Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman 2nd Series Match Target Model is a highly esteemed example of classic American target pistol design, produced by Colt’s Manufacturing Company during the mid-20th century when precision rimfire semi-automatics were a benchmark of craftsmanship and performance. As part of the second series of Colt Woodsman pistols, the Match Target variant was engineered specifically for competitive shooting and serious target practice, refining the platform’s already admirable design with features that catered to accuracy and shooter feedback. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Match Target model typically sports a longer, highly finished barrel with a target crown and finely fitted feed ramp to promote exceptionally consistent bullet exit and grouping performance — attributes that competitive shooters prized in national matches and club shoots. The slide and frame were manufactured to tight tolerances, and the action’s crisp single-action trigger break further enhanced precision by reducing trigger-induced movement at the moment of firing. Adjustable target sights with broad, precise notches, combined with a finely tuned leaf rear sight, provided a clear and customizable sight picture suited to bullseye competition distances, while the grip profile and checkered wood panels were shaped to offer stable and repeatable hand positioning.
