.22LR HV ammo in a Hi Standard model "B" pistol

Post by The Doc » Mon Mar 02, 2009 2:38 pm

Gentlemen,

Is it advisable to use high velocity .22LR ammo in a Hi Standard model 'B' pistol circa 1942 ? There are reports of the frame of Hi Standard Victor 107 developing a crack because of the HV ammo.

Now model 'B' being a much older model might not be safe with HV ammo or did they make it strong enough ?


best,

RP.

Anyone ?
It's always better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it !

Wouldnt advise it.
If you do want to shoot HV sell it and get a newer pistol.

You mean if a gun blows up or worse, it should be treated as one of those 'exceptional' cases.We should ,therefore carry on,ignoring that possibility :roll:
