Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
High Standard Firearms was a respected American manufacturer renowned for producing high-quality firearms, particularly target pistols. Founded in 1926 in New Haven, Connecticut, the company originally supplied parts to other gun makers in the Connecticut Valley before transitioning to firearm production in the early 1930s. High Standard operated in New Haven until 1945, then moved to Hamden, Connecticut, where it remained a fixture of the firearms industry until 1977. That year, operations shifted to East Hartford, where the company continued production until 1984, before later establishing its headquarters in Houston, Texas. High Standard gained widespread recognition for its precision .22 caliber target pistols, chambered in both .22 Short and .22 Long Rifle, which were designed with competitive shooters in mind. A hallmark of these pistols was their M1911A1-inspired grip angle and manual safety, making them familiar and appealing to service pistol competitors.

Produced from 1926 through 2018, High Standard pistols became a mainstay in NRA Bullseye competitions at the national level and earned a lasting reputation as some of the finest .22 target pistols of their era. Among the company’s most celebrated models are the High Standard Victor, Supermatic, Supermatic Citation, Supermatic Trophy, and Olympic. Today, these firearms remain highly sought after by shooters and collectors alike, standing as enduring examples of American craftsmanship.
