Hi- I am in the research phase of the gun buying process. I read on this forum that the high standard 22s can't be beat. I think someone compared them to a Ferrari (one of which passed me today at over 100 mph). I was at the gun shop today and the guy had at least 4 HS pistols, ranging from 550-900. He said the HS are no longer made, true? I found a high standard website

These pistols look similar to what I saw at the shop.
He also showed me a couple of Ruger MKIII. I know the Ruger are well liked here too. Did not see a Buckmark, will keep an eye out for one.
Are the new HS 22 being made to the same exacting QC standards as the older ones? I want to get a gun that will have minimal issues as I'm trying to train someone new to guns and I don't want her to get frustrated. I don't mind spending the $ on a high end gun. I was also considering the S&W 41, which I have shot before and love.
My requirements are simple, reliability, safety, longevity and ability to put a holographic site on. Oh, I don't care for fiber optic sites. The shop owner showed me a nice ruger but it had fiber optic front sight.
Thanks for your advice.
