High Standard Double Nine
I spotted this Double Nine for sale here in Oz and would be interested in your thoughts.
The seller has US$350 on it but says he's open to negotiation. It's been advertised since April 2022 so I'm thinking he'll come down. Serial number - M064XXX - indicates a 1976 build . . . I think.[

Re: High Standard Double Nine
I have an older one that was made in the early 60s, ive had it for 30 years & it still runs like a clock
really like the ease of loading & kicking out the emptys, it shoots very well but does not look to purdy
mine has a dove tail rear sight

Re: High Standard Double Nine
Neither can I . . . now, I don't know what's happened.
I can't resurrect the others for whatever reason but here's the one and only from the seller's ad:

Re: High Standard Double Nine
when I collected Hi Standard pistols I owned several Double Nines and they were great guns. Well made, and having 9 shots in a revolver was a great design. I still think they're one of the best .22 revolvers ever made. Only deficit is the rudimentary sights.

My Grandfather bought a Sentinel 9 shot in the 60s and it ended up with me, and now my daughter has it (and shoots it better than I can ) A great little trail/plinking shooter.

Re: High Standard Double Nine
Diamondback came out with an iteration this year:
https://diamondbackfirearms.com/sidekick/
MSRP is $320 USD, and I saw them on GunBroker for $289 USD. Looks like GB has the HS D9's going from ~$250 USD (poor shape) to $800 USD (minty).
I'll pick one up some day when I find the right deal. I just like the concept. Nice thing about not being in a hurry; I can wait for the right deal!

Re: High Standard Double Nine
My 92 year old grandmama has one as her only gun. I gave her some CCI velocitors for it back in the first ammo crunch of this century as it was the most powerful 22 ammo I had on hand. Hers is nickeled and kinda rough finish wise but mechanically sound. My dad had a nickel Sentinel that I shot a huge rat in our bathroom with rat shot. Even got charged! I wish I went with a revolver for my first rimfire handgun. They are much more versatile and less finicky than the autos.

Re: High Standard Double Nine
Now that your pictures are working yours is the upgraded version with adjustable rear sight, not the fixed sight early version that was just a notch in the top strap like I had. That should be a more accurate version, and be more fun to shoot.
