I took one of my Colt Woodsman pistols out to the range today only to discover it had a problem. It would feed from the magazine properly, but would only fire the cartridge once in about 5 tries. Once I got home, I took it apart and discovered a broken firing pin. Ok, that's not the problem, here's the problem. It appears that a screw is broken off in the firing pin retainer, blocking the proper way to remove it (thread in the grip screw and lift out). So, now I have an otherwise nice Woodsman with a broken firing pin and no way to repair it! There is a little bit of access thru the extractor hook hole, but not much. I would be delighted to hear any and all suggestions about how to fix this!

Woodsman problem...........
Thanks to Prewoodsman, I finally was able to remove the firing pin retainer. It took a while to turn the fp retainer 180 degrees but once done I was able to use inertia to knock it out. Got lots of good tips and info over two phone conversations! Now all I have to do is wait for the new parts to arrive. Soon, I hope!
Got the parts from GunParts Company and now the Woodsman is a happy gun again! It cost me a few dollars for some small parts, but I did discover that I have a spare firing pin! Thanks again to "PreWoodsman" for his help and tutorials that are on line!
