25 m Pistol, formerly known as Sport Pistol, is one of the ISSF shooting events. It was devised as a women's event in the 1960s, based upon the rules of 25 m Center-Fire Pistol but shot with a .22 caliber handgun instead of the larger-caliber guns men used.
In 1984, female shooting competitions began in the Olympic Games, and so Sport Pistol made its way into the Olympic program. Internationally, it is still only shot by women and juniors, while men have Center-Fire Pistol instead. However, in many countries, there are also male classes in 25 m Pistol on the national level and lower.
As 25 m Pistol is Olympic, it involves shooting a final, which the Center-Fire event does not. The top 8 contestants reach the final, which consists of four additional rapid-fire stage series of 5 shots each. The final score is added to the qualification score.
