The Military (Model 107) frame uses the 1911-style grip angle and a heel-type magazine release, offering familiar ergonomics with a secure mag catch for target range use. A push-button barrel release allows quick upper changes within the High Standard system.
The 5.5 in heavy bull barrel is configured for target precision, featuring a serrated top rib, recessed crown, lightening cuts, and factory tapping for under-barrel weights. Sighting is set up for fine adjustment with a Patridge front blade on a ramp and a fully adjustable rear sight with a large windage drum.
Construction is all-steel with a blued finish on the frame, receiver, and short-reciprocating upper, which carries rear diagonal cocking serrations. Checkered walnut grips complete the classic target configuration.
Chambered in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity, this blowback, semi-automatic fixed-barrel design reflects the hallmark features of 1970s Hamden production and the Supermatic Citation line’s focus on accuracy and shootability.
