"High standard made the frames, Uberti made the rest of the parts."

I've read this same quote on the HS forums, but as a fairly dedicated High Standard collector as well as a BP shooter I have my own doubts as to the veracity of this.

More or less the production was likely done in the same way as Second Generation Colts, with parts sourced from Uberti and with finish work and markings done in the USA. I very much doubt that the actual frames were manufactured in the USA. This was not done at one of the high water points in the corporate life of High Standard. Production lasted two years.
