The Colt Woodsman is a sporting pistol manufactured by the American from 1915 to 1977. It was designed. The frame design changed over time, in three distinct series: series one being 1915–1941, series two 1947–1955, and series three being 1955–1977. Contents • • • • • • • • • • Design [ ] The Colt Woodsman sprang from a design by John Moses Browning and was refined by gunsmiths and designers at Colt's before its introduction in 1915. Without the constraints of the US Government interfering with his design, Browning developed the Woodsman with a short slide, no grip safety and no hammer.

These features were in place on his Model 1903 and 1911 designs, but a handgun for the civilian market did not require them. Variants and versions [ ] There are three series of the Colt Woodsman and each series had three models: Target, Sport and Match Target.

The serial numbers started at #1 which also provides a sure means of identification, with this serial number located on the front strap of the grip, and. If you have a 2nd or 3rd series gun and need a magazine, any of the Challenger and Huntsman or Cadet and Colt 22 magazine can be altered buy cutting.

First Series 1915-1941 [ ] The Target Model was the base model of the Woodsman and featured a 6' barrel with adjustable front and rear sights. The Sport Model was designed as a field sidearm for hiking and camping in 1933 and had a 4.5' barrel. Original versions were made with a fixed front sight in the first series, but by the latter half of production, an adjustable sight was available. The Match Target Model debuted in 1938 and featured a heavier barrel with a one piece wrap-around grip known as the 'elephant ear.'

A 'Bullseye' Icon was rollmarked into the slide lending the nickname 'Bullseye Match Target.' In 1941 as the US entered, Colt ceased civilian production of the Woodsman but delivered 4000 Match Target models to the US Government as late as 1945. These pistols had a plastic one piece grip and were marked 'Property US Government,' but appeared on the surplus market after the war. Second Series 1947-1955 [ ] Colt resumed production of the Woodsman in 1947. The three Models remained the same, but were built on a longer heavier frame and had a magazine safety, automatic slide stop and magazine release located at the rear of the trigger guard.

Special versions were made for the (100 Match Target Models and 2500 Sport Models); (925 Target Models) and 75 Match Target Models for the. The Air Force models had no special markings and most were sold as surplus through the Director of. The bulk of the Marine and Coast Guard versions were destroyed and sold as scrap metal.

Colt Woodsman Match Target Third Series 1955-1977 [ ] Colt changed the design of the Woodsman in 1955. The three Models remained the same, but the markings, grips and sights underwent slight changes. The most significant was relocating the magazine release from the rear of the trigger guard to the heel of the grip as on the first series. Colt also introduced new models, such as the less expensive Challenger and Huntsman Models equipped with fixed sights. From 1960 walnut stocks with a thumbrest were optional, in place of the standard black plastic stocks. Literary references to the Colt Woodsman [ ] Screenwriter and author: 'They came out at me, almost side by side, from the dressing room beside the wall bed - two of them - with guns.

The tall one was grinning. He had his hat low on his forehead and he had a wedge-shaped face that ended in a point, like the bottom of the ace of diamonds. He had moist eyes and a nose so bloodless that it might have been made of white wax. His gun was a Colt Woodsman with a long barrel and the front sight filed off.

That meant he thought he was good.' (emphasis added) Novelist: The rifle and the pistol are still the equalizer when one man is more of a man than another, and ifhe is really smarthe will get a permit to carry one and then drop around to Abercrombie and Fitch and buy himself a.22 caliber Colt automatic pistol, Woodsman model, with a five-inch barrel and a box of shells.

I advise him to get lubricated hollow points to avoid jams and to ensure a nice expansion on the bullet. He might even get several boxes and practice a little. Now standing in one corner of a boxing ring with a.22 caliber Colt automatic pistol, shooting a bullet weighing only 40 grains and with a striking energy of 51 foot pounds at 25 feet from the muzzle, I will guarantee to kill either [boxer] or before they get to me from the opposite corner.

This is the smallest caliber pistol cartridge made; but it is also one of the most accurate and easy to hit with, since the pistol has no recoil. I have killed many horses with it, cripples and bear baits, with a single shot, and what will kill a horse will kill a man. I have hit six dueling silhouettes in the head with it at regulation distance in five seconds. It was this type of pistol that Millen boys’ colleague, Abe Faber, did all his killings with. Yet this same pistol bullet fired at point blank range will not dent a grizzly’s skull, and to shoot a grizzly with a.22 caliber pistol would simply be one way of committing suicide.'

(emphasis added) Novelist: 'We chattered on in a desultory way but I found it harder to concentrate on the prettier points of fish-frying. Texas businessmen doubtless often carry pistols but I found it hard to believe that they would favour the inconvenient length of a Colt's Woodsman, which is a small calibre, long-barrelled semi-automatic used only for target shooting and, more rarely, by professional killers who know they can plant its small bullet in just the right place. As a handy weapon of self-defence for the ordinary citizen, it simply doesn't exist. Moreover, Texas businessmen, I felt sure, would be unlikely to house their pistols in Bryson rapid-release spring-clips.'
