High Standard Firearms was an American-based company that manufactured firearms.  The company was founded in Connecticut in 1926 and fully relocated to Houston, Texas in 1993.  Originally, High Standard was a distributor to other firearms companies in and around the Connecticut area.  In the early 1930's, the company began making and selling .22 caliber pistols after purchasing the Hartford Arms and Equipment Company. High Standard Firearms ceased operations in 2018.
