Reserve your spot today at the 2024 National Pistol Matches, ready to take the firing line July 14-21 at the historic Camp Perry National Guard Training Site in Port Clinton, Ohio, and facilitated by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).

The National Pistol events, open to adults and juniors of all experience levels, include several traditional matches like the President’s Pistol (President’s 100), National Trophy Individual and National Trophy Team events alongside a series of 900 Aggregate matches for .22, .45 and Center Fire Pistol. CMP’s own Games competitions, like the Military & Police and 1911 As-Issued Matches, will also make appearances on the National Matches schedule.

Likewise, the fan-favorite GSSF GLOCK National Challenge will be returning to the schedule in 2024, while the Service Revolver EIC Match has been renamed the Philip Hemphill Memorial Service Revolver EIC Match in honor of Philip Hemphill – a celebrated national champion lost in late 2023.

New to the National Matches in 2024 is the Pistol Steel Challenge, fired on the Laser Shot simulators assembled within Camp Perry’s Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center. The Steel Challenge is a virtual match where competitors use a modified pistol (equipped with CO2 gas) to fire upon simulated targets. Read more

The new SPR86 is available in both pistol and SBR configurations; featuring a full-length printed Titanium reflex suppressor system and is SR25/AR10-pattern magazine compatible.
