Finish and trim include a polished blue slide and receiver, a matte-finished frame, and checkered brown synthetic grip panels with gold Hi-Standard medallions. The ejection port is on the right side.
Field maintenance is straightforward thanks to the push-button takedown located forward of the trigger guard. The detachable single-stack magazine system provides a 10+1 capacity in .22 LR.
This example is marked with matching serial numbers on the slide and frame and carries the Hi-Standard catalog designation mfg part number 9201. It is a classic Hamden-made Sport King from the 1960s era.
