Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Targetsman .22 LR with a 6-inch blued barrel is a handsome and highly shootable rimfire pistol from Colt’s famed “Woodsman family,” offering the same elegant lines and precision-oriented ergonomics that made the series a mainstay among target shooters and small-game hunters for decades. Introduced as a more economical variant of the Match Target and Sport models, the Targetsman retained the proven Woodsman action—a smooth-cycling, straight-blowback design with Colt’s hallmark attention to machining and fit—while featuring a fixed rear sight and a slightly simplified overall configuration. Its 6-inch barrel provides a long sight radius that significantly aids in accuracy, making the pistol exceptionally steady during deliberate shooting and capable of tight groups with quality ammunition. The deep blued finish highlights Colt’s craftsmanship, with a polish that contrasts beautifully against the clean, almost minimalist profile of the upper receiver and the gracefully sculpted grip frame. The grips themselves, often checkered plastic or wood depending on production era, offer a comfortable hold that encourages proper trigger control, and the Targetsman’s single-action trigger is typically crisp and predictable, enhancing the pistol’s target-grade performance. Despite being positioned as a more affordable option, the Targetsman retains the refined feel and mechanical reliability Colt rimfires are known for, cycling standard-velocity and high-velocity .22 LR loads with ease. Collectors prize these pistols today for their connection to the golden era of Colt rimfire manufacturing, while shooters appreciate them as practical, accurate, and beautifully made tools that still perform at a high level on the range or in the field.
