welcome to another gun nut who likes high standards
my favourite 22 is the high standard but in 22 rifle as that is all i could find, primarily the citation and the military model with the long fluted barrel
i have no knowledge of their 22 short models, but i know that the best high standards were the ones made at the original hamden factory. i bought a second citation, which was made at the second east hartford factory, and it was no where close to the quality fit and finish of the hamden model
ever thought about a pardini 22 short? more common to find, or a domino
i bought a used model for about $600 from a gun store in alberta, and it is terrfic and i don't think about getting a second. pm me for more details if you like. good hunting and shopping. regards.
