My Favorite .22

[Zilmo]

I sort of inherited this from a friend's dad. It is a Colt Woodsman Sport model I think. The serial number dates it to either 1933 or 1934. It has not been refinished, and the only wear is around the muzzle. What a sweet little piece.

Beautiful handgun!

Tell me, how does it shoot, or do you plan on shooting it?!

Simply marvelous!

I don't take it out often, but it shoots beautifully. VERY accurate. I think I may use it as a teaching tool for my 14 year old daughter.

Very nice little gun! I believe those early ones were only designed to fire standard velocity ammo, so do stay away from the HV ammo. You have a definite collector's item there!

Bob Rayburn's site will tell you everything you will ever need to know about the Colt Woodsman.

His 'Pocket Guide' is worth the money.

+1 on MAJ Bob Rayburn. Plus, he lives in your area (or he used to) and is a nice guy to talk to.

Classic. What a beautiful gun you have there.
