Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this amazing semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction, this is the High Standard Model 102 Supermatic Citation.
The High Standard Supermatic Citation 102 is already one of the most desirable target pistols of its era, but this particular example stands out even further as a 100% new-in-box, fully complete, untouched specimen, the kind that collectors rarely encounter. Retaining its original packaging, accessories, and even the original purchase receipt, it represents a true time-capsule example of High Standard’s peak craftsmanship. For enthusiasts and serious collectors, a Citation 102 in this condition is exceptionally hard to find and commands significant interest as both a historical artifact and an investment-grade piece.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard Supermatic Citation (Model 102) .22 LR with its 6¾-inch blued barrel is a quintessential vintage target pistol that combines elegance, precision, and thoughtful design—making it a standout in High Standard’s celebrated 102/103 series. Designed as a “one grade above Tournament” gun, the Citation sports a 10-round magazine, push-button takedown for easy disassembly, and a trigger upon which you can fine-tune pull weight and overtravel. The 6.75" tapered barrel provides an excellent sight radius, enhancing accuracy and stability, while the frame was milled with grooved front and back straps for better grip control. The finish is a rich, traditional blued steel that, combined with diamond-checkered plastic slant grips, gives the Citation a refined yet functional look. For performance, it offers a crisp, clean trigger break and excellent reliability with target .22 LR loads: the long barrel helps deliver consistent velocity, and many shooters report very tight groups in skilled hands. On the practical side, the Citation also has provisions to mount a detachable stabilizer or barrel weight, which can further tune its balance and recoil behavior. As a collectible, it’s notable that the U.S. government explicitly purchased certain serial-numbered Model 102 Citations for training purposes. Overall, this 6¾" Supermatic Citation is a beautifully made, historically significant target pistol—ideal for precision plinking, bullseye competition, or as a vintage addition to a collector’s High Standard lineup.
