Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman 2nd Series Match Target in .22 LR with its 6-inch blued barrel represents one of the finest examples of mid-century American rimfire pistol craftsmanship, blending precision accuracy with Colt’s legendary fit and finish in a package purpose-built for competitive shooting. This generation, produced after World War II, introduced refinements that gave the Match Target a distinctly modern feel for its time—most notably the wider, more sculpted “bullseye” barrel profile that provides excellent balance and reduces muzzle rise, contributing to the pistol’s reputation for exceptional steadiness during slow-fire and timed-fire stages. The rich, high-polish bluing typical of Colt’s postwar production highlights the pistol’s graceful, streamlined contours, while the slab-sided barrel and trademark “Master Bullseye” medallion on the frame instantly signal its Match Target pedigree. The internal trigger system is renowned for its crisp, glass-like break and minimal overtravel, offering competition-grade performance right out of the factory, and the adjustable rear sight—paired with a finely machined Patridge-style front blade—delivers the precision sight picture demanded by serious target shooters. The ergonomics of the 2nd Series are also a standout feature, with Colt’s redesigned grips providing improved hand placement and a natural point of aim that enhance stability during extended range sessions. As a whole, the Woodsman Match Target from this era represents the confluence of artistry, mechanical excellence, and competitive functionality, making it not only a superb shooter but also an iconic collectible prized by those who appreciate the pinnacle of Colt’s rimfire pistol design.
