
This example will ship with a Colt hard case and an extra 8" ventilated rib barrel!
