Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Hi-Standard Supermatic in .22 LR with a 6 3/4-inch blued barrel is a classic example of mid-century American target pistol craftsmanship, prized for its refined accuracy, elegant lines, and advanced features that set a new standard for competition-grade rimfire handguns. Built on Hi-Standard’s well-balanced steel frame, the Supermatic was engineered to deliver superb precision, using a long, tapered target barrel that provides excellent sight radius and forward weight distribution—two characteristics that contribute significantly to the pistol’s famously stable hold and soft recoil impulse. The deep blued finish highlights the pistol’s clean machining and smooth contours. At the same time, the checkered wooden target grips offer a secure, comfortable interface for one-handed or two-handed bullseye shooting. One of the most celebrated features of the Supermatic line is its removable barrel system, which allows shooters to swap between barrel lengths or configurations without tools, making the platform highly adaptable to various styles of competition. Many variants also feature a frame-mounted muzzle brake or weight-mounting slots beneath the barrel, enabling further tuning of balance and recoil behavior.

The crisp, light single-action trigger—one of the key reasons for the Supermatic’s exceptional reputation—breaks with remarkable consistency, contributing to its ability to shoot tight groups even in the hands of less experienced marksmen. Widely used by competitive shooters throughout the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s, the Supermatic became a staple in bullseye matches and small-bore tournaments, forming a direct lineage to some of the most respected American target pistols ever produced. Today, the Supermatic remains highly collectible, particularly in well-preserved condition with its original blued finish, and continues to impress shooters with the accuracy, balance, and mechanical quality that made Hi-Standard a dominant name in rimfire competition.
