High Standard .22 ammo?
I have 3 High Standard pistols, HD Military, Sharpshooter
and a Supermatic Citation. Someone told me that shooting
high speed ammo is not good for these guns and should not
be used. I have a Colt Woodsman from 1928 and I know
not to use anything but standard 22s in it. Anybody know
if I can or I can't in my High Standards. THANKS...

I shoot nothing but CCI stingers in all my High Standard,s

there is a conversion main spring housing for the old Colt Woodsman that enables them to shoot HS ammo. It can be identified by the checkering. The original housings were uncheckered. 0 -
Hi-Standard target target pistols should only use standard target vel. ammo.

ATF is absolutely right. Continued use of hyper-velocity ammunition in the older High Standard pistols (particularly the HD-M and the other 1B takedown models) WILL cause the frame lugs supporting the stop lug to peen backwards. The result is a slide that will not go fully forward into battery.
The new High Standard pistols have very tight match chambers and are not guaranteed to feed/eject Stingers, etc.

The good Dr.has given you sage words of wisdom. I ruined a perfectly good High Standard in my younger years by shooting the HiV on a regular basis.
