Just acquired a high standard m107. Don't have to much info on the gun.it came to me from a friend who is not into guns. It was their dads gun, but just wanted to get it out of the house. Looking for more info on the gun?
cleaned it up last night and didn't notice any issues. The barrel is in great shape. Have no idea when the gun was last fired, should it go to a gunsmith?
In regards to being safe to shoot; If you feel it's not safe it would be prudent to bring it to a gunsmith. I would however go over the links above... There is step-by-step instructions in the manuals.
Good Luck!

I have shot Hi Standards like that one. They are top notch shooters, and demand a pretty penny when they come up for sale.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
I doesn't need to go to a gunsmith unless it doesn't function properly. I would say that it will work very well.

They are excellent target pistols; The military used them for their Smallbore Pistol teams for many, many years. The rear sight setup is a bonus.

Murphy was an optimist.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an
invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a
sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Buy shells by the brick and shoot it. By the time you get to the second brick you probably won't even consider selling it.
+dhic aka Cliff. Very very nice.
I wish the OP would return with an update on this pistol. I have a soft spot for the High Standards.

I have one of these and I use it for bullseye competition. Great pistols
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
