Colt Trooper MK III question

[TLHelmer]

I was so incredibly blessed to recently have a Colt Trooper MK III handed down to me. It is in pristine condition and a beautiful weapon. The trigger is long and heavy. My Smith and Wesson revolvers have much better triggers. Does anyone know anything about the Colt Trooper MK III's? Any suggestions on who works on the triggers?

You should find a competent Colt gunsmith, or contact Colt and see if they would work on it.

Congratulations, the MKIII are great 357's, the acrion wont be as slick as a Python, but they are MUCH more robust. They will last a lifetime.

If you do a lot of dryfiring you should use snap caps as the firing pin can be damaged, and that's a factory only repair.
Wolff makes reduced springs if the trigger bothers you, might just take some getting used to.
Great Colts!

I put Wolff springs in mine and it made a big difference. I love it because it was my first CF handgun and it is beautiful. I have a set of Hogue wood grips on it that I modified and refinished. It is the only handgun I've killed a deer with. I had stepped away from my shotgun and heard a deer coming from behind me. It was in the pocket of my Carrhart bibs so I used it to drop a 120 pound doe. I still shoot a Mdl. 19 or 66 better though.

Thanks for all of your replies and the helpful information! I will see if I can find a competent gunsmith close to me.
