It had a 5.5" barrel and faux Stag grips. It was one of the first handguns I ever shot. The major gun companies could take lessons from High Standard on that one. Besides the innovative pawl gearing and full 9-shot capacity it was a SA "style" with dovetail REAL rear sight and swing out loading and ejection. The DA feature was a bit dubious as it took two fingers to pull. Must have been 12lb. DA pull! It shot quite well. It was stolen some years later, recovered, then stolen again!!! If you ever see one with red fingernail polish on the front sight, that might be it!

They even made them with .22 WMR cylinders, that would be a peach.

my gut says Ruger is going to do very well with the new - Gary Reeder, 2019-04-19, 11:49
