Overview

The Colt Mk III is a series of double-action revolvers introduced by Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1969. The Mk III family included the Trooper Mk III, the Lawman Mk III, and the Police Mk III. These revolvers were chambered in .357 Magnum and featured Colt's new V-spring action, which was stronger and simpler than previous Colt designs. The Mk III revolvers had a heavy barrel profile and a shrouded ejector rod. The Trooper Mk III was aimed at the target and hunting market with adjustable sights, while the Lawman Mk III had fixed sights for police duty use. The Mk III series represented Colt's updated revolver design for the modern era.
