25 metre standard pistol

25 metre standard pistol
Men
Number of shots: 3x20
World Championships: Since 1970
Abbreviation: STP

25 metre standard pistol is one of the ISSF shooting events, introduced at the ISSF World Shooting Championships in 1970. It has its roots in the NRA conventional pistol competitions.

The standard pistol match is shot with a regular sport pistol (also called a standard pistol) in caliber .22 LR. As with all ISSF pistol disciplines, all firing must be done with one hand, unsupported.

The 60-shot match is divided into 5-shot strings with different timings:

Just like 25 metre center-fire pistol, standard pistol is a non-Olympic event and so gains little attention. It is one of the few events where targets did not change in 1989, so no resetting of records has been made. As a result, many records are rather old.
