Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1955, High Standard introduced its Sentinel revolver line at the request of Sears Roebuck, a major customer that owned a considerable amount of High Standard stock. Sears wanted a low-cost revolver to sell under their J.C. Higgins brand, which could be used as a "tackle box" gun. Sears later sold it under the J.C. Higgins Model 88 name. The J.C. Higgins guns had unique cylinder flutes, distinctive grips, and cylinder release pins. Private-label versions of the Sentinel were subsequently made for Western Auto (the Revelation Model 99) and Armamex (Colonel Rex Applegate's company in Mexico). The Sentinel was a 9-shot .22 revolver with an anodized aluminum frame, a high-tensile carbon-steel barrel and cylinder, a single-stroke multiple-ejection system, a swing-out, counterbored cylinder, a movable, square-notched rear sight, a non-slip, scored trigger, a diamond-checkered grip (made of plastic), and was highly innovative. The innovative design was completed by Harry Sefried, High Standard's young design engineer, in only a few months. Sefried was not afraid to incorporate good ideas wherever he found them.

The squared-off grip on the first model was modified from the Colt New Model .36 Pocket Pistol of 1862, and one shooter was said to remark that it was "the first decent grip on a revolver since the Civil War." It remains one of the most comfortable revolver grips to this day. The simplified cylinder lock design was taken from Hugo Borchardt's experimental revolver of 1876, which he designed while working for Winchester and which Sefried observed during his own five years at Winchester. The gun, like the Broomhandle Mauser, is screwless except for the grip screw.
