HAL - I have never shot a High Standard but I hear more and more how nice of a pistol they are. About 2-3 months ago I had the opportunity to buy an older Trophy High Standard; I believe that's the correct model. Anyway, it was perfect and in the correct box - the guy was asking in the $700 range. Is that reasonable? If so, I can probably get my hands on it. I am in no way a competition shooter nor will I ever be, however, I do enjoy shooting different pistols. With the cost of ammo these days the .22 rimfire is really all a person needs as far as range shooting. Yes it's fun to shoot a 9mm or
.45 but if you don't reload yourself it can be cost prohibitive. With that said, I'm certainly not opposed to letting go of larger caliber pistol to fund the purchase of a something that is more economical to shoot. Not to mention a very nice piece. Thanks.
