One of these taught me to shoot pistol. It cost $75; I saved for it during a summer job and shot it on a college pistol team and in the Army. I traded it in on a S&W 41 in the early 1960s. I still have the 41. Finally found a High Standard like mine at a local gun show. It's a keeper.
The Supermatic model before this is even scarcer: it's the same model gun but with no muzzle brake. There is a checkered sight rib on top of the barrel. It seems to be even higher in quality. I shot one for a while, someone else's that he let me shoot. I'd never seen another one until I saw one at a Dallas gun show a couple of years ago. He didnt' know what he had. I should have bought it, but I enlightened him, instead.
