The Series 104 slant-grip frame identifies this pistol as the pre-"Military" grip style valued by many target shooters for its angle and feel. The frame and barrel are rollmarked "MODEL 104" and "SUPERMATIC CITATION," with Hamden, Conn., U.S.A. markings consistent with 1967 production.
The 5.5 inch heavy bull barrel is configured for precision work, with a serrated top rib to cut glare. It incorporates an integrated weight system with front cutouts and three drilled and tapped holes on the underside for optional barrel weights.
Target sighting equipment includes a front sight with an insert and a fully adjustable micrometer rear sight, providing a clean, tunable sight picture for .22 LR competition or practice.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish. Ergonomics and handling are enhanced by walnut checkered grips with gold-colored medallions, a right-side thumb rest, and a serrated backstrap. Maintenance is simplified by push-button takedown for barrel and upper removal.
Chambered in .22 LR, this semi-automatic blowback pistol offers a 10+1 capacity and comes with one steel single-stack magazine as shown.
