I have an old Sport King, from the original company. It's a laser with the right ammo, and I have to remind myself that this wasn't one of the top models. Just a fantastic shooter.When I was in college in the mid-1960s, I worked a summer job in a swimming pool filter factory in Hamden, CT. One of the guys who worked there also worked second shift at High Standard. My impression is that the Texas company calling itself High Standard has (had?) little to no actual relation to the original, Connecticut High Standard company, other than owning the name and rights to the .22 pistol design.
I know the Texas High Standard sold some 1911s, which were actually just re-branded Armscor pistols. And I know a person who was cheated somewhat significantly by the owner of the Texas High Standard. I won't miss them.
