Pistol rest/stand?

[Corporal]

I remember seeing a vintage picture a while back. It was of policemen shooting revolvers in an indoor range and I couldnt tell if they were using the rest for more careful aiming or to rest the pistol in between shots.
(The shooting was being done one handed)
The rest was wooden and in a sort of monopod style with a U shaped rest on top. The whole thing looked 4-5ft tall.
I sort of want to make one for my own use, maybe to aid in shooting but mainly I was wondering if anyone saw something similar or has pictures of one in use.

I'm just spit-ballin' here but couldn't you stick a bean bag on a cheap camera tripod?

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
