For your consideration is a High Standard Olympic.22 short caliber competition pistol. High Standards' first effort at making a pistol worthy of Olympic competition came in 1949 as part of their G series pistol line. The Model G-O (sometimes referred to as the first Olympic), chambered in the low recoiling .22 Short, had an aluminum alloy slide, which was the first significant use of the material in a pistol. It also came standard with target grips and could be purchased with a 4 1/2” or 6 3/4” barrels, or both if the shooter so desired. The most unique feature of the G-O was its curved magazine, which was hand fitted to each gun, and for this reason it was often marked with a matching serial number. The design of these pistols required substantial amounts of machine work to create their intricate parts. This led to the cost of production being high and requiring far too much effort to manufacture. After a short two-year period, the G series was abandoned. This pistol shows a bull 6 ¾” barrel marked on the left “High Standard Mfg. Corp. – New Haven, Conn. U.S.A.” The barrel also shows a fixed muzzle weight. The firearm is fit with brown plastic checkered grips in good condition, showing the original factory carving and checkering for target shooting. This pistol was one manufactured between 1951 and 1953. Serial Number: 358233. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
