Keep in mind that there are THREE Colt Trooper revolvers.
There's the original Colt Trooper which used the same frame and action as the Python.
The Trooper Mark III is a totally new design unlike anything Colt ever made up until then and was used as the base for all Colt DA revolvers that followed.
These are transfer bar ignition/safety designs.
The Trooper Mark V was an upgraded Mark III with a "short action" hammer and a vented barrel. This same gun was later made with a different barrel as the King Cobra.
So, when discussing Colt Troopers, you have to be specific and remember to add the "Mark" designation or risk misunderstanding what you're dealing with. No grips interchange between the three, and no parts at all between the original and the Mark versions.
In the era's in which these models were made they were always Colt's top of the line premium holster revolvers, only bettered by the super-premium Python.
