Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman Match Target 2nd Series represents one of the finest expressions of mid-century American rimfire pistol design, combining refined ergonomics, target-grade accuracy, and Colt’s signature craftsmanship into a platform beloved by competitive shooters and collectors alike. Produced from 1947 to 1955, the 2nd Series Match Target carried forward the distinctive “bullseye” heritage of the original Woodsman while incorporating mechanical and stylistic updates that improved reliability and handling. Its most immediately recognizable feature is the wide, heavy-profile “bull barrel,” which gives the pistol superb balance and recoil stability, complemented by the signature asymmetrical “elephant ear” target grips—large, wraparound walnut panels with deep checkering that anchor the shooter’s hand and provide exceptional control during slow-fire and timed-fire stages. Built with a crisp single-action trigger and Colt’s excellent internal machining, the Match Target delivers a clean, predictable break that makes it easy to milk maximum accuracy from match-grade .22 LR ammunition.

The 2nd Series also introduced a redesigned magazine release located on the frame behind the trigger guard rather than on the heel, improving speed and ergonomics for competitive use. Its sights—fully adjustable in the rear with a precision-cut front blade—were engineered for fine point-of-aim adjustments, making the pistol a serious precision tool rather than merely a plinker. Finished in Colt’s deep-polished blue, the Match Target exudes the visual elegance of the company’s post-war production era. Today, the Colt Woodsman Match Target 2nd Series remains highly prized for both its shooting performance and its collectible appeal, embodying a time when rimfire target pistols were built with the same artistry and mechanical integrity as Colt’s most celebrated centerfire arms.
