Colt Woodsman 1st Series 22 LR

The Colt Woodsman was one of America's most beloved .22 LR semi-automatic target pistols, produced for 62 years. The First Series (1915–1943) established the design: a fixed barrel, blow-back action, and superb accuracy that made it the benchmark for American .22 target pistols. It was used extensively for small-game hunting, plinking, and target competition. Military versions designated "Service Model Ace" were built on the Woodsman action for training purposes.
