Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Officer’s Model Match, Fifth Issue, represents one of the most refined target revolvers of the post-war era, produced from 1953 to 1969 and known for its exceptional accuracy and hand-fitted craftsmanship. Offered in .22 LR, .22 Magnum, and .38 Special, it was built around a 6-inch heavy tapered barrel designed to provide excellent balance and stability for precision shooting. This model introduced several key upgrades, including Colt’s Accro fully adjustable rear sight—an innovation that would become standard across many later Colt handguns—and the long, wide, diamond-checkered Target hammer that would later gain fame on the Colt Python. Its robust double-action mechanism, paired with crisp single-action capability, made it a standout choice among competitive marksmen and disciplined target shooters.

Its robust double-action mechanism, paired with crisp single-action capability, made it a standout choice among competitive marksmen and disciplined target shooters.
This particular example, chambered in .22 Magnum, combines the model’s hallmark accuracy with the added performance of a high-velocity rimfire cartridge, making it both an effective field revolver and a highly capable target gun. The blued finish showcases Colt’s characteristic polish, while bright nickel variants remain considerably rarer and more collectible. Checkered walnut Target grips with inlaid silver Colt medallions complement the revolver’s refined presentation and provide a secure, ergonomic hold. Altogether, this Officer’s Model Match reflects Colt’s dedication to producing premium sporting revolvers during the mid-20th century and remains a desirable piece for both shooters and collectors today.
