Awesome video. My dad had this exact pistol when I was growing up and this was the gun I learned to shoot on growing up in the 70's. I carried it all over the woods walking and exploring with my sister and alone as a kid. I considered it "my" gun for years . Unfortunately I found out much later that it was not actually my father's gun but his brother's and my dad was only taking care of it because my uncle didn't want a pistol the house when my cousins were still living there. My Uncle took it back at some point when I was in college and I never saw it again. :( Funny enough you look even more like my father than any of his four brothers. We must have some common ancestry somewhere not too far back. One of these days I will find myself one of these to add to my own collection. Thanks for the memories.
I have the same peice the triggers are second to none I love shooting mine it is by far my most accurate pistol I wouldn’t hesitate to buy many many more I also have the I believe the 3” barrel model I can’t say enough about the light and extremely crisp trigger literally nothing beats it including some of my high end 1911’s
Thank you for this great video. I am a proud owner of a High Standard Supermatic Citation Model 104 manufactured in 1965. I love the design, simplicity and accuracy of that gun. A am using it for my weekly training and competition.
I bought a spring kit from Wolff and replaced every spring in the gun. Its a heck of a way to learn how your firearm operates and gave me a chance to really clean my 50 yr old gun...
Wow! That brought back some memories. I learned to shoot on a High Standard Supermatic - pretty much the same pistol you were shooting, only with a compensated bull barrel and adjustable target sights. The year was 1971, and back then there were only two commercial pistols you could buy that were suitable for bullseye competition - the S&W 41 and the High Standard. GREAT pistols, and a VERY enjoyable video. Thanks for posting!
I have my grandfather's Sport King as well, also in mint condition, from the early 1950s. It's a great plinking gun, and quite accurate. In fact, I like it so much that I let a friend play with it, and ended up selling him a different Sport King from the estate of a deceased Uncle. What's funny about the guns is their peculiar ammo pickiness, in that mine only likes CCI mini mags, and his jams on mini mags but is great with Federal. My understanding is that you really need to keep the clearances in the mags spot on, and I have the adjustment tool to do that. It works well. My other grandfather's gun is a pre WWI 1911, and I shoot it in his honor too. It's great how these guns bring back memories.
I learned that you are not supposed to shoot High Velocity ammo thru them so maybe you should try some CCI standard velocity. 1070 fps on the label I believe.
That is a beautiful classic. I have always liked this style because my father's favorite pistol was a Ruger mark 1 with the longer Barrel and It was the pistol I learned on. So I have always liked this shape and style pistol. I would love to have the old Luger 9 m m also. Thanks
Hello again. Beautiful pistol you have there with a great history. I have a 1951 (my birth year) lever model Sport King with a 6.75" barrel and a 1956 M-101 Dura-Matic with a 4.5" barrel. I had a 1953 Sport King, also with a 6.75" barrel, but gave it to a friend as a birthday present. He's a very good friend. :-) Love shooting both of them. With their Luger style slanted grips it's like pointing your finger.
Please remember always use, Standard velocity .22 ammo. They were not designed for High Velocity. The older Hi Standard Pistols were made by hand. Excellent quality and made of U.S. made steel.
That's quite a Family Treasure Heirloom !! I purchased a used High Standard Model 'A' (1940s), several years ago at Howellsgunstore.com in Gray Maine. Excellent little plinker and very accurate ! Only one magazine and I hope to find another magazine for this pistol at The Sportsmans Guide once they become available again. Speaking about Grandfathers and Family Heirlooms, my grandfather was in the Army in France during WWI and he had brought home quite a bit of Brass Shell Trench Art, which I have to this day from my mother. My Cat loves to rub up on these Artillery Brass Antiques ! ......Darn !! I wish my Grandfather brought home his 1911, or a German P-08 Luger, instead of all that Vintage Doughboy Artistic Brass ! Lol !
I've got a suggestion for you. I've got a Ruger Mark II Government Target Model that's 30 years old, and several years ago I noticed that it just wasn't grouping as tight as it did new. I took a .22 brass bore brush, wrapped a patch around it, impregnated it with fine valve grinding compound, and ran it through my barrel about ten times. That got all the old lead fouling out of the barrel, and accuracy went right back to where it was new. You have to make sure you clean the crap out of 'em after using valve grinding compound since it's very abrasive, but it can really do wonders for old, leaded barrels. JAT
nice. I acquired one that is pretty worn and missing the front sight. Eventually I'd like to locate a replacement front sight and potentially try to clean up the finish.. Definitely an interesting pistol the way it breaks down. :)
Good shooting Mr. Funk. considering it's a Field Grade gun with fixed sights. High Standard semi-autos are the best American .22 Target pistols ever made.
So neat, I searched for this because I was looking at my passed on Grandfathers High Standard 22 lr m103 from aug 71, His name was Richard as is mine. I was Born in Sep of 71. Mine also has all the original paperwork as well as the box. I am no gun expert but retired military and ex LEO and I don’t think it’s been fired.
You have a treasure. No, it’s not the kind of treasure that’s worth many thousands of dollars, but the kind that reminds you of someone you loved every time you see it, and the kind that reflects the craftsmanship of a byegone era. I’m tempted to tell you to take it out and shoot it, but I’ll leave that decision to you. I know holding and shooting the one in the video is kind of like shaking hands with my grandfather again. Take care.
Hrfunk, reminds me of my fathers mint condition Supermatic 102 Tournament, a true piece of top quality craftsmanship. It makes me want to weep when I think that the British Government sawed it up and destroyed it along with thousands of other great classic pistols, even including historically important iWW2 "bring backs" like PO8's P38's etc in the 1997 handgun ban.
I have a similar High Standard, except mine is the Flite King LW-100 which my Dad purchased it new in 1953. I believe the main difference between the Sport King and the Flite King is that mine only shoots 22 shorts.
I have a 1939 model "B" 6 inch barrel shoots good.. I realy never seen this model before / i like it !! it is not as odd or bulky as many other 1950s or 60s models..
I just got one of these with the regular pistol barrel and a 17in rifle barrel with a metal stock. Beem looking and can't find any like it. Wish I knew more abt the rifle barrel and metal stock.
I have 2 1956 high standards. A sport king and field king. One was my fathers and 1 my grandfather. I think both need new magazines. I've adjusted the feed lips with the high standard magazine tool but seems like bullet doesnt sit in correct position to feed properly. Triple K sells aftermarkets may order 1. When they work, their super accurite.
I have the same gun with a shorter barrel. Ammo makes a big difference in accuracy. You can also make them feed better. You can adjust the feed lips. I had to do that on mine. You can't break them.
can you offer any tip/suggestions on adjusting the feed lips? mine feeds the shells almost standing upright, so I pretty much lead each shell before firing.
Just bought that exact gun today and promptly ran a 100 rounds thru it and it has the nicest trigger on it I was expecting some mushiness kinda like my Ruger 22/45 and proceeded to shoot prolly my tightest group using a pistol and it’ll only (prolly) get better when I remember my spectacles next time
Thinking of getting this. Know where its for sale, but it has a different grip on it that I've never seen before. Matches your hand perfect with groves for fingers like someone gripped clay then modeled it after that. I already have a mark 1, but I've heard they're very accurate compared to those.
@@hrfunk i don't think so. Looks like someone put grips on it with indents for everyone one of their fingers. I've never seen grips like it in all images I've looked at
Among the MANY stupid things I DID NOT do when I had the chance was never purchasing a High Standard .22 pistol. But then I did the exact same thing when it came to buying a "JM" stamped Marlin .444 when I was but a sprig on the old family shrub. Well, I managed to find and purchase the rifle recently (minty) and know where, as of last Friday, I can get a (minty....minus box and included propaganda paperwork) High Standard .22 pistol very similar to the one your Grandfather sold you.....I guess I'm just going to have to get over myself and come up off the hip for the one I found and buy it while I can. By the way, is my already questionable memory failing me, or did High Standard not produce some of the finest, most accurate, .22 pistols for the U.S. Olympic teams for a number of years? I seem to recall that being the case at least. Excellent video on a pistol I have always admired. Keep 'em comin'!!!
Thanks for the info. I have/had a rather vague memory from my youth about gun magazine articles and even a TV episode (yeah it's been a LONG time) or two that spotlighted High Standard .22 target grade pistols used by our Olympic teams.
Can you do a video on the disassembly please. I just one of these passed down to me. The video I saw online was a different version. The one I have looks like yours. I don’t want to mess with it as it’s older than what I’m used to and I don’t want to mess it up
I’m not well versed in the history of High Standard. I know a little. They were around for a long time, and they’re known mostly for their good quality .22 Semi-auto pistols. They did make a few other types of firearms, and they had occasional government/military contracts. Beyond that, you’ll have to consult someone more knowledgeable than me.
Wow, you are one good shot! That is one accurate gun to boot. Now, I have to go to the range and practice. I've got a couple of Hi-Standards but they are much better shots than me!
I zapped a beer bottle at 100yds with a Sportking when I was much younger and better. That's the only .22 pistol I want to own...it's also the pistol I learned to shoot with. Our parents were a lot smarter than we were.
I have one of those, only pistol i currently own. i enjoy shooting it but im just not a super big fan of design, it does however shoot anything i put throw at it. I dont know if mine is as old as yous though.
cowboycarl121 Threy are a design from another time. They lack some of the modern styling/bells and whistles you’ll find on current production pistols. As you note, though, they work well and they are quite accurate. Back when they were built, that is all that really mattered.
Hi, Can you do a disassembly video of your High Standard? I received one after my grandfather passed and its the same exact model you have. I have bin looking for the videos none are of that gun. Please and thank you
It's pretty easy once you know. Lock the action back. Put a rag on the side of a chair. Put your hand on the gun as you're ready to shoot. Press down on the barrel button against the rag. It will depress. You will be able to remove it. Make sure the action is locked back or it'll take off. Once the barrel is off then you can slowly let the slide forward. Watch for any parts so you can see how to put it back together.
tell you a fun story about a gun identical my grandfather was a mobile butcher for 40 years after ww2 he used a hi standard with cci minimags and a winchester pre model 06 he one day after a buffalo with its throat slit got up tried to kill him and part drunk he calmly took aim and shot that mad animal right between the eyes and dropped it from a full sprint right at his feet
If you can import them, check with Numerich Gun Parts. If not, I don’t know of a source in your country. Maybe someone else here will have a suggestion.
Is it cold in here or am i crazy ??(that's what Charles Manson said Lol )no just kidding do older (vintage) 22 guns sounds different then thenew ones when you shoot them ? The older ones were made hit very different steel and by hand compare to today's guns ,if you can shoot them side by side you can tell the difference.

that's a neat old .22 pistol you've got there. I got my grandfather's Winchester .22 Bolt action when he passed, and I need to fire it sometime.
Connor Pettit Thank you! Definitely take that Winchester out for a spin. You won't regret it! Take care.
Nice tribute to your grandfather and a nice minty High Standard pistol HR!

Great story behind the gun. I have my Dad's High Standard Model B. Still a great shooter.
Tom Hoffman They really are great old pistols!
I'm amazed at how many versions and variations there are of these pistols. It's nuts I tellya!
Nuts in a fun way!
A nice old guy to remember your grandfather by!
Grand old pistol, take care of it. Craftsmanship such as this firearm is long gone.
😎👍🏼 Awesome Tribute to your Grandfather I know. He's smiling whenever you shoot
Chris Chiampo I hope so! Thanks for the comment.

Eventually I'd like to locate a replacement front sight and potentially try to clean up the finish..
Definitely an interesting pistol the way it breaks down. :)
Check out “The Old Western Scrounger” they might just have your sight.

Good shooting Mr. Funk. considering it's a Field Grade gun with fixed sights. High Standard semi-autos are the best American .22 Target pistols ever made.
great old gun if it shoots like mine, it is one of my favorites.

I don’t know about a different sound, but they certainly feel good!

I'm not sure. I just happen to know when my grandfather bought this one.

Thanks for the story. Nice pistol.

Nice gun, I have one too, I need original mag for it, if you know where i can get one please let me know.. THe aftermarket mags are garbage.
I’m sorry, but I really don’t know where you can find one.
How do U ajust the sights.?
What kind of ammo cycles we'll in yours mine only shoots stingers good
Mini mags work well for me.
tell you a fun story about a gun identical my grandfather was a mobile butcher for 40 years after ww2 he used a hi standard with cci minimags and a winchester pre model 06 he one day after a buffalo with its throat slit got up tried to kill him and part drunk he calmly took aim and shot that mad animal right between the eyes and dropped it from a full sprint right at his feet
Ha, ha! I’m glad that worked!
My father has the same gun first pistol I ever shot some day it will be mine and some day it will be my son's.
They are great old pistols. I certainly love having my grandfather's.
High viz targets would help immensely......
Coincidentally, I got some of those and started using them in my recent video on the S&W Model 19.
Try American Eagle copper HPs, Mine loves them best
Thanks, I'll give that a try!
Are you sure it was the pistol hitting low, left?
JDL9615 The pistol was hitting slightly high (from 30 feet), and slightly to the left. I was holding low and to the right to try to compensate.
Sure, blame the gun! :) Just having some Independence Day fun!
JDL9615 No problem. Same to you!
I am from South Africa how can.I can a magazine for a Supermatic Citation ?
If you can import them, check with Numerich Gun Parts. If not, I don’t know of a source in your country. Maybe someone else here will have a suggestion.

I hope with the ban bill you are not made a semi automatic criminal.
Fortunately, I don’t think that bill will succeed.
@@hrfunk Out here in the Kansas outback they wouldnt comply anyway.
Mine was made in 1953
Does anybody have any information on the field king model
Trying find high standard barrel that alen screw holding the barrel sport king -m
Check Numerich Gun parts. You might get lucky and find what you need there.
There is nothing on these guns
