Colt Huntsman .22l/r pistol 10 shot

The Colt Huntsman was designed by none other than John Browning and was produced from 1955 until 1977. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Huntsman is inspired by the world-famous Luger pistol.

The grip panels are made from Walnut, inlaid with a beautiful checkering pattern with a rich, warm appearance that adds to the classic charm of the pistol.

The long barrel out front gives it a slightly muzzle-heavy feel, overall, the balance is excellent.

The Huntsman feels great in the hand. It balances nicely. The bore axis is surprisingly low for a pistol designed in 1955. Ergonomically, this pistol was ahead of its time.

The Huntsman sports a blued steel finish, which was usual for the guns of this time period.

The slide features deep-cut rear serrations, which make it easy to rack the slide and load the pistol.

The Huntsman’s trigger is nothing short of exquisite. There is zero take-up or creep. It’s not extremely light, but it’s far from heavy. A considerable portion of the pistol’s accuracy is owed to the outstanding single-action trigger.

The magazine release is located at the heel of the grip in European fashion. A small latch protrudes, and it must be flipped up to release the magazine.

The safety is a very simple affair. Raise it up, and it not only puts the pistol on safe but also locks the slide in place. It’s perfectly positioned so that the thumb of the firing hand can easily swipe it down so the pistol can be fired quickly.

The safety also functions as a slide lock, so you can lock the slide open should you desire. This is done by simply retracting the slide to the rear and then raising the safety, which fits into a cutout on the slide.
