I'm thinking about redirecting my collecting and have recently become more interested in military .22 pistols. I would like to compile a listing of .22 pistols that had some official or quasi-official military use. Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Department of the Army Technical Manual, TM 9-1005-206-14P/3, dated March 1963, lists the following.
Colt Woodsman Match Target w/6" bbl.
Colt Woodsman Target Model S w6" bbl.
High Standard Supermatic Citation w/5 1/2" bbl.
High Standard Supermatic Tournament w 6 3/4" bbl.
Smith and Wesson Model 41 w 7 3/8" bbl
Smith and Wesson Model 46 w 7" bbl.
Department of the Army Technical Manual TM9-1005-226-14, dated July 1959 lists the following.
High Standard Supermatic. Picture shows pistol with magnaport and weight under barrel.
High Standard Supermatic,
Ruger Mark I Automatic pistol (target model) 6 7/8" bbl.
I know the army had some model of the High Standard that had a removable muzzle brake as I was issued one as a pistol team member. I don't recall the exact model name.
These are documented. There are probably many others.
Thanks!
From other sources I have a few of the "quasi" variety:
Walther PP
Beretta 70/71
Colt Challenger
Manurhin PP
Manurhin PPK
Walther Olympia Jagerpistole
