Here is a colt woodsman that was purchased new by my great aunts husband in 1950. He later was found on a dead end road in an oilfield with this pistol by his side and a bullet hole in his right temple. I do not know if it was ever shot again. My great aunt kept it all those years and gave it to my dad before she passed away a couple of years ago. He gave it to me. I have not shot it. One of my safe queens. The check given to puchase it is dated 8/30/50 made out to Navel Co. for $60. GWB  | ||

Howdy GW, Intriguing history there. The second series woodsman are my favorites of the line. I've got a 4" Match Target 2nd series. If you didn't have such "history" with yours, I'd try to buy it from you. and BTW, they are worth a tad bit over 60 bucks now. Now go shoot it. They are joy. But whatever you do, don't leave it in a holster. Best, Gary (neat pig sticker also!) Damn right its loaded, it makes a lousy club. -JW | |||

That is the truth. I have never fired a handgun that felt so natural. I heard a rumor that the Woodsman was once the preferred tool of mafia hitmen. I don't know if it is true.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||
