When I located it after my brother's passing two years ago, it was missing a screw. So I can't shoot it until I find a replacement. When I do, it is going to the range with me!
My first handgun was a High Standard Sentinel Deluxe with snub barrel. Since it was the only handgun I had, it was what I shot for a pretty long time. As circumstances improved, so did my selection of handguns and that old HS got relegated to the back of my gun safe, but when I finally got it out a couple of weeks ago I was pleasantly surprised at how well it still performs. I guess it’s my personal “kit gun.”
