and shooting in military matches and in the Olympics. He set a lot of world records that have yet to be broken. He used the High Standard Supermatic, this one..

When he found out Alzheimer's was coming on he came by my shop in Sarasota and handed me his High Standard Supermatic. It had hardly any finish on it. He told me the gun was mine if I would slick the old girl up and make her pretty again, so I did. He also gave his personal 44 Auto Mag that High Standard was the distributor for at the time.
At the time I had a S&W M-41, a Ruger MK 1, a Colt Woodsman and the High standard Supermatic. In that bunch the High Standard was by far the most accurate. Excuse the fuzzy photo. it is the only one I have of the 4 guns.
