The Supermatic Trophy 107 Military pairs a full-size steel frame with High Standard’s Military grip angle to emulate the feel of a 1911, complemented by checkered walnut target stocks. The matte blued frame and blued slide/receiver present a cohesive, purpose-built finish.
Its 5.5 in bull barrel is optimized for stability and sight tracking, with an anti-glare rib on top. The underside is factory drilled and tapped for accessory weights, and small triangular lightening windows near the muzzle reduce forward mass. A front push-button enables the quick-change barrel system for fast, tool-less swaps.
Target sights include a Patridge front and a bridge-mounted, micrometer-adjustable rear for precise elevation and windage control. The wide, grooved, gold-tone trigger is user-adjustable, allowing fine-tuning to preference. A thumb safety is positioned for straightforward operation.
This pistol operates via a semi-automatic blowback, single-action system and feeds from a 10-round magazine (10+1 capacity). Factory rollmarks include “SUPERMATIC TROPHY,” “22 LONG RIFLE,” “HIGH STANDARD,” and the Hamden, Conn. address. The box label corresponds to catalog/model 9247 with the 5.5 in configuration and 10-shot capacity.
Made in the USA during the 1970s, this ML-prefix, late Hamden example aligns with the Model 107 Series’ target-driven design, combining robust steel construction with competition-oriented features in a collectible configuration.
