The Healthways Plainsman was designed and first produced in the sixties until 1987
It was modeled after the Colt Woodsman that it resembles, it’s also a decent shooter as well as being well made. Reliable and decent examples can be had for relatively little money. Good reasons for considering the Plainsman if you’re thinking about expanding your collection of vintage replicas pistols. You do need to know which version to buy if you are to avoid problems sourcing ammunition. A few models in .22 special ammo is needed. Eight or nine models were produced. ,
Actually, it started production in the late 50's. I have one. I also have one from the late 60's. Included is a rarer-than-hen's-teeth Healthways Plainsman MX175 BB semi-auto rifle with walnut stock! It can take both 8g & 12g Co2 capsules, unlike most of the pistols. Built about 1970.
