Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard HD-Military is one of the most recognizable American .22 pistols of the mid-20th century, carrying both civilian and military significance. Produced from 1945 to 1950, the HD-Military evolved from the earlier High Standard HD series, which began before World War II. Its most notable distinction was its adoption by the U.S. military during wartime training and specialized applications, including use by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which valued its accuracy, reliability, and suppressor compatibility. Built with High Standard’s proven fixed-barrel design, the HD-Military delivered excellent accuracy and smooth operation, making it a popular choice among target shooters and small-game hunters in the postwar years.

In terms of design features, the HD-Military incorporated a comfortable, angled grip frame, a 10-shot magazine, and well-regulated sights, providing the balance and precision necessary for both competitive and recreational shooting. Its suppressed variants—produced in small quantities—are particularly notable and remain highly sought after by collectors. The commercial HD-Military pistols also gained a lasting reputation for durability and fine machining, reflecting High Standard’s reputation as one of America’s premier rimfire handgun manufacturers of the era. Today, surviving examples are appreciated not only for their quality but also for their historical connection to both military use and the golden age of American rimfire pistol craftsmanship.
