Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman 3rd Series Target Model in .22 LR with a 6-inch blued barrel represents the refined culmination of Colt’s long-running rimfire pistol lineage, blending mid-century design updates with the precision and craftsmanship that made the Woodsman name legendary among target shooters. Produced from 1955 to 1977, the 3rd Series introduced several ergonomic and mechanical changes, including a redesigned magazine release positioned at the heel, a slightly thicker receiver profile for increased durability, and revised grip frames that improved hand fit and balance, particularly during sustained shooting sessions. The 6-inch barrel on the Target Model maximizes sight radius and weight distribution, giving the pistol a naturally nose-forward feel that steadies the muzzle and helps shooters extract the full accuracy potential of quality .22 LR ammunition. Colt equipped this model with fully adjustable rear sights paired with a ramped front sight, allowing fine-tuned control over point of impact—a key benefit for target competition or disciplined practice. Its deep, highly polished blued finish showcases classic Colt metalwork, with the rich coloration and smooth surface that collectors admire. The grips, typically checkered walnut with a thumb rest on later examples, provide excellent tactile control, reinforcing the Woodsman’s reputation as one of the most comfortable rimfire pistols ever produced. Mechanically, the pistol uses a straight-blowback action that cycles smoothly and reliably, with a wonderfully crisp single-action trigger that breaks cleanly and contributes to the Woodsman’s renowned accuracy. Durable, elegant, and remarkably well-balanced, the 3rd Series Woodsman Target remains a standout for collectors and shooters alike—an iconic rimfire with the finesse of a hand-fitted target pistol and the dependable practicality of a field-ready sidearm.
