| Colt Targetsman
Hello, I just bought a Colt Targetsman. It's in beautiful condition and is a sweet gun to shoot. I am concerned that the slide does not lock back after firing the last cartridge in the magazine. A friend of mine told me that this gun was manufactured before this feature was built in. This seems plausible to me although I can't find anything online that says this is true. I have another older Colt automatic pistol manufactured in 1955, not a Woodsman or Targetsman, that does lock back upon firing the last cartridge and I did not think the Targetsman was older than that. Can anyone tell me if this is the way the pistol should operate or is it malfunctioning? Thanks in advance. |

My references say the Targetsman is similar to the Huntsman, and the Huntsman is listed as "No hold-open". Here's a schematic for it that shows no slide stop. http://www.coltparts.com/pt_targetsman.html The Targetsman was made from 1959 to 1977. You can check when yours was made here: Serial Number Data Last edited by dfariswheel; 03-13-2012 at 06:28 PM. |
