For sale is a Hi-Standard U.S.A. Model H-D semi-automatic pistol in .22 LR. Serial number- 110380. This pistol comes with the original box and a magazine. The H-D models are an affordable gun and popular with collectors at all levels! The "US" property marks it means it is a military surplus piece! In 1942, the War Department came calling and ordered 34,000 Model H-Ds for the Army to use for basic pistol training. The large frame H-D had much the same feel, operation, and sights of the Colt 1911 and it was thought that these simple guns could be used to introduce new shooters to the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship before moving on to the stout .45 ACP Colt. Ease of use aside, the price tag was also a huge selling point; the 22 LR was cheaper by far to shoot and allowed valuable war ammunition to be sent to the front rather than stockpiled at training depots.
