I have a few and they are among the most accurate,and under-rated, target pistols around. Show 'em if you got'em! This is a GE Deluxe from the 1940's complete with Roper (?) grips which came standard with this model.

I traded into this one, a HD military from a friend that also was my captain years ago. It is a "blood gun". Frank was a deputy for I think the county around Ft. collins colorado. This probley was in the 1960s. Someone killed someone at a filling station with it. Frank said they were nearby when they got the call and arrested the shooter almost immediately but couldnt find the gun. Finaly frank got the idea to check the roof of the station and found it. He said after the trial he got the judge to give him the gun! Things sure were different then! After we traded frank regretted it and brought it up a lot at work kiddinly trying to get me to trade back. Then one day I spotted another in the gun shop that looked new. I told frank go buy that one and I will trade you this one back for it. He was too cheap to do it. Later I found a old carved set of ivorys for it. They are beautiful and I think unique. A mountain lion on one side and a flying goose on the other. By the way, the gun I traded him for it would be worth quite a bit now. It was a very old savage 1899 in .303. About in 2002 the gun was stolen from me along with many others. I got it back! A long personnal story I wont go into here, but it was taken off a parol violater. I also got back a shotgun that the guy sawed the barrel and stock off of. The others havent showed up.

The good ol double nine. A nine shot, double action, lightweight with western styling. It has a horrible double action trigger but the single action is pretty decent. The main thing it is accurate and cheap shooting. It was the first handgun I ever bought and still have it.

I have a High Standard Victor with a weighted, vented barrel,wood grips and adjustable trigger. Bought it real late 70's/early 80's ??. I was told it was an Olimpic Grade with the longer barrel. It will drill the same hole all day long. Love it. Best shooting 22 handgun I ever owned.
 
I had an HS "Field King" back in the late 80's. I loved it, but a friend traded me out of it. I've always regretted that, so when another buddy inherited a Sears version of the Sport King, I tried to worked a deal which fell through. He gave it to me for a birthday present as he was happier with his Ruger MkII. I'm happy now.
 
A Double Nine was my first handgun I shot also. My dad bought it when he was in the Army. My brothers and I shot the heck out of that pistol growing up.
