Colt designated this full-size rimfire autoloader as part of its mid-1990s lineup, and it is commonly known as the Colt Cadet. The 1994 manufacture date places it within that production run, and the PH-prefix serial pattern aligns with this model family.
The 4.5-inch heavy bull barrel is paired with a ventilated top rib for added rigidity and sight alignment. A fixed front blade sits on the rib, while the rear sight is fully adjustable with windage and elevation screws, allowing precise zeroing with a variety of .22 LR loads.
The pistol operates on a blowback-driven, semi-automatic action. It features a matte stainless receiver mated to a black polymer frame, with checkered polymer grips bearing Colt medallions for a secure, consistent hold.
Capacity is 10+1 in .22 LR, and this example includes two detachable steel magazines. Made in the United States, it retains its original case and factory paperwork, adding completeness to the package.
