cactusjack Report post Posted April 1, 2021 I purchased a Colt Trooper/Python Pinto on here a couple of months ago. It needed to be rescued. I found the correct barrel on ebay, and took it to my gunsmith. Ordered new grips. The new grips i ordered are target grips but I'm probably going to get combat ones. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted April 3, 2021 Pretty cool. I was watching that pistol. I could tell it was a python barrel but knew the action was not a python Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted April 3, 2021 I'm waiting to shoot it. A part is on order, the prior gunsmith rigged the pin that keeps the yoke in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucks&bulls Report post Posted April 3, 2021 Nice looking revolver and definitely worth saving. Now that she’s almost ready for the dance I think she deserves a dress tailored just for her (new holster). Leather in the picture looks like it got “massaged” with a dull knife. Not a pro by any stretch of the imagination but I have made a few field rigs that are at least serviceable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cactusjack Report post Posted May 15, 2021 I finally got out and shot the Trooper. I love this wheelgun. I just might take it on a HAM hunt. I can't decide, either the Trooper or my AR15 300blk with a 4-16 scope and pistol brace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
