Colt New Frontier.. ?

[J.B.]

Wont start a new thread but just to keep you updated.. I did manage to secure a Ruger flat top in 45 Colt/45 acp. The polymer grips against the blue arent in the same league as 'True Ivory' from Bar S but I can live with them. Typically
havent had much time to play with it yet and when I did , found my 45 ACP ammo that cycled flawlessly in my Competition 1911 would hang up the cylinder in the Single Action. Clearly tighter tolerances for an auto round in a revolver which
only makes sense. The .44 Special I managed to secure is still Stateside...so its anyones guess if I ever get a chance to bring that one home. The Colt New Frontier is destined 'not to be' I'm afraid.
The potential new topic is that I managed to secure a 1970's vintage Colt Trooper Mk 3 . Blued with 6" bbl. Always wanted one of these and while the lockwork is much more 'working class' than the Python, the design of the Trooper
always appealed to me. It will be mostly used single action and I've heard the double action on these can vary from quite good to seriously heavy. Havent taken delivery yet but looking forward to seeing it in the metal in a few weeks time. It came at a good price for 'Down Under' as well. The photo I did see suggests its spent most of its time in an oiled rag in someones safe... probably several peoples safes actually.
