Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman is a semi-automatic sporting pistol manufactured by the U.S. Colt Manufacturing Company from 1915 to 1977. It was designed by John Moses Browning. The frame design changed over time in three distinct series: series one 1915–1941, series two 1947–1955, and series three 1955–1977. There are three series of the Colt Woodsman, and each series has three models: Target, Sport, and Match Target. The first series was manufactured from 1915 to 1941. The Target Model was the base model and featured a 6" barrel with adjustable front and rear sights. It was not until 1927 that the name "Woodsman" was used. The Sport Model was designed as a field sidearm for hiking and camping in 1933 and had a 4.5" barrel.

The Sport Model was designed as a field sidearm for hiking and camping in 1933 and had a 4.5" barrel.
Original versions were made with a fixed front sight in the first series, but by the latter half of production, an adjustable sight was available. The Match Target Model debuted in 1938 and featured a heavier barrel with a one-piece wrap-around grip known as the "elephant ear." A "Bullseye" Icon was roll-marked into the slide, lending the nickname "Bullseye Match Target." In 1941, as the US entered World War II, Colt ceased civilian production of the Woodsman but delivered 4000 Match Target models to the US Government as late as 1945. These pistols had oversized plastic two-piece grips and were marked "Property US Government", but appeared on the surplus market after the war. Colt resumed production of the Woodsman in 1948.
The three models remained the same but were built on a longer, heavier frame and had a magazine safety, automatic slide stop, and magazine release located at the rear of the trigger guard. Colt also introduced the less expensive Challenger model, which came equipped with fixed sights and featured a magazine release near the bottom side of the grip. The second series was manufactured from 1948 to 1955.
