Victor Magazine Question

[357mag]

I have aquired a High Standard Victor from Hartford Conn. I am looking to purchase spare magazines for it. When I look at any of the sites that carry them they list the models they fit by letter designations such as HD, B and such. It is not a military model so I know those are not the mags I need but I am unsure as to which letter model I will need.

357, I just bought a High Standard Victor made at East Hartford this week. I too was looking for a spare magazine. I found two originals at a local gunshop. The gunshop owner told me any High Standard magazine would work from a Trophy, Victor, 106 , 107, or the later Military models. I guess these guns are somewhat fussy about feeding from the magazine properly. When you get one to work perfectly ( I'm talking one mis-feed in several hundred) mark it some way and don't drop it. I was also told to stay away from after cheap market varieties if you don't find an original. Brownells have some good replacements for around $30. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I've owned my Victor since the late 70's, and tried all the aftermarket mags I could get my hands on.  NONE OF THEM FEED!!!!!  Stick with original mags and you should have no problems.  I currently have 10 mags for mine and I get an occasional failure to feed but it is usually traced back to the ammo I'm trying to feed it.  Great gun and very accurate.

.357 mag, I've got of mags for your pistol if your interested. Drop me a line at bigben@fcg.net. One of them has a mint green follower and the other has a darker green follower.
