Beautiful revolver. Shoot it and enjoy it, it'll clean up.

Just don't drop it!

Beautiful Finish on a classic firearm. Colt Royal Blue is in a class by itself. A few years back, I had my 4 inch Python reblued by Colt. I have never regretted it.

This was a gift from a friend. This is what it looked like before



The cylinder and any of the other leading edges have had a lot of holster wear. It means more to me as the symbol of what it is than a shooter. I need a set of very nice grips for it. Does anyone want to take up the challenge? Send me an email.

That is a very nice looking Colt Trooper Mr. Grouse. They did an excellent job with the refinish work. I like the new grips too. I would have to shoot it, I just couldn't help myself.
