The Match Target Second Series is identified by its -S serial suffix convention and its left-side push-button magazine release. The left side of the frame carries the Rampant Colt over "MATCH TARGET" marking associated with this model. These details, along with the fixed-barrel, straight-blowback design, place this example in the early 1950s era of Woodsman production.
The 6-inch heavy, slab-sided barrel features longitudinal lightening grooves and a crowned muzzle, designed to deliver consistent balance and clean exit of the projectile. Sighting is handled by a pinned blade front and a square-notch rear sight adjustable for both windage and elevation, giving the shooter precise control at the target.
Mechanically, this pistol uses a single-action trigger and a fixed-barrel, straight-blowback system in .22 LR. Capacity is 10+1 via a single-column detachable magazine, and this example includes one steel magazine with a side loading button. The magazine release is a left-side push-button, a hallmark of the Second Series.
Construction is all carbon steel with a blued finish on the frame and receiver. The installed two-piece checkered wood target stocks with a left-side thumbrest are non-factory replacements, tailored for a supportive target grip profile.
