Description:
Sold Pending Funds - When was the last time you saw a 102 Supermatic in 10" with the full complement of barrel weights? Introduced as part of the 102 Series pistols, the Citation was a high grade target pistol destined to become one of the most important pistols in the Hi-Standard line. The rakish lines of the 102 Series guns along with some of the very unusual barrel profiles were unconventional in their day and remain so today. This pistol is particularly interesting because it comes with the RARE 10-inch "Space Gun" barrel in the 102 SERIES! This unusual, odd-looking barrel features a tapered round/thin profile with a large diameter muzzle atop which sat the front sight. This fat muzzle section acted as a vibration damper and also had slots which served as anchor points for a detachable muzzle brake. The length of the barrel was also grooved for the attachment of barrel weights, both of which are included. The rear sight was mounted on the rear of the barrel, above the chamber. Pistols shipped with the standard shorter barrels had the rear sight mounted in a dovetail on the slide. Since this pistol has no slide dovetail it is safe to assume it shipped with the long space gun barrel. The frame and slide have matching serial numbers. Overall condition has some wear and spots of oxidation. It wears the optional checkered wood grips and they are in excellent condition, free of chips or cracks. The mechanics appear to be in perfect working order and the bore is mirror bright with sharp rifling. It comes with one 10-shot magazine.  Please view the photos here for the purpose of evaluating the condition for yourself.  This item qualifies as a C&R.
