Part of High Standard's H-series, the Model HB design saw use in U.S. WWII small-arms training; this post-war example reflects that lineage and New Haven, Connecticut manufacture. Its full-size format and steel construction make it a solid .22 LR semi-automatic with enduring collector interest.
The 4.5 in barrel adds rigidity, and the external muzzle threads are protected by a knurled thread protector that is installed. Chambering is .22 Long Rifle, pairing economical shooting with classic High Standard handling.
Operation is simple blowback with single-action ignition. Controls include an external hammer with a checkered spur, a manual thumb safety, and rear vertical slide serrations for positive manipulation.
Fixed sights are featured, with a square-notch rear sight integral to the slide. The pistol is blued steel throughout the frame and slide. Capacity is 10+1, and the included detachable steel magazine is compatible with High Standard H-series .22 LR pistols.
