Dont worry im keeping a eye out for other models, I also keep trying to get good examples for the "right" price which makes it harder.

Are the High Standard pistols (all models) eligible for C&R if they are over 50 years old?

Nice pistol !
Looks like the box was cut for both yours and a model with a shorter barrel.

Just added another High Standard .22 to the collection. A Letter Model E. Top of the line model in that series. Early model with the Type I-B take down. Made in 1938. It's a heavy gun and weighs a couple ounces more than an unloaded USGI 1911A1.

I have a High Standard Supermatic Citation on consignment at Tyler Firearms in Halethorpe, 410-921-6393, if interested. Very nice collection you have there!!!

You're gonna love the Citation! I've got one of the last M107s built before they closed their doors in the early 80s. Has the 7 1/4" fluted barrel and is a tack driver. Much prefer it to a S&W M41 which I never took a cotton to.

Blasphemy!!!!! :war:

I own a few accurized High Standards and none of them come close to the M41 for accuracy. I can put 10 shot strings well within a dime at 50yds off a Ransom rest.

mawkie · Jun 17, 2015

Me thinks a shoot-off might be in order! Found the M41 to be too muzzle heavy for me. Not an issue shooting off a rest but I rarely shoot handguns off a rest. Like that I can bolt up a barrel or muzzle weight to the HS and "tune" it to what I want.

Well, not intend on picking up a pistol, I had driven by a shop in PA on way from my son's travel game. Was driving from Sat event near Philly and saw a LGS sign.
This place was nice. I did not even get to the C&R rifles when I saw this. Something I had been looking for and it was in really good shape. Small amount of wear on the top. No cracks in the grips and scratches on the grips are not that bad for a 1952 pistol.
I did not have an idea what the real value was but got it for $300 which was to me a good value with the condition it was in.
