Download Healthways Plainsman 175 Manual

This time we’re looking at the Healthways Plainsman, a CO2 powered multi-shot replica of the classic Colt Woodsman. It’s an ugly little devil, looking like some kind of Frankenstein marriage between a Colt Woodsman and a Japanese Nambu, but it’s robust and reasonably powerful and accurate. Just make sure you know what you’re buying or you may find yourself with a replica that it’s almost impossible to find ammunition for.

Incidentally, don’t confuse this with the much rarer and more valuable Challenger Plainsman, a pump action pneumatic air pistol manufactured by Challenger Arms Corporation in the 50s and 60s. The Healthways Plainsman was designed and first produced in the sixties and it lies somewhere between the quality and technical sophistication of, for example, the Crosman 600 and the cheap and cheerful end of the market represented by the Marksman 1010. Like the Colt Woodsman that it (sort of) resembles, it’s also a decent shooter as well as being reasonably well made, robust and reliable and decent examples can be had for relatively little money. All good reasons for considering the Plainsman if you’re thinking about expanding your collection of vintage replicas though you do need to know which version to buy if you are to avoid problems sourcing ammunition. Development By the mid-1960s, the use of CO2 in air pistols was well established with, amongst other things, a range of Crosman CO2 powered replicas.

CO2 cartridges, mainly still the 8g type produced for soda makers, were readily available, relatively inexpensive and offered a reasonable number of shots per CO2. Noting that lots of shooters seemed keen to buy these pistols, US sporting and fitness goods manufacturer Healthways (“ America’s most unusual line of sporting goods products”) decided that a CO2 powered replica air pistol would fit nicely within its existing range which included outdoor and sports equipment such as diving gear.

For the design of what would become the Plainsman, Healthways employed engineer and gunsmith Kenneth R. Pitcher and in the course of the late 1960s several patents were registered for new air pistol designs. Finally, in 1969 Healthways launched the Plainsman, modestly claiming that it represented “ The most sensational invention in the history of the air gun world” and that it was “a cclaimed by gun experts as a new era in gas powered guns”. The slightly less exciting truth was that the Plainsman was a relatively simple and robust design which was sold fairly cheaply (early models retailed at around $12, around half the price of a Crosman revolver replica) and proved to be reliable and trouble free. “ Most sensational pistol ever made!” Hmm Healthways hyperbole from the early 1970s.

Other than an early modification to the piercing cap which allowed the use of larger 12g CO2 cartridges, the Plainsman stayed relatively unchanged during its production life. It sold well and during the 1970s a licensed version was sold by the Uma Hunting and Sporting Goods Company in Germany (which would later became Umarex) and marketed in Europe as the Perfekta Plainsman. However, despite the commercial success of the Plainsman, by the 1970s Healthways was not doing well. The company had actually filed for bankruptcy in 1963 and only continued to trade as it was bought over by a number of large corporate owners. Production of the various Plainsman models continued until 1980 when Healthways finally ceased trading.
