Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman is one of the most celebrated .22 rimfire pistols ever produced, a masterpiece of John Moses Browning’s design genius and a benchmark for precision, balance, and craftsmanship in American sporting handguns. Manufactured from 1915 through 1977 across three distinct series, the Woodsman evolved in subtle but meaningful ways while always maintaining its reputation for impeccable accuracy and elegant styling. Its sleek profile, with a gently tapered barrel, slim grip frame, and graceful lines, makes it feel almost like an extension of the shooter’s hand, and its low bore axis and superb trigger contribute to a level of controllability and precision that set it apart from its contemporaries. The Woodsman’s blowback action is simple yet finely tuned, and its early series—especially First and Second Series examples—feature deep Colt polish and rich bluing that reflect a level of hand-finishing rarely seen today. Depending on the generation, the pistol could be found in various configurations such as the Target, Sport, or Match Target models, each tailored to a different style of rimfire shooting. The magazine release moved from the heel to the frame-mounted button in later versions, and grip designs evolved from sharply angled early frames to thicker, more modern-feeling grips on the Third Series. Regardless of the era or variant, every Woodsman carries with it a sense of refinement and heritage, embodying Colt’s commitment to producing premium sporting arms. Whether used for target shooting, plinking, small-game hunting, or simply admired as a collector’s piece, the Colt Woodsman stands as a timeless rimfire classic whose design harmony, accuracy, and iconic Colt character continue to make it one of the most beloved .22 LR pistols ever built.
