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 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.
This particular example was produced in the first year of production that features an 8" ventilated rib barrel and the gorgeous bright nickel finish making this highly sought after by collectors!
