Hi Standard Question

[dhw9am]

I have just been given a Hi Standard Double Nine - 9 shot - nickel plated 22LR revolver.
It's condition is excellent, not a mark on it.
My question is, does anyone know which models were aluminum framed, and which were steel framed?
I have been told that the ones like I have, are the aluminum framed ones, and only the 22 conversion models were steel.
Thanks

You should be able to find your HighStandard on this website.
John has done a great job of keeping all the models and more info.

A magnet, how simple does it get. I am laughing so hard I can barely type this.
Thanks for the replies.

Look on the fridge, It's holding all the "Important" stuff.

I have the J.C. Higgins, which is made by High Standard.
Mine is the aluminum back strap. Blued barrel and receiver with a polished aluminum back strap. It only has the .22 LR cylinder.
I was in Maple city sports in LaPorte last week he had a nickle High Standard in there with the all steel frame with both cylinders.

Are we talking about the High Standards with traditional double action styling or the double actions with a cowboy single action look?

Oops, sorry. I didn't see the "double-nine" in the opening.

So, OP, What did you find out? Aluminum? Steal?
Did the magnet stick?

It is aluminum. The barrel and cylinder are steel of course, but the frame is aluminum. This is according to my refrigerator magnet.
I seems that what I was originally told by my local gun range guy, was accurate. Only the Hi Standard convertible models were steel framed.
