Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman 2nd Series is a highly regarded semi-automatic .22 caliber target pistol produced by Colt from 1957 to 1977. Introduced as an evolution of the original Woodsman (1st Series, 1915–1955), the 2nd Series incorporated several design refinements to improve reliability, accuracy, and ergonomics while maintaining the aesthetic appeal that made the Woodsman a classic. Built around a single-action, fixed-barrel design, the 2nd Series featured a redesigned grip angle, improved sights, and enhanced internal components to provide smoother operation. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it was aimed at competitive target shooters, recreational plinkers, and small-game hunters, quickly earning a reputation for precision and balance. Over its production span, Colt offered several standard variants, including the Target and Sport models, each tailored for different shooting applications.

Over its production span, Colt offered several standard variants, including the Target and Sport models, each tailored for different shooting applications.
Throughout its production, the 2nd Series saw various sub-models and variations, including the Target model with a longer barrel and adjustable rear sights for precision shooting, and the Sport model featuring a shorter barrel and fixed sights for casual plinking and training. Some variations also included special grips, nickel finishes, or custom markings to appeal to collectors and competitive shooters. The 2nd Series remained in production until 1977, when it was succeeded by the 3rd Series with further refinements. Today, the Colt Woodsman 2nd Series is highly collectible, valued for its quality craftsmanship, accuracy, and the historical significance of being part of one of the most enduring American rimfire pistol lines.
