This Third Series Huntsman uses a single-action blowback system and a heel-style magazine release consistent with the model’s configuration. Chambered in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity, it offers the classic handling and lines associated with Colt’s Woodsman/Huntsman family.
The 4.5 inch tapered barrel pairs with fixed sights: a ramped blade front and a drift-adjustable rear notch. Slanted rear slide serrations provide the period-correct styling found on late-production examples.
Construction is blued steel throughout the slide, frame, and receiver, with checkered walnut grips for a traditional feel. Factory rollmarks include the Colt Hartford address and model/caliber markings. Overall length is approximately 9 inches.
Made in the USA in 1975, this example aligns with the Third Series feature set and comes with a Huntsman/Woodsman-pattern 10-round magazine and a leather belt holster for carry or storage.
