Welcome to RFC from Northern IL.

 

That's a great gun to use. You don't need a holster for rimfire, just bag it between stages. All firing starts from the low ready, gun pointed down range at a cone 10 ft in front of you.

Find the ammo your gun likes and have at it. You can't go wrong with CCI MiniMags. Make it t6 magazines, just in case there is a problem on a run.

Remember to have fun, ask questions and be safe out there. Good luck.

Use only std velocity in the High Standard to help in preventing frame cracking. As others have said you need five magazines, make sure that the gun will function when loaded with ten rounds, some will not.

 

Thank you for the replies.

Is there a certain bag I need to carry the gun from station to station?

Can I shoot with iron sights or should I invest in a red dot?

 

Red dot vs iron sights = depends on what you like. As I have ripened (age 77) my vision is not what it once was, and I now mostly use red dots. I find that to be the case with many older shooters.

 

I'd like to put a red dot on my High Standard but don't want to drill into it. Where can I find red dot mounts where the gun does not need to be modified?

Thanks.

 

Old post, but look into LSP barrels for high standard pistols, Brownells carries them. Like many others, I was having difficulty with the irons and found these barrels predrilled for optic mounts. I've purchased a few over the years and have zero complaints.
And just as another poster mentioned, do not shoot mini mags in your HS, stick with cci sv, or some other standard velocity round.

 

Shoot irons, I don't seem to find a mount for your High Standard.

 

There is a Steel Challenge match the 2nd and 3rd Sundays at Ben Avery. 2nd Sunday is Deer Tribe, 3rd is Cactus Match League. Look them up on Practiscore so that you can register

 

Thanks for the replies. Where can I purchase a bag to carry my pistol to the line? Also, I only have two magazines. Does anyone know where I can find additional mags for my High Standard?

 

Look up pistol rug or soft case on Amazon or anywhere you'd like to shop for sporting goods including your local gun shop that's all you need and a backpack or other bag if you like. Shaped rugs help with keeping muzzle appropriate but a bag with a label or arrow on it works too!

 

Any case that holds your handgun will work, hard, soft, makes no difference*. You'll also need a chamber flag, but that can be as simple as a cable tie. After you shoot and show clear the RO will watch the flagging to make sure the handgun is safe before being bagged. Shooting rimfire as I do I find brightly colored cable ties to work great. They get into and out of the chamber easily and not all Chamber flags made for the job do so due to the short rimfire and small diameter chamber.

*My RFRO and RFPO are held slanted toward the ground in open "cases" built into each side of my range bag. Nothing fancy. Just a place to put them and then hands off. It's OK to handle mags and ammo between stages, but the gun cannot be removed unless at a safe table. I go so far as to not touch the firearm unless at a safe table or under the ROs commands. When at a safe table no ammo can be touched but firearms are OK.
