I have one and I love it.

It didn't function well at first but it was a matter of the preservative they put on it. Once I broke it down, wiped the parts, and oiled it everything changed. After that it has fed and functioned reliably.

The only criticism I have is that the rear sight kept drifting on it's own. It even fell out at one point. So I took the sight out and tapped one side of the dovetail to tighten it. I had to tap the sight back into place and it has stayed put since.

What I really like is how closely it resembles the 1911 Colt. I am a 1911 guy and this has a natural feel, comes on target, and shoots just like the full sized models. If they had made it in .32 ACP/7.65 mm I'd carry it concealed.

I just have the basic model.
This is not a picture of my pistol but it is a picture of the same model:

I have one. Works well and fun to shoot. I do wish the sites were better.

I HAD one, until my daughter got ahold of it !

She absolutely loves it. Almost as much as her old Ruger Bearcat.


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

I bought my daughter in law a Browning Buckmark for Christmas + she loves it. I have my S+W M-41 but I would still like to find another vintage Colt Woodsman. I have enough Cabelas points saved up + that is where I would like to use them but I don't know if they have their fine guns room anymore. Does Bass Pro have one; anybody know?


Never mistake motion for action.
