    Military .22 Pistols

    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.
