Reputation
Shooters and collectors often describe the Targetsman as:
Very accurate for a field/plinking pistol
Smooth shooting with excellent balance
Well-machined compared with many modern .22 pistols
Less expensive than high-end Woodsman Match Target models, but still refined
A common collector description is that it sits “between" a casual plinker and a true competition target pistol.

Today the Targetsman is collectible because:
Colt discontinued the entire Woodsman line in 1977
Older Colt rimfires are known for craftsmanship
Original grips, magazines, and finish increase value significantly
