For shooters who appreciate classic lines, tactile controls, and a refined finish in a compact package, there are few semi-auto rimfires that blend form and function as cleanly. This review covers build details, range use, and practical considerations for ownership, with a focus on what sets this example apart from typical rimfire pistols.

HI-STANDARD VICTOR arrives as a used Semi Auto platform chambered in .22LR, offering collector appeal and practical range performance. This particular example includes one 10 round magazine, features a beautiful wood grip, and presents attractive gold accents that elevate its visual presence. Priced at $1399.99, it sits where styling and rarity factor into value for discerning buyers.

Design and Ergonomics

The HI-STANDARD VICTOR’s wood grip changes the feel of handling compared with polymer alternatives—solid, warm to the touch, and offering a tactile purchase that aids controlled follow-up shots. Gold accenting on controls and trim is cosmetic but signals attention to presentation, useful for collectors or shooters who prefer a refined appearance on the line.

Caliber and Range Use

.22LR remains one of the most versatile rimfire calibers: low recoil, inexpensive ammunition, and excellent for precision practice, target work, and introductory defensive drills. On a semi-auto like this, expect smooth cycling and an economical way to build fundamental skills that translate to larger calibers. The included 10 round magazine supports focused sessions without frequent reload disruption.

Maintenance and Practical Considerations

Used-condition guns should be inspected for wear to springs, the extractor, and the feed ramp. The HI-STANDARD VICTOR’s simple semi-auto mechanics make field stripping and routine maintenance straightforward. Preserve the wood grip and gold accents with gentle cleaning and minimal abrasive contact to maintain appearance.

Who Should Consider This Piece
