COLT WOODSMAN 22LR W/HOLSTER YR 1922

Description The 1922 Colt Automatic Target Pistol, known today as the “Pre?Woodsman,” is the first?series rimfire design created by John Moses Browning and built with the slender, balanced handling that later defined the Woodsman line. This early model features a 6 5/8 inch pencil barrel, a slim grip frame, and a traditional blue finish, all characteristic of Colt’s precision machining of the era. As a standard?velocity .22 LR pistol, its frame and internal geometry were engineered specifically for lower?pressure ammunition, preserving longevity and maintaining the smooth cycling these early Colts are known for. With classic single?action operation and Browning’s hallmark ergonomics, the Pre?Woodsman remains a historically significant and technically refined rimfire pistol.
