The Second Series Woodsman Target is defined by its push-button magazine release on the left side behind the trigger guard and its fixed barrel, straight-blowback action. This example aligns with the S-suffix serial format associated with late Second and early Third Series production, a useful identifier for collectors tracking model evolution.
The 6-inch round tapered carbon steel barrel and blued steel frame and slide reflect the Target configuration. Diagonal rear slide serrations provide a positive grasp, while the single-action trigger and manual safety offer familiar Woodsman controls.
Sighting is handled by a ramped, pinned front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight, giving the shooter precise control over point of impact. The checkered brown mottled plastic grips with Colt medallions provide a secure hold and period-correct appearance.
Chambered in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity, this pistol includes a correct Second Series magazine featuring the right-side notch that interfaces with the side-button catch frame. Overall fit, finish, and condition underscore its appeal as a clean, well-preserved 1950 Woodsman Target.
