They're good pistols. I used to have one a long time ago. Wish I still had it !! They had finicky magazines that either worked great or didn't work much at all.

Shrek, High Standard still commands a very devoted cult following among the 22 handgun crowd. I had one of their Sport King models and it was far and away more dependable and accurate than any other semiauto 22 that I have owned from several other famous makers. Based on the prices that the Model B and a number of other High Standard models will bring at gun shows or places like Cabela's I imagine it is of that same pedigree.
I wish the present High Standard company in Texas could begin remaking some of those famous 22 models.
Big Shrek- You got a steal ! I have a model "B" in pristine condition in the original box. My dad was a LEO and sold it to me for a 3rd party as a widow had it and wanted it gone. She had him sell it to a reliable buyer, me. I stepped in, id just turned 21.I am almost ashmed to say what I gave for it (50.00) but dad said she was happy with the deal. Every gun show ive been to for the last decade has had a couple and the minimum Ive seen on them is 425.00. There usually labeled best of show etc. I chuckel and know what mine is . I have shot it a few times cleaned oiled and put back carefully away. shoots great. You will not be disappointed with your investment as I would bet you could get well over what you gave for it, and they are great guns, good shooters . some didnt like the angle of the grip to the barrel but I thought it was just fine . I read some where that there are two diffrent versions of the "B" model a early model only had one lever on the left side above the grip panel and the later had two levers. mine has two. Any how I think youll be pleased with your find.

Actually, even more versions...I've found four varients so far...
First was the two-lever on left side versions...
Then Single lever on left side with lever on right side, 3 variations, two with rear-mount slide-stop buttons and one on top.
Then you get the B-US military versions and the HB's after the B run is ended.
I'm liking it so far, even the wife likes shooting it, which surprised me...she usually like BIGGER BOOM
