I got a line on a neat 9-shot .22 revolver made by Hi-standard. I know nothing about them. I will post pics later, but it has smooth wood grips and a blued finish. It appears to be a solid revolver. Kind of a western style. Trigger pull seems decent. You thougths and opinions would be appreciated.
 
I have seen them around. Not as solid as High Standard Semiautos, but a lot of fun, and shoots good enough.
 
Hi Standard had a reputation for making good quality guns. While they are mostly known for their semi auto 22's, their revolvers were also popular and had a good reputation.

If the price is right and your looking for a good little gun for plinking then go for it.
 
A western style 9 shot double action revolver? What model is that?

I have (or should I say my son has) a HS Sentinel Deluxe 9 shot double action. The frame is alloy and a little worn. Great little entry level plinker. Good in single action, not so good double action, shoots where you aim it.

Not a Smith or a Colt by any means of the imagination.

If the price is right, go for it.

My father had one. I believe it was called the Marshall??? It's the very first gun I remember firing. I was about 3, so I have no idea as to how they were.
 
First revolver I ever shot was one of those. My dad still has it, looks like this.

price is in trade for an all-matching "super grade" SKS.

It looks exactly like that, but with a 5 or 6 inch barrel. I think the frame is metal, not alloy.

The one I shot had an alloy frame, fixed sight, and a much shorter barrel. It was a lot uglier than this too, but it shot really well. It belongs to one of our range officers, he paid $75.00 for it, and IMO it might be a $100.00 pistol.

That looks exactly like what I remember!!!! Pretty darned big for 3-4 year-old hands! What is it called? Thanks for bringing back that memory. It's one of my earliest memories. Just the other day, my wife and one of my daughters and I were talking about the youngest thing we could remember - and that was one of them.

Here's what I posted in another thread about the first gun we ever fired:

My first gun goes back so far, I can't remember. The first one I can remember was shooting a revolver (I think it was a H&R Marshall, 9 shot) at a partridge. I was not 5 yet, because I wasn't in school. My Dad let me shoot a partridge with it. And I got it. It was only over 30 years later that I learned he had shot the partridge in the morning, placed it on a stump then came back to get me. How did I find out? Well, my son was about 2 1/2. I shot a partridge in the head with my little Cooey 39. It was flopping around, so I reloaded and helped him "shoot" it. By the time he fired, the partridge was dead. We were at home, he was 16 or 17, when I admitted the horrible deception to him. My mother was there and asked me "Do you remember your first partridge....?" It was one of those unforgettable moments.
 
I had a 101. Great shooter, cool gun. Brother wanted it and I sold it to him. It is not high quality by today's standards but it is a great gun. I wouldn't pay more than $225 for a very nice example of one. If another crossedmy path I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
 
Revolvers are my favourite types of handguns to own and shoot. However, when it comes to rimfire revolvers they loose me a bit. I've owned both single and double action rimfire revolvers and have sold them off for semi-autos.....but I digress.

6 shot 22lr revolvers get boring pretty fast. 9 and 10 shot 22lr revolvers put them back into semi territory. For me anyway.
