That's too long. My last Colt was a Delta Elite. Someone local was selling a nice, blued Trooper MK III so I snagged it. According to Colt's website, it was made in 1976. It has the original wood grips, the heavy top rib on the barrel, adjustable sights, and is in Royal Blue. Double action is as smooth as glass and single action is very light. There is some holster wear. The last owner says he put 100 rounds through her. I put six rounds of magnum 154gr JSP and she shoots to sights. I think the original target grips did not help recoil management 
I then ran 36 rounds of 130grFMJ .38 Special rounds through and recoil was a lot more manageable. I shot all rounds double-action at 10 yards. I kept the rounds inside 4". I could have done better but I haven't shot double-action since I sold my GP100. Anyway, while I was leaving the range, I picked up two speed loaders. With the stock Colt stocks, they functioned correctly. So far I'm pretty happy with this revolver. It's not a Python, but it shoots just fine. I'll post up pics tomorrow.

While I doubt it was used in law enforcement, I'm curious about where it was originally sent. I might have mail Colt for a letter on it.
