*VERY RARE* HI-STANDARD G380, 380 ACP - MINTY Listing ID: 3120038

The Model G380 holds the distinction of being the only centerfire pistol ever manufactured in-house by High Standard, with 7,400 produced during a short production run from 1947-1950. The pistol was originally developed during WW2 for US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operatives. Full drawings were provided to the OSS on February 12, 1945, and a contract was granted to High Standard on April 23, 1945. Production was to begin on September 15, 1945, but the contract was terminated prior to delivery due to the end of the war. Since the tooling for what was then called the P380 had already been completed, High Standard decided to produce the pistol anyway, with an eye on the post-war commercial market, now stamped as the G380.

This High Standard G380 .380 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol was made in 1948 (per serial number) and is in Excellent Condition. It features a 5” barrel, 99% of its gleaming, original blued finish, crisp checkered black plastic grips, a beautiful original “two tone” partially blued 6-round mag, and a bright bore with sharp rifling and no erosion.
