stumbled on a High Standard Sharpshooter!

[SauerGrapes]

We had National Hunting & Fishing day at the club Saturday. Some of the members brought gear to sell. A nice old couple had a whole mni van filled with old stuff trying to sell it. Just as I was walking by he brought out a High Standard mod. 103 Sharpshooter in the original box with all the paperwork. My eyes lit up just seeing the box. I knew from talking to the bullseye shooters these older HS pistols were great shooters.

The gun is dead on at 25yds. out of the box! Not bad for 200 bucks.

You lucky rascal!! Do you want to make a quick $100 by selling for $300? Seriously, want a great find. They are such terrific guns. Congratulations on your new-to-you classic pistol. There is nothing any better quality than a High Standard especially the number series from Hamden. The only American made pistol to win an Olympic gold medal in the rapid fire event.

About twenty years go I got to shoot a High Standard supermatic trophy that belonged to a buddys dad, that was a sweet gun.

$200. That's a steal.

I do need to caution you about the danger of contracting the High Standard disease. Look what it has done to me.....so far!

Very nice! A Victor top unit, a Citation or two, Volquartsen Barrel for one (at least) and all with the push-button takedown so all appear to have been made before the company started on it's way out. Is the one with the stainless (?) frame a Mitchell? Makes my Tournament Model seem lonely.

Do you have any intel on the current manufacturers of HS pistols in Texas?

I have a pair of his n hers Supermatic heirlooms. Wonderful pistols. Congratulations on your find!
