Apropos for Star Wars Day, a Model 102 Supermatic Trophy with a 10" barrel, this example dating to 1958. The then newly introduced Trophy was High Standard's premier target pistol, with golden accents, walnut grips, and a highly polished deep blue finish. Over the three years that this particular variation was manufactured, production totaled a mere 1,041.

Those were very nice in their day. I really like the slant grip frame. And the extra sight radius is helpful if your hold and follow through are disciplined.

If you read Gil Hebard’s Pistol Shooters Treasury, there is an extended shoot-off with various High Standards. The long barrel Trophy placed at, or near, the top for accuracy.
 
I also had a Space Gun when I was a kid, a Daisy Targeteer:

I also had the pictured target box with the spinning targets. Being made of plastic, the targets didn't last long against those potent .118 cal. BBs.
