Hi-Standard Model H-D Military, 22LR -99% FACTORY 2 MAGS

The Hi Standard H-D is a rarity in the .22LR semi auto field; when most manufacturers were producing hammerless semi autos, HI-STANDARD bucked the trend and brought to market their Model H-D; the “H” stands for hammer. Hammer guns have some advantages over internal mechanisms in that it is easy to see what condition the gun is in and makes for a great training gun. During WWII, the US armed forces bought several thousand Model H-Ds for training, this is why Hi-Standard later added the word “Military” to the model name to honor its war time achievements, and it made for a great patriotic advertisement too! This example was built in 1947 and is serial numbered 208807. The gun has 99% factory bluing on the receiver and trigger guard, the barrel is 98% with a touch of righteous holster wear at the muzzle. The grips are in excellent condition, wood to metal fit is superb. The pistol has a 6 3/4inch barrel exhibiting sharp rifling and mirror bore, the action is smooth with the trigger breaking crisply at 4lb. The gun has its factory original two-tone 10- shot magazine and one spare. HI-STANDARD set the standard for high quality yet affordable pistols and this gun is no exception, a wonderful addition to any high-quality collection and an ideal gun to take to the range for a day of plinking. Thanks for looking!
