Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Challenger 2nd Series is a post-WWII, .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic pistol fed by a single-stack detachable magazine. Lesser known than some of Colt’s other era products, production spanned 5 years, from 1950 to 1955, with total production reaching approximately 77,000. The Challenger saved with fixed sights and fewer options because of growing demand for a more cost-effective rimfire platform. Barrel lengths were available in either 4.5 or 6 inches. The right-sided safety lever doubles as the slide release. The lack of additional controls, takedown levers, and the like add to the sleek, modern appearance of the piece. The lines and slide are slim, as is the single stack grip frame. The magazine release is at the base of the grip and actuates by pulling back slightly. If the magazine doesn’t willingly drop free, the extra lip on the base plate allows shooters to assist in the removal physically. This example will make a perfect choice for having fun at the range!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
