the new Sidekick. And you Misfits that are older than dirt will remember the old High Standard Double Nine, a 9" barrel with a 9 shot 22 LR cylinder. This new Sidekick is (as far as I can tell) an exact copy of the old Double Nine except for the shorter barrel. 9 shot cylinders and comes with a 22 Magnum cylinder and a 22 LR cylinder. It runs about the same price as the Ruger Wrangler, under $300.

they usually have about a 20#+ DA pull. I love them though. I have to confess I'm NO Wrangler fan. I've had cap-guns with better actions. Sorry Ruger, I'm delighted others love them so. I'll stick with the Single-six.


Old HS guns also had dovetail very good rear sights. Remember?! J.C. Higgins and other store brands also sold teh HS built guns. Sleepers on the used market.

years ago I bought a 9" Double Nine with a "gold plated"

cylinder. Probably some sort of special series although it didn't have any special logo on it. It was quite accurate for what it was. On it the trigger pull was about what I would expect. I sold it many years ago but I shot it a lot thru the 5 or 6 years I had it and don't remember the trigger pull being hard.
