Colt Trooper MK V Prototype – Serial X24233

Brands: Colt
Caliber: .357 Mag

The Colt Trooper MK V Prototype (Serial X24233) is a rare developmental revolver built to test and refine Colt’s law enforcement-focused design. With its rugged steel frame, checkered wood grips, and historical significance, it offers collectors a unique glimpse into the evolution of Colt’s service revolvers.

Description

Here’s something you don’t come across every day—a Colt Trooper MK V Prototype. Serial number X24233 isn’t just another number in a production line; it marks a pivotal point in Colt’s quiet quest to fine-tune revolver design for serious, real-world use—particularly in the hands of law enforcement.

This prototype wasn’t made for show. It was built for work—hard work. Designed to be tested, pushed, and reworked, the MK V prototype served as a testbed for performance upgrades and durability tweaks. Think of it as the unsung hero that helped shape what would become one of Colt’s most trusted service revolvers.

Its frame is no lightweight. Crafted from durable steel and built to handle abuse, the MK V is exactly the kind of revolver you’d want on your hip if things went sideways. The finely checkered wood grips don’t just look good—they feel right. There’s a sense of control when you hold it. Purposeful. Anchored. Like it belongs there.

Now, while we can’t say for certain what internal features were being explored in this particular prototype, collectors and Colt fans will tell you—this is where the magic happens. Improvements to the trigger system? Probably. Tighter cylinder lock-up? Almost certainly. A sighting system made for quicker target pickup? That’s Colt, after all.

But beyond the tech and mechanics, there’s something else going on here.

This revolver connects you to a moment in time—when Colt was still hand-tuning the future, one prototype at a time. It’s a slice of development history, frozen in steel, wood, and expert engineering. Owning it isn’t just about adding to a collection—it’s about holding a piece of the process. A glimpse into the workshop before the final polish, before the production run, before the world even knew what was coming.

For collectors who care not just about the end result, but the story behind it, the Colt Trooper MK V Prototype is more than rare—it’s meaningful.
