Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Targetsman was introduced in the late 1950s as part of Colt’s highly respected Woodsman family of .22 LR pistols, offering shooters a more affordable yet still exceptionally well-made target and sporting handgun. Built on the same proven frame and action as the Woodsman, the Targetsman featured a fixed rear sight, tapered barrel, and Colt’s famously crisp single-action trigger—providing excellent accuracy and handling for plinking, small-game hunting, or informal target work. Produced only until the mid-1970s, it represents the final generation of Colt’s classic rimfire semi-autos before production ceased entirely, giving it added historical appeal. Today, collectors value the Targetsman for its reliable performance, clean lines, and connection to one of Colt’s most beloved pistol platforms, especially when found in high condition with original finish and grips.
