Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman is a semi-automatic sporting pistol produced by Colt’s Manufacturing Company in the United States from 1915 to 1977. Originally designed by John Moses Browning and refined by Colt’s engineers before its release, the Woodsman quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest .22 caliber target pistols of its era. Browning’s design omitted features such as a grip safety and an exposed hammer—common on his earlier Model 1903 and Model 1911 pistols—since they were unnecessary on a handgun intended for precision sport shooting. Over its production span, the Woodsman went through three distinct series: the First Series (1915–1941), Second Series (1947–1955), and Third Series (1955–1977). Within each series, Colt offered three main variants: the Target Model, Sport Model, and Match Target Model. In addition to these primary versions, Colt introduced several economy-priced offshoots built on the Woodsman action but simplified for lower cost.

In addition to these primary versions, Colt introduced several economy-priced offshoots built on the Woodsman action but simplified for lower cost.
The first was the Colt Challenger (1950–1955), which retained the Woodsman’s overall design but used fixed sights and other cost-saving features. It was followed by the Colt Huntsman (1955–1977), a long-running budget model offered alongside the Third Series Woodsman, and the Colt Targetsman, an economy variant equipped with an adjustable rear sight. Although more affordable, these pistols shared much of the Woodsman’s handling, durability, and accuracy, expanding the line’s appeal to both casual shooters and collectors.
