You are psychic. I had an uncle that had a Hi-Standard, and my grandfather had a Colt Woodsman. When I was a lot younger, we'd go walking on the ranch, and they'd shoot rabbits with them.

That was my first real introduction to pistol marksmanship. Sadly, both of those fine gentlemen are gone, and so are their pistols.

But you bring back some fond memories. Thank you for that.

Out of curiousity, is that a slide lock on the Hi-Standard, to help lower the audible signature? It was a long time ago, but I am honestly not sure I remember my uncle's pistol looking like that. That was a long time ago, and I was just a boy. I could easily be wrong.

Thank you again for the photo, and the interesting props in it.
