I'm home for Christmas and had a chance to look at some of my dads guns.  He has this High Standard Supermatic Military but it wont reset the trigger.  I can pull the trigger forward and it will reset, but is a pain to do every time.  How do i fix it?

Could just be dirty and gummed up from decades of use (22 ammo is dirty stuff) and no thorough cleaning (my guess) or you could have a broken trigger return spring. Go here for a schematic of your specific pistol...

You might find parts at Gunparts Corp.

I would definitely try taking off the grips and doing a complete cleaning and relube with a quality CLP or similar before I tried any disassembly. Great little pistol!

Well after talking to my dad, he said his father got it back in the late 60's.  They shot a few mags and then it wouldn't reset, it's been in a case ever since.  My dad also has a Sport King talk about dirty, took forever to clean that thing today.

I took it appart today, super clean.  It just won't reset the trigger.... off to find the parts.


Thanks, Ben
