Yeah, after you mentioned it I looked on You Tube. That doesn't look
like a lot of fun. Guess I'll bypass all the 'cowboy' SA revolvers and
stick with what I've got, although I may consider a .22 DA revolver.

I got a deal I couldn't refuse on my Colt Frontier scout (.22) but I
pretty much just use it to shoot bird shot. It is pretty tough on rats
out to 15 feet or so.

I have a Colt Target Woodsman if I want to do any serious .22 pistol
shooting.

I had a "Pre-Woodsman" for a while. Made in 1922.

My dad had a 1950's era woodsman. Worst shooting handgun he ever owned.
Traded it for a Benjamin air pistol. You could bench rest that Woodsman
and have a 5' pattern at 50'. The air pistol was hell on rats. Was the
one with a pump, not co2.

There must be something wrong with that woodsman. Mine is very
accurate and the target model comes with the micro sights so you can
really dial it in.

The one I had was a nice gun and seemed reasonably accurate considering
who was shooting it. I never tried to test and define it's accuracy.

One thing I remember is that it was not recommended to use with modern,
higher powered .22 rounds. Had to use target rounds or something like
that. The later Woodsman models made after a date that I can't remember
can use the higher charges.
