I do not think I have ever heard of a “failed gun range test” by a S&W Highway Patrolman or a Colt Trooper.
I know my Highway Patrolman has worked flawlessly for going on 50 years.
My S&W 625 used to have repeated lockup from screws backing out. I finally solved the problem with loctite.
“I do not think I have ever heard of a “failed gun range test” by a S&W Highway Patrolman or a Colt Trooper.”
A Colt Trooper is just a Python without the polished bright blue finish and full length lug. Early models were just called the .357.
I had a 4-screw Highway Patrolman that I sold to a collector friend.
