New To me, 1919 Colt Automatic target pistol, pre woodsman

Hognfrog · May 5, 2022

put a low ball bid on this weeks ago and was surprised to get an email last night to send in my C&R license so it could be shipped!!
Low Serial Number 8xxx, 1919 mfg. date. about 85 percent finish with a sharp and clean bore. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I believe one that old should be limited to standard velocity ammunition.
Nice Gun!

like I said over on the Colt forum, yes std. velocity only and I'll bet you're gonna love it

I have carried a 1936 vintage Colt Woodsman across the west for over 40 years. It was the gun I carried when I guided elk and deer hunters. Stunning accuracy, precision machined from steel. No MIM, plastic, or stamped parts. Mine was used to finish off over 25 head of big game and to put a few in the freezer itself. For me it balances perfect. Like pointing a finger. First time I ever shot mine was out of a moving vehicle at a flying raven that was munching down on a newborn calf. First shot dropped him in flight. I knew I had a keeper.

I'm a fan, too!

1931 and 1938, if I recall correctly.

I missed my first series after selling-off some guns a few years ago. I picked-up this one (1941) a few months ago to replace it. They really are functional works of art.

I have one from 1923 however it ain't as pretty as the ones above. It did come with 2 spare magazines. I took these pics at the lgs where I found it, since then I have cleaned it up.

I love mine except for loading the magazines!

I was surprised to see the "asking" price on these original 2 tone magazines.
