I have two of these pistols. Well, actually, I have one Hi-Standard Duramatic M101 dated to 1955, and a Sears JC Higgins Model 80 which appears to date by SN to 1956 (yet Sears apparently didn't start selling these till 1957).
Anyway, my question is about ammo. I haven't shot the Duramatic that I've had because I kept reading I should only shoot standard velocity 22lr through it - and I typically only keep high-velocity around. But today I picked up the JC Higgins Model 80, which included the original manual. And the manual specifically states: "Your Model 80 uses hi-speed or regular ammunition in .22 long rifle caliber."
So, thoughts on whether I would be risking excess wear or frame damage with high-velocity ammo?
Thanks
