High Standard 12" Steel Competition Pistol



That cool 10" Hartford Arms in the post just below got me thinking (dangerous, that!) maybe I have a picture of my original 12" custom carbon fiber barreled High Standard.

This is the pistol I shot the first time I entered the Steel Challenge world championships eight or ten years ago.

I realized that the level of competition was going to be beyond anything I had ever seen before, and my goal was to shoot the match and just not be dead last in Rimfire Open Division. Although I didn't exactly set the world on fire with blazing speed, the long barrel and the fact that it was a High Standard, a marque seldom seem in speed steel shooting events, definitely got some attention.

....... and yes, I wasn't dead last! WOO HOO!

  1. Mike, I really like the carbon fiber sleeve on the barrel. That is a cool look!
