Armamex Pistol
Most on this site know about the "Made in Mexico" Ruger Standard Auto. This is a 1 of 100 Armamex High Standard Sport King pistol.
Re: Armamex Pistol
I knew that he made High Standards but this is the first one that I have ever seen.

Re: Armamex Pistol
Don do you have that one? It would be interesting to know where the 250 Armamex Ruger "Pistolas" went. I remember reading that there were 200 RST4's and 50 RST6's. Were the RST6's 6 or 6.5 inch barrels? I read 6.5 in John Dougan's book Ruger Pistols and Revolvers, The Vintage Years.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

Re: Armamex Pistol
I just happened to be going through some old RCA Journals and ran across an article on the Armamex Automatics by Don Findley and here he is again educating us on them. The article is in the 1988 Volume 12 No. 4, thanks again Don.

Re: Armamex Pistol
Those Ruger Armamex pistols are RST6s (6 inch barrels). Very rare. The High Standards are even rarer.
