What's Included
- High Standard Mod. D-100 Type 1 .22 LR over/under derringer
The D-100’s over/under, two-shot layout uses an internal selector that alternates the firing pin between barrels with each double-action trigger pull. The hammerless, break-open action keeps the design streamlined and easy to carry while maintaining simple, reliable operation.
Type 1 identifiers include the eagle-logo rollmarks and Hamden address, white grip panels, and a grooved backstrap. These early features align with the example’s placement in High Standard’s shared pistol serial sequence that shipped in the early 1960s.
Sight configuration is clean and purpose-built: a fixed rear notch integral to the top rib with no separate front blade. This model retains a blued finish with a black frame and the distinctive white grips that mark early-production D-100s.
Compact dimensions emphasize carryability without sacrificing usability: approximately 3.5 in barrels, 5.125 in overall length, and a weight of 11 oz. The micro-size profile and classic .22 LR chambering make it a notable example of High Standard’s compact derringer design.
