    SOLD to a Colt collector.
    Price reduction:
    $445 Includes 2 magazines (10 rounds) and the original box with paperwork.
    I saw pricing for this Colt model on GunsInternational.com: $750.00
    On Gunbroker I saw a starting bid for $489 + shipping, taxes & FFL fees.

    I bought this August 2018 from a member who was retired and said he bought this Colt Target .22LR new b/c it was a Colt, but never shot it, not being a .22LR shooter b/c he liked the bigger guns.
    I bought it since I liked the idea of an older, never-shot pistol and especially a Colt.
    I shot it very little myself since I had so many different .22LR range guns.
    It shot very well for my old eyes, and I never even got around to putting a red dot optic on it: a pic shown below.

    I have been trimming the safe the past few months making room for other guns I have wanted to try and to reduce the number of guns I have with retirement hitting this summer.

    A bit of history on the Colt .22LR Target:
    When this manufacturer stopped making the Woodsman in 1977, it was without a rimfire pistol until the introduction of the stainless steel Colt .22 in 1994.
    Colt only made it from 1994-98.
    The Manual in the original box is dated 1995.
    A target version, appropriately called the Colt Target .22LR, came out a year later.

    This model features a polymer grip with an integral trigger guard and a 6-inch bull barrel with a recessed muzzle crown.
    A full-length rib with adjustable sights are also standard equipment.
    This ventilated rib on the top of the Colt Target .22LR was grooved to accommodate Weaver-style scope rings, allowing the installation of an optic sight, and was the mounting surface for the open sights.
    It has a partridge-type front blade and the rear sight has a click-adjustable windage and elevation screws.
    The manual safety is a crossbolt in the rear of the frame.
    The rear sight was recessed into the rear of the rib.

    A member here said he'd put 45,000 rounds through one he has.
    Another member I know has had one for years, but didn't mention the round count.
    I have read online in two places that it will take Beretta U22 Neos magazines.

    Must have LTCH and IN driver's license.
    I live in Wanamaker (SE Indy outside of E465).
    No shipping.

    Took this pic today at the range. I think the gun can shoot better than I can.
    If I kept it, I'd put a red dot on it.
