Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard Supermatic S-101, chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 6¾-inch blued barrel, stands as an early and highly respected entry in High Standard’s prestigious line of target pistols, embodying the company’s postwar emphasis on precision machining, refined ergonomics, and competition-ready performance. Produced during the early 1950s, the S-101 showcases a finely balanced steel frame and barrel assembly coated in a deep, polished blued finish that highlights the pistol’s elegant contours and meticulous craftsmanship. The extended 6¾-inch barrel—one of the most desirable lengths in the Supermatic family—provides a generous sight radius that enhances accuracy, while its tight bore dimensions and excellent crown work contribute to the exceptional consistency that made these pistols favorites among bullseye shooters. Distinctive features such as the barrel weight slots, allowing shooters to tune recoil characteristics to their preference, and the push-button barrel release, enabling fast, tool-free barrel changes, demonstrate High Standard’s innovative approach to modularity decades before it became industry standard.

The trigger system on the S-101 is crisp and finely adjustable, allowing shooters to dial in break weight and overtravel for match-grade control; combined with the ergonomic, sharply checkered target grips, the pistol settles naturally into the hand for steady, controlled fire. The slide’s smooth cycling and the pistol’s reputation for digesting a wide variety of quality .22 LR ammunition make it both reliable on the line and a pleasure during extended sessions. Today, the S-101 Supermatic is prized by collectors and enthusiasts not only for its accuracy and historical significance but also for the unmistakable feel of mid-century American craftsmanship—an elegantly blued steel target pistol built for serious competition and still capable of delivering exceptional performance more than half a century later.
