This time a 1956 Supermatic! Again, grandad had an old gun now it's mine. The trigger can't be 8oz. It has a ported barrel. 1956 with a ported barrel! It has a set of vintage walnut target grips on the way!       He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | ||

Very nice! I haven't been to a gunshow in years, however back when I used to do so on a regular basis I would see High Standard pistols quite regularly. Victors, HD Militarys, etc. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

I remember them too. I could have picked up a Trophy or Citation for $400-$600. But in the late 1990s and early 2000s that was a chunk of change. The Hammerlis and Pardinis made them obsolete. Some of the High Standard Trophy models are fetching $1500. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

It's ported from High Standard. I've seen many with these ports. They had different ports in the 60's and 70's. I'll get video of it's effectiveness when the weather clears. I'll have the walnut stocks then. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

Along those lines, I remember seeing in a department store a Colt Woodsman Match Target in the fitted case and passing on it. I thought "$400 for a .22 pistol?!?" [shakes head] ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

In a similar vein, I recall back in the '70s seeing a Colt Woodsman Match Target in the fitted wood case in a department store. I passed on it, thinking "$400 for a .22 pistol ?!? Yeah, I know, I know. [shakes head] ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

These photos do this beautiful pistol no justice. He needs to get rid of that iPhone 10 and use that 12 I gave him. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

factory, they did several models that way, the later models had an optional comp that slid over the barrel, held on by 2 allen head screws https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

I was zinging shotgun shells off the top of my steels at the back of my range(50 yards. These things are stupid accurate. Even with the garbage Federal bulk pack from 2009 I'm shooting. Benched they're holding a 2" group. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||
