I bought this in unfired condition. Not a lot of info out there other than the basic HS copy out of Texas, and only 1200 or less ever made in three barrel configs. A bull barrel, a vented rib, and the longer fluted which this is. I know mine was made in 1995, and gave some of the original paperwork attached. Do available HS mags work with these? I don't think these are a valuable gun even with few numbers, and I really am itching to shoot it. Is there a really good reason not to shoot it and keep it in unfired?

Why don't you call High Standard?  Looks like the basic pistol is in production:

Yeah it is based on the HS Victor. But it is not a High Standard product. It is/was made by Aimco,inc. and stamped Stoeger. I was hoping somehere had actual experience with this model.

Mind, that's an 11 year old post.

What are the odds of two different companies in Houston making High Standards @ different periods of time, and not having ANY relation to each other?

Very true. Thanks for that, it is worth a try.
