Early Post WWII Scarce Hi-Standard G380 Auto C. 1947-1950
Offered here for sale and just acquired from a very distinguished collection and manufactured just about 25 miles away in Connecticut is this SCARCE Hi-Standard G-380 .380 auto pistol.
The Model G380 holds the distinction of being the only centerfire pistol ever manufactured in-house by High Standard, with 7,400 made during a short production run from 1947-1950. The pistol was originally developed during WW2 for US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operatives. Full drawings were provided to the OSS on February 12, 1945, and a contract was granted to High Standard on April 23, 1945. Production was to begin on September 15, 1945, but the contract was terminated due to the end of the war. Since the tooling for what was then called the P380 had already been completed, High Standard decided to produce the pistol anyway, with an eye on what was to be a booming post-war commercial market. Now dubbed the G380, it was a magazine fed, semi-automatic pistol with a blued finish and checkered plastic grips.
This High Standard G380 .380 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol was appears to have seen very little if any use. It features a 5” barrel, 99% of its gleaming, original blued finish, crisp two-piece checkered black plastic grips. 6-round mag, and a bright bore with sharp rifling and no erosion. 100% blue. Just a small nick at the base of one grip otherwise near mint. This pistol is relatively heavy, and balances well in the hand – all of which alludes to enhanced accuracy. This should make for an outstanding target pistol, or a wonderful addition to a High Standard collection..
