El Gato,
What happens in Nebraska, stays in Nebraska :-)
You are right: the Colt Woodsman is a great little target pistol, and good to teach people with. Hmmm, another gun I need to buy!
The Woodsmen in question belonged to my father in law. He passed on to the great target range and woodworking on the other side a couple of years ago. His sons each took a Woodsman, but they also gave me one, actually a or Match Target Model, with the heavy slab sided barrel. Haven't fired it since then, but it sits in my safe. I was honored when they brought it upstairs from the safe the very day of the funeral. Mother in law approved too. She also paid me a compliment that day. One of FinL's cousins had car problems (it was February and colder a well digger's azz) the morning of the funeral. The car got towed in to the local dealer (around 20 miles, the funeral was in a small town with no car dealers), and he needed someone to drive him to go get it. Mother in law said "one of the boys can take you", my wife volunteered "Gato can take him", and MinL said "I was including him in "one of the boys".
