Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard Supermatic Citation 102 represents one of the most refined early milestones in High Standard’s long line of prestigious target pistols, combining elegant craftsmanship, competition-oriented engineering, and the sleek pre-“Military grip” ergonomics that many collectors and shooters still consider among the company’s best. Produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the 102 series marked an evolution from the earlier G-series designs, introducing improved lockwork, enhanced reliability, and a more modern target profile that set the stage for the later 100-series guns. The Citation model stood near the top of the lineup, featuring a high-polish blued finish, carefully fitted components, and a distinctive under-barrel weight system that allowed shooters to fine-tune balance and recoil characteristics for precision slow-fire and sustained-fire stages. Its grip frame—often referred to as the “slant grip”—offered a natural, slightly raked angle reminiscent of European match pistols, giving the firearm a lively, responsive feel in the hand and excellent pointability. The 102 Citation typically came with a 6 3/4-inch target barrel with a full rib, providing a long sight radius and reduced muzzle movement, while the crisp, adjustable target trigger delivered the clean break and minimal overtravel competitive shooters demanded. Fully adjustable micrometer rear sights and a sharp, high-visibility front blade further contributed to the pistol’s reputation for bullseye accuracy. Collectors value the 102 Citation not only for its performance but also for the exceptional fit and finish characteristic of early High Standard production—finely machined steel, tight tolerances, and a level of hand-work rarely seen in later decades. Today, the Supermatic Citation 102 stands as a classic American target pistol: beautifully balanced, historically significant, and capable of match-grade accuracy that continues to impress on the firing line more than half a century after its construction.
