High Standard Sentinel .22 snub

We have had a HS Sentinel "Deluxe" in the family for years, it is everyones "Go To Fun Gun" the only issues we have ever had were bad typical Remington Rimfire ammo in it... otherwise it always fires and always hits it's target. Fantastic pistol.

I"ve had an old 4" barrel Sentinel since the mid 80s. Paid $80 for it back then.
I've got two regrets concerning them - I passed on a snubbie back in the 70s for $40 and about 5 years ago I found a guy who had several (as I remember, they were nickel) NIB that he was selling for $200 each. He had inherited them from his father who had an FFL. Wish I had bought 3 or 4 of them.
They are no K-22 but they are good guns at a price that won't break the bank. I use mine for my cottonmouth gun while fishing on the river.

I had deluxe 4" that was really nice. It was nice blued steel, frame, cylinder and barrel. Like a fool I sold it. A few years later I grabbed one on gunbroker. It was a later model (don't remember series number) and had an alloy frame. Not near as nice as the older gun. It shot good but I got rid of it. I will have another.

The Sentinel series revolvers are great little poppers for the money. The grips fill my hand perfectly, almost like they were custom made. They were indeed hard to
assemble/disassemble, the actions were held in place by pins and springs.

The alloy frames kept the weight down and made them comfortable for all day holster carry. The recessed cylinders were notched at the top to accommodate dry firing without damaging the hammer or cylinder.

They shot lights out with .22 short, long and long rifle. The 9 shot capacity was perfect for the little .22 round and I could pop them off almost as fast as the self loading Colts that many of my friends owned. Once your finger got used to the heavy D/A pull they were very accurate

I pounded on them guns when I was a kid and don't remember any major parts breaking on me. I still have a 103 and a snub length model in a safe at my oldest sons house. Most of the paint is missing on them but it sure doesnt hamper their accuracy.

You own a revolver that makes a fine first gun for a youngster ready to learn shooting. Thanks for bringing up those old memories!!!

I bought one last year as my granpa had one and I did not get to inherit it so I got this one. Great shooter and lots of fun.

I got a Sentinel Deluxe with a 6" barrel back in 1982 as my first handgun, the year I turned 21 and could buy one. As I recall, it was $59 retail at K Mart, back when they still sold guns. I've still got it, and it still shoots fine, after unknown thousands of rounds. It's my "go-to" plinker for camping trips.

I've had a couple over the years and they were fine little guns. Enjoy!
