Does the Trooper MkIII and the Python share the same grip frame. I am looking for grips for a Trooper and find lots of Python grips, though none are identified as fitting the Trooper.

They do not. Hope this link works.

Thanks Dan, I finally found them on Houge's site, they do not interchange.
There's a lot of great history via Dan's link above.
Thank You.
As above, they are not the same. The good news is factory MKIII stocks are a lot less than python stocks. The original trooper and python are interchangeable.
I "think" the python and new service grips interchange.

Tried swapping grips on my 1920 New Service .44-40 and 1957 Colt OP .38 Special. Close, but no cigar.Originally Posted by Texas by God
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Uh no, kinda like Mia Farrow trying on Dolly Parton's bra.

No joy with New service. Python will interchange with: ,357; Old Trooper; Official Police; Army Special; Officer Models. I think that is it.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
That was a well placed qualifier then
I seemed to remember having some rosewood finger groove grips from a Python that fit on my 1909 .45 LC. Maybe they were modified because they had a neat little window where the bottom forestrap sat flush with the front of the grip. I guess that's what I was thinking of.

I can verify that the old trooper does fit the Python.
