Hi Standard Supermatic Trophy

My Dad used to shoot this at Camp Perry back in the 50's

Colt Commercial Mdl 1911a1 (denoted commercial by the -C in the s/n)

Another one my Dad used to shoot at Camp Perry back in the 50's.

He had it built as a bullseye gun with a NM barrel and bushing.

Originally blued, the finish was about 60% gone, so about 20 years ago I had it refinished in nickel and black phosphate. Later I added the extended guide rod.

A Browning Hi Power Limited Edition 1 of 1000 that I got a very good deal on.

Cool guns -- I have a few HS guns also... They kind of sit in the safe anymore, but every once in a while they make it to the range.

The Colt is a nice looking model.

That Supermatic is a trip! Looks like something that Buck Rogers would have carried. laugh I bet it shoots great.

Thanks for sharing the cool-pics that's a good looking trio.

The HS guns deservedly have the reputation for outstanding accuracy, one LGS I visit always has at least half a dozen for sale. Hamden and E. Hartford CT were the sources for classic High Standards, the auto's are real common here, revolvers not so much.

Many years ago I owned a Sharpshooter, and much more recently a Victor. Anyone shooting a classic HS should be advised that it should only be shot with standard velocity ammo, high velocity is not a good idea.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Very nice looking group of pistols you have there. I really like that Hi Power but they have always been one of my favorite pistols.
