Thanks @bannockburn - I spotted this for not a lot of money. I was trying to research it - it appears to be fairly scarce. I have seen a few online with the shrouded rod, although I have never seen ANY of these Colt snubbies in the flesh. Are they not popular? The thing is built like a tank and weighs about 35oz empty. I have seen a few Troopers usually with a 4” barrel and often with some odd target stock that does little for aesthetics. I have yet to shoot it but I am eagerly looking forward to it. This example has some cosmetic issues and needed a serious deep cleaning. Few scratches on the frame and a bit of wear on the barrel, and a few very tiny rust spots. The kicker is some joker lightly scratched “A” into the grip frame which was not described by the GB seller but I can live with it as it would not be worth the cost of hassle to return. I really do like the piece even with all that being said. It did clean up nice even round 2 after this picture Hardly a pocket gun, but the grips fit nicely in my hand. I find my Model of 1911 a bit large for comparison sake.ancientnoob
Love that "old school", exposed ejector rod on your Lawman MK.III! A bit of a stretch to call it a "pocket .357" but still an awesome Colt snubby revolver! Thanks for sharing!
