Hey guy's, I wanted to know if any of you had heard about this gun my friend has. Its a Hi Standard "convertible" revolver. It looks like a SA however it has a double action trigger system. The "ejector rod" is actually the crane latch for the cylinder which swings out like a typical DA. It's got fixed sights, a smooth trigger and a really long barrel. I'd guess it's at least 8 inches. The caliber is .22LR and capacity is 9 shots. My friend said his dad bought it about 35 years ago and didn't keep any information / spare parts with the gun. I'm guessing that the name "Convertible" means it's designed to switch cylinders to permit .22 mag. I offered $100 for it since it shot well, the blueing was approx 70% and the grips are in great shape (walnut with the HS Logo). I've found a little information about a gun called the "double nine" which seems like a similar gun sans the long barrel and name. I know that the missing .22 mag cylinder if it exists is likely to cost more than the gun, but I'd like to know if any of you know anyplace that sells them. Thanks.
