The Mark III series began in 1969 when Colt changed over to a different manufacturing process. The action is much more S&W like than the older V spring action. What they produced was an extremely strong robust revolver that shoots great. The only caution is that dry firing can damage the firing pin and it's a Factory ONLY replacement. If you use snap caps you'll be fine and your revolver will probably outlast you and maybe your children.
