High Standard Hi-Standard Flite-King 6 3/4" Semi Automatic Pistol Our Assessment: As stated in Tom Dance's High Standard collector's guide, "The Flite King was basically a companion to the Sport King. The major difference was that the Flite King was chambered in .22 short. As it used the short cartridge this model was also fitted with an alloy slide. The frame was also alloy, the same as that of the Lightweight Sport-King." This a Nice vintage pistol with a unique look. The bore is in great shape and the mechanics are sound with a light and crisp trigger. This pistol is in beautiful condition and deserves to take its rightful place in a Hi-Standard collection. Please see our photos, good luck and happy bidding!
