I don't think that Colt makes the "Woodsman" any more, but you should be able to find them used at gun shows, and they're popular enough so that you can find magazines pretty easily.

But I do have to say that I really LOVE the Rugers. They just feel good, are relatively inexpensive, rugged, and reliable (except for what I said in my case for freshly cleaned). I really have no explanation for this: And other's I've spoken with (but NOT everyone) have had this happen as well.

The Woodsman is a great gun, and you can also find economical High Standards used with some frequency. I really like the Rugers, and the only thing they have going against them is the somewhat byzantine disassembly procedure. On the other hand, there are tons of aftermarket drop in parts to turn them into true tackdrivers.
