1960 High standard Sentinal (R-101) 9 shot 22lr (my new beater) pics

[Slacker]

I've been looking for a 22lr revolver that I can take on the tractor & 4 wheeler and not worry about damaging it....think I might have found it.

I've got S&W 17's, single sixes, kit guns etc but they are all too nice!
I came across a 3" bbl, aluminum frame High standard R-101 for a very cheap price. Finish is worn, original grips, locks up very tight.
DA trigger acually isn't that bad. Heavy, but smooth all the way through.
I don't think I'm going to worry about scratching this one. After some research I've found that the HS revolvers are pretty dern cool.
I've heard that the counterbored cylinder and unique hammer/slot setup makes for very positive ignition on rimfire ammo. (see the "slots" on each cylinder in pic of cylinder face)
Dry fire is OK according to the repro manual I found on line.
One single screw in the whole gun, the cylinder has a very unique ratchet mechinism on the face. Rear sight is windage adjustable.
Looking forward to shooting it. 9 shots of 22lr is pretty cool when your used to a six shooter. It's no S&W but I think it'll suit the job well.

Nice gun. High Standards have always been kind of sought after around here. I agree it's nice to have the 3 extra rounds out of a wheel gun.:thumbsup:

Nice gun...and definitely a good kit gun.

I have two High Standard 9 shot revolvers. One is a short barrel that has two cylinders. One is for .22 short, long and LR. The other cylinder takes .22 magnums.

The other one is a long barrel that only takes the .22.

Neat little revolver, High Standard definitely knew their .22LR stuff back in the day. I have one of their Supermatics that is real accurate and reliable.

My first pistol was a used (but looked new) Sentinel my dad gave me for Christmas, 1958. It was a good little gun, but since I only used a handgun for target shooting, a couple of years later, I traded it in on a new double nine with a western style belt and holster. Then when I started on the police department in 1964, I traded the double nine in on the S&W Chief .38 spl. that I still have. Hi Standard made some good guns.

I also have a speed loader for .22lr. It is handy and was only ten bucks. I believe it is for an HKS, but it works pretty close for the High Standard. Never looked for one for the .22 magnum.

I have 2 speed loaders for each of my .38s but had never seen one for a .22.
