Any idea when a Hi Standard Military model HD would have been made

[Happycamper]

I bought this at a garage sale 30 years ago. I took it shooting once but I think todays 22 ammo is not optimal for the magazine. Number is 310499

Has rear trigger like a 45. made thick with bull barrel

Excellent references provided by Oyeboten.
That serial number falls within the range of pistols shipped in 1949:

Thanks Gentlemen

An old gun feels good around thanksgiving time. You can remember the good old days with Dad. I remember 1 hippie came to our shooting spot to study nature 40 years ago. Now they made it a preserve, built a ranger station for it, Put Photoactive stop sign cameras up and signs dedicated to trails of people who were not around when we were plinking. Moral of the story: Chase them out before they chase you out.
