1960s HIGH STANDARD “Double Nine” .22 LR|MAG DOUBLE ACTION Revolver C&R
With Both Cylinders!
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R High Standard “Double Nine” Double Action Revolver, made during its production run between 1959 and 1970 in Hamden, Connecticut. This gun is a 9-shot single/double-action revolver that shoots .22 rimfire cartridges all with aluminum frames. The “Double Nine” showed up in the late 1950s and its sales peaked during the Western Movie craze in the 60s and 70s. When this gun was introduced, High Standard was known at the time for its semi-automatic .22 that was used in competition. There was another revolver built more along the lines of a Smith & Wesson called the Sentinel and folks said the Sentinel was every bit as good as one of the more expensive revolvers from Smith & Wesson or Ruger. The Double Nine was a cowboy version of the Sentinel. It looked like a Colt Single Action Army, but the cylinder swung out for loading, and it was a double-action revolver rather than single action. Sort of the best of both worlds.
The High Standard company was founded by Swedish immigrant Carl Gustav Swebilius who got his start in the gun business by working for Marlin as a machinist and later a gun designer. He also spent a little time at Winchester before starting High Standard Manufacturing to make parts for other gunmakers. He borrowed some money from friends to buy the assets of the Hartford Firearms company. Between selling Hartford pistols and improving them, High Standard became a manufacturing company. It’s interesting the moniker attached to the company was always High Standard, yet the firearms were always branded as Hi Standard. Hi Standard semi-automatics were sought after for competition and the revolvers found their place in the market as reasonably priced .22s suitable for teaching kids to shoot, keeping varmints away from the chickens and vegetable garden on the farm and just general fun shooting.
The High Standard Mfg. Co. was officially founded in 1926 and in 1932 it moved to a bigger plant in Hamden, Conn., where production began. High Standard’s production over the years has been vast and has a reputation for both reliability and accuracy. Over time, it mainly produced handguns, including plinkers, target guns, long and short barrels, as well as serious competition pieces.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent in both double and single action modes. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grip is solid. Comes with both cylinders. The box is in fair condition with splits at the corners, and is numbered to a different gun. This versatile little revolver is the star of the show!
