I have a High Standard Double Nine 22 revolver that I love to shoot. It was made in 1965 and shoots great. It is double action but the double action trigger is so heavy that I don't shoot it at all. But single action trigger is great to shoot. It has one chipped grip that I would love to find an original to replace it but original parts are very hard to find.
Not the originals but these are pretty nice, mine wears a pair of immitation bone grips since my originals fell apart years ago.
I see parts for them now and then online. If i see some again Ill let you know.Originally Posted by HJB

― Theodore Roosevelt
My wife’s uncle won this Double Nine on a punch board game in the early ‘60s.
I have used it since his passing to start a few folks handgun shooting.
Hmmmm... Had to double check the safe!

That looks exactly like the one I have.
fatdog, yes and I actually bought a pair of those from NC Ordnance and had to send them back. I did not read close enough when I ordered that they do not fit the W-104 gun, and mine is a W-104.
Thanks

That old gun brings back a recollection (mid 70's) of a hunting buddy that used one of those chambered in .22 Magnum to pick a fight with a 250 lb wild hog. After the first shot, it turned into a run and then stand you ground affair that lasted quite a few minutes (involving at least some reloading) before he finally put a bullet where it would do some good. When he recounted the story to me, he said he wasn't sure he was going to get it done before his ammo ran out or the hog became really irritated with being shot repeatedly.
The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
My dad used to say he had one of those once but traded it to have a custom Mauser sporter built.
Said he always regretted it.
