Woodsman Muzzle Brakes
From everything I have read, Colt did not issue a factory muzzle brake for the woodsman, so the questions is - who made these? Of the examples I have seen online, this is the most common brake. This is on a Colt Match Target made in 1952.

Thanks for the post. I have been shooting Bulls-Eye since 1965 The early post WW II years saw many people experiment with pistols . Looks like the picture you posted had a number of rounds shot through the pistol with Brake install ."notice the build up of carbon /lead " in the slots them-self. High standards made factory barrel with brake as part of the barrel and other guns with the brake held in place with 2 screws . S&W model 41 also had a factory brake available The build up of deposits did have negative results in group size as well as point of impact. For the most part a brake on any bulls-eye gun is a rare sight today. 0 -
This was a commercially available muzzle brake sold around 1950 for Colt and High Standard. It came in a yellow box. I don't reclaim the name and I am away from home so I can't look it up. It wasAdvertised in the American Rifleman magazines of the time. Top Shot may be the name.
Experiments have shown that even clean stabilizers compromise accuracy a little.0 -
Thanks for the replies. I'd like to take it off but haven't so far, since I dread what damage was done to the beautiful Colt blue underneath. 0 -

King Sight Company?0 -
No, not King. King was going down hill fast by the time this stabilizer was being sold. It was a small company and not very well known. I am presently stuck in Rochester MN but I will look it up when I get home. 0
