I Think I Got Carried Away...

After buying my first High Standard Victor and shooting, I was instantly hooked. I wanted to add a Supermatic Trophy to my collection to. I ended out finding a 107 Series 5.5" Hamden gun with the original box in excellent condition. I was able to get the gun for $600 I was very happy with myself. Here are some photos of it. Will be picking it up this weekend.

So within the same day, I found another guy who had a pair of the longer 7.25" barrel Supermatic Trophies. One was a 106 and the other a 107, both Hamden guns. But these guns both had the two barrel weights and compensators as well as aftermarket target grips. I just couldn't resist the temptation, so I bought them both for $1000. It wasn't until a little later that I started freaking out a little because I had just bought three of the same guns in the same day and just committed to spend $1600. I'm hoping that I didn't just do something extremely stupid. Here are some pictures of the 106 and 107.

Wow, good taste and nice finds

The High Standard was the first handgun I was allowed to use as a child. Enjoy!

You bought fantastic guns for a great price. I mean - No, you're stupid. You need your money back - I'll buy 'em off you for what you paid... and I'll pay shipping...

Great guns! Did you get allot of mags with hem? Finding the correct mags could be a problem. Rimfire Central is a good source of info. Enjoy.

I got one original mag with all three guns. So add the one I already have for my Victor and I will have 4 original mags that will interchange between all 4 of my High Standards.
