So what’s on your Christmas *fish* list this year? What would you sleep in a tent for? I would, however, * definitely * line up at 3:00AM somewhere for 50% off rimless UNS aquariums if that were a thing.

I prefer the HS, although the Model 41 is a fine gun.But who wants to spend it waiting in line for an overpriced TV at Walmart? Not I. The same Uncle who took us shooting as youngsters has a S&W Model 41, as well as the HS Supermatic, so I've had the chance to fire both to compare them. The new guns have cast frames, whereas I think the originals were machined from blocks of metal, and they make a different sound/tone when they are cycled. I've handled the newer guns made by the other Companies that have taken the HS name, but those guns do not feel the same, or sound the same. I'd still like to have an original Hamden Victor, but I'd also like to have one of the later 10X guns with the electroless nickel finish. Those guns use a different magazines because of the different grip angle.
My Uncle still owns the Supermatic Citation (with sport angle grip) that I shot as a youngster, and my brother bought a similar sport grip Citation Model. The magazines I bought from the hardware store also fit and function fine in the my Sport King. When I went back for the long barrel one (10") a few weeks later, it was gone. The magazine was also finished in electroless nickel. They are are the ones with black painted wooden military grips, a screw retaining the barrel, instead of takedown button, and the electroless nickel finish. Some of them didn't feed very well, but I adjusted the ones that didn't work well with a pair of pliers, and all work good now.Īround 1995 I found a small gun store that had a couple of brand new Late Production (just before HS Hamden went out of business) HS Sport King pistols that were on display for $150 each.
I bought a stack/pile (about 10-12) of extra OE blued magazines from a local hardware store that also sold some guns for about $4 a piece back around 1985. You will have better luck charging/loading the chamber, if you grasp the slide with your off-hand, and pull it backwards a fraction, then release it. I don't think the slide release was ever meant to be released to chamber a fresh/loaded magazine by depressing it. My Military Citation has always been very accurate, and even now after tens of thousands of rounds down the barrel, is exceptional. I really wanted a Victor, but I gave it up waiting for one. High Standard was in trouble for a long time, and even though they could easily sell every gun they made, and there was a waiting list everywhere that sold them, the company still managed to go under. Had to wait a couple of months until they got it for me. I bought my Hamden manufactured HS Military Citation 107 a few months after I turned 21 from B & B Sales in Hollywood, CA for $175.

After that it cycles perfectly while shooting.ĭoes anyone with a High Standard know how to fix this small issue? Also where can I find a couple more magazines and maybe the barrel weights for the Victor? On the Victor, after inserting the loaded magazine and hitting the slide release, it does not feed the first round unless I help push the slide a little. Might need to change to a slightly lighter recoil spring. Seems the CCI SV had several FTE on the M41. Now for function and reliability, both guns had some issues. Only problem is finding magazines for it and learning to release the slide on the right side of the gun and magazine release on the bottom of the handle. Its accuracy and ease of shooting better groups and not as ammo sensitive makes it a winner in my book. If I had to choose one over the other, it would be the Victor. I haven't practiced with either gun before. When it came to shooting freehand, I found it easier to shoot more accurately with the High Standard Victor even though the gun didn't feel as good in my hand. The Victor was ok with the Aguila SV but didn't like the others either. The M41 did not really like any of the other ammo. On the rest, I was able to get a group of around 3/4" with both guns using CCI SV with iron sights. In any case, I sighted both with CCI SV since that's the ammo I heard that both guns really liked. Didn't have a sand bag rest as that would probably be better. I had to sight in each gun and used a carpeted wooden rest to remove a little of my human error. This was done indoors at around 15 yards. Finally went to the range to try both guns side by side to compare how they shoot using CCI SV, Aguila SE SV, CCI Blazer and Federal Champion ammo. I recently purchased a S&W M41 and HS Victor.
