Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard Model B .22 LR with a 4.5-inch blued barrel is one of the foundational pistols in High Standard’s celebrated lineage of American-made rimfires, representing the company’s early commitment to accuracy, robust construction, and refined handling. Produced beginning in the 1930s, the Model B introduced many of the ergonomic and mechanical qualities that would later define High Standard’s competition-dominating pistols, including a well-contoured grip angle, precise blowback action, and a reputation for exceptional reliability with a variety of .22 LR loads. Its 4.5" barrel strikes an ideal middle ground—short enough for lively balance and fast handling, yet long enough to offer a generous sight radius and excellent inherent accuracy, making it suitable for informal target work, small-game dispatch, or general recreational shooting. The blued finish on these early High Standards is typically rich and evenly polished, lending the pistol an understated elegance that contrasts nicely with the clean lines of the slide and frame. The Model B’s trigger is notably crisp, with a clean break that hints at the competition pedigree High Standard would later perfect in its Supermatic and Olympic series.

Its grip panels—usually checkered wood—are slim, secure, and comfortable, helping the pistol point naturally and remain steady in slow-fire sessions. Mechanically, the pistol uses a fixed-barrel blowback design, enhancing accuracy and simplifying the internal layout, while the slide-mounted safety and heel-style magazine release reflect the design conventions of the era. Collectors appreciate the Model B not only for its shootability but also for its historical significance as one of the guns that put High Standard on the map, and well-maintained examples often exhibit an old-world machining quality seldom replicated today. In hand, the Model B feels balanced, precise, and surprisingly modern for its time—an early rimfire that laid the groundwork for decades of top-tier American .22 pistols.
