For precision shooters and collectors who value classic lines and target-grade controls, a well-prepared semi-auto target pistol can be a rewarding tool on the range. Evaluating condition, ergonomics, and sighting options is essential when assessing a used classic for accurate shooting and long-term value.

COLT MATCH TARGET is offered in the Semi Auto category and arrives as a package that speaks to both shooter use and collectibility. This example comes with two 10-round magazines, the original box and owner’s manual, contoured wooden grips, a thumb safety and an adjustable rear sight. Note that the bluing is fading and there is pitting on the barrel — factors to weigh when considering accuracy potential and any restoration. Shop this product

Design and features that matter

From an expert standpoint, the inclusion of two 10-round magazines is practical for competitive strings and extended practice without frequent reloads. The contoured wooden grips provide a consistent hand placement and tactile feedback that helps maintain sight alignment under recoil. The adjustable rear sight is the primary tool for dialing in point of impact at different distances, which makes this model useful for precision-focused sessions on the 25–50 yard lines.

Condition considerations

The listing’s note that bluing is fading and there is pitting on the barrel is frank and important. Pitting can affect barrel harmonics and, depending on severity, may influence accuracy. A gunsmith inspection can determine if the barrel is serviceable as-is or if replacement/refinishing is warranted. The presence of the original box and owner’s manual increases provenance and resale value.

Practical use and ownership notes

As a Semi Auto entry with a noted Colt pedigree, this MATCH TARGET appeals to shooters who want traditional controls—a thumb safety and adjustable sights—alongside collectible appeal. The model is listed at $959.99, reflecting its condition and included accessories. For shooters who prefer specific calibers, verify chambering before purchasing since the listing does not specify caliber.
