WHO used that gun? The business owner or the robber?
I can't tell from the picture.....could be a pistol that's been seriously ghetto-rigged.
robber's gun
may be a Colt Woodsman?

My guess also.....Colt Woodsman.

Hey Doc, Randy needs a bigger gun. He hit the guy four times, and so far, he's still alive. That appears to be a Colt, but I need a different view to tell for sure.

Are you sure that's it??
OP's pic shows gun that is totally rounded on top of middle area, while the references show the hex/oct straight sides all-around. Also, the rear sights on the OP's are box shape (straight edges all over) and the reference is rounded edge.

Hmmm... pretty sure. Here's another photo.

You guys would know better than me, and there are some similarities. Looks like the grips are slightly different, too, but maybe I've been helping my son too much with those see-the-difference computer games...
My bet is on a Ruger MK 1,2 or 3.

So what gun is it?

It's definitely not the Ruger.
Look at the rear sight.
There are also three distinct "patterns" on top of the perp's gun. These are also visible on the High Standard.

It almost looks like the "pre Woodsman" Colt. The model before they gave it the "Woodsman" name

It almost looks like the "pre Woodsman" Colt. The model before they gave it the "Woodsman" nameDoesn't have the "step-down shoulder" at the base of the barrel that the early series did, nor does it have the assembly lock plunger visible. Not a Woodsman.
OTOH, what parts of it we can see--including the Slide Lock Lever--look exactly like a High Standard Sport King.
:dunno:

I think you are right due to the slide lock, but if you take a look at the photo on page 99 of Ayoobs "Greatest Handguns..." you will see that the proto-Woodsman lacked a step down.

Yes, but from the picture there was a screw on the top of the slide (firing pin retainer?) that is missing on the gun in question leading me to believe your conclusion is correct.

If the stars align right, I may be able to ask a friend, who has a rather impressive High-Standard auto collection, to take a look at the pic tomorrow. If I get an excuse to go to town and if he is in.

I'd guess a High Standard Sport King. I think that was the last round/skinny-barrel model High Standard made.
Another vote for HS Sport King, we have one in the family.
perp shot 4 times with .45ACP
I'm guessing ball

Anybody want to chip in for a box of hollowpoints and a trip to a training school?

HP's yes, but I'm not sure a training school could improve much.
He was shot once, returned fire, and hit the perp 4 times in the upper torso.
For a civilian that's about as much as one could hope for.

I say High Standard, look at the barrel/receiver interface.
Randy needed HSTs or Gold Dots.....No doubt

Maybe an old Astra (Model 400?)The barrel looks too small in diameter for a 400.

With all respect, sir. The Savage 1915 barrel is shorter than than the gun the op pictured.
And the savage lacks rear sights like the one pictured.

Agree Hi-Standard, might be a military model with a taper barrel.
.
I'm more interested in the type of .45 ammo used? 4 "upper torso" hits and he survived? Definitely not center mass hits.
update
Spoke at length with the business owner today.
Perp made everyone lay on the floor and had tie wraps to use as cuffs.
Owner only went down on one knee instead of laying down.
Perp began to load loot from the safe while turning and looking back as he held the gun on the owner.
Perp stopped and tried to put tie wrap on owner and during a mild struggle, shot owner through and through from butt to front thigh.
Owner began to bleed heavily (on blood thinner meds)
Perp began to leave, turned back and pointed gun at owner just as owner pulled a .357 Colt Trooper from behind the counter.
Owner shot perp several times COM with the .357! Two hollowpoints pass through the perp and break the front store windows.
Perp still gets to the front of the store and ducks down behind the front counter.
Owner retrieves a semi (Bersa?) .45ACP and shoots perp several more times.
Perp still manages to crawl through broken front door glass and collapses on the sidewalk.
EMS rushes perp to hospital and he lives to face trial.
Owner rearms and upgrades security again. (He'd been robbed 12 days before.)
Take note:
Four or five COM shots with .357 and .45ACP and perp remains active and doesn't die.
