The '''10 metre air pistol''' is an Olympic shooting event governed by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). It is similar to 10 metre air rifle in that it is shot with 4.5 mm (or .177) caliber air guns at a distance of {{convert|10|m|yd|abbr=off}}, and that the match consists of a qualification round of 60 competition shots within 75 minutes. If an electronic scoring system (EST) is not available, 15 minutes are added to the time limit. Competitors are allowed to shoot an unlimited number of shots during the 15 minutes preparation and sighting time.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=ISSF Rulebook|year=2017|pages=436, Table 8.11}}</ref>{{efn| Not to be confused with the 15 minutes allowed when EST is not available.}} Along with the 50 meter pistol, it is considered a precision shooting event. Thus, numerous shooters compete in both events.

There are some restrictions on the pistol regarding its dimensions, weight and trigger pull weight.<ref>{{Cite book|title=ISSF Rulebook|year=2017|pages=437–438, Tables 8.12 and 8.13}}</ref> It must be operated by one hand only from a standing, unsupported position. The shooter decides their own tempo as long as the maximum time is not exceeded.

After the qualification round, the shooters with the top eight scores move on to a final round consisting of 24 competition shots. After the tenth shot, individual commands are given so that the audience may follow the progress of the standings.

The major competitions are the Olympic Games every four years and the ISSF World Shooting Championships every four years. In addition, the event is included in ISSF World Cups and in continental championships, as well as in many other international and national competitions. It is an indoor sport and, at the highest level, electronic targets are used instead of the traditional paper targets.

During the last few decades, these paper targets have been gradually replaced by electronic target systems, which immediately display the results on monitors. When using these systems, actual scoring lines are not printed, but the location of the impact hole (which can be determined acoustically) is automatically converted into corresponding scores by a computer.

== Equipment == To promote comfortable and accurate shooting from a standing position, match air pistols must have fast lock times, shoot with little recoil or vibration, and exhibit minimal movement and balance shifts during discharge. The pistol must also be able to be tailored by adjustable user interfaces and various accessories to an individual shooter's personal preferences. Combined with appropriate match pellets, the pistol must produce a consistent 10-ring performance so that a non maximal result during the initial phase can be attributed to the participant.

The pistols used are gas-driven with a caliber of {{convert|4.5|mm|in|abbr=on}}. The minimum trigger pull weight is {{convert|500|g|oz|abbr=off}}, half that of a sport pistol. The grip restrictions are similar to sport pistols, but the box in which an air pistol must fit is larger: {{convert|42|by|20|by|5|cm|in|abbr=on}}.<ref>Rule 8.16.0. {{citation |url = http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |title = Special Technical Rules for Pistol Shooting |publisher = International Shooting Sport Federation |date = January 16, 2006 |access-date = 2008-06-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080617170750/http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |archive-date = June 17, 2008}}</ref> This allows for longer sight lines and also gives room for cocking arms, although with a few exceptions (such as the Baikal IZH-46M) modern match air pistols use pre-filled air, or less commonly carbon dioxide, containers.<ref>{{citation |url = http://www.pilkguns.com/aphp/comphis.htm |archive-url = https://archive.today/20130131111835/http://www.pilkguns.com/aphp/comphis.htm |url-status = dead |archive-date = January 31, 2013 |last = Rowling |first = Patrick |title = Air Pistol Competition – A Brief History |publisher = The Air Pistol Home Page |access-date = 2008-06-19 }}</ref> The maximum overall weight is {{convert|1.5|kg|lb|2|abbr=on}}.

For the 10 metre air pistol and air rifle disciplines match, diabolo pellets are used. These pellets have wadcutter heads, meaning the front is (nearly) flat, which leave clean round holes in paper targets for easy scoring. Match pellets are offered in tins and more elaborate packages that avoid deformation and other damage that could impair their uniformity. Air gunners are encouraged to perform shooting group tests with their gun clamped in a machine rest to establish which particular match pellet type performs best for their particular air gun.<ref>[http://www.nealjguns.com/pdfcatalog/Tgtammo.pdf Air Gun Testing Target Pellets] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090327090810/http://www.nealjguns.com/pdfcatalog/Tgtammo.pdf |date=March 27, 2009 }}</ref> To facilitate maximum performance out of various air guns, the leading match pellet manufacturers produce pellets with graduated "head sizes", which means the pellets are offered with front diameters from 4.48 mm up to 4.51 mm.

As in other ISSF pistol events, clothing that restricts the movement of joints for support is not allowed.<ref>Rule 8.4.7. {{citation |url = http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |title = Special Technical Rules for Pistol Shooting |publisher = International Shooting Sport Federation |date = January 16, 2006 |access-date = 2008-06-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080617170750/http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |archive-date = June 17, 2008}}</ref> Optical aids such as iris diaphragms or prescription glasses are allowed as long as they are not mounted on the pistol, which may have open sights only.<ref>Rule 8.4.2.3. {{citation |url = http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |title = Special Technical Rules for Pistol Shooting |publisher = International Shooting Sport Federation |date = January 16, 2006 |access-date = 2008-06-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080617170750/http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |archive-date = June 17, 2008}}</ref> Though shooting glasses are extremely customizable, most pairs contain three basic elements: a lens, a mechanical iris, and a blinder.

It is each shooter's responsibility to get his or her pistol and shoes validated in a specific area (the equipment control) prior to starting the competition. To discourage shooters from lowering the trigger pull weight after passing equipment control, random controls are conducted after the match. Failure to pass such controls results in immediate disqualification.<ref>Rule 8.4.2.6.3. {{citation |url = http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |title = Special Technical Rules for Pistol Shooting |publisher = International Shooting Sport Federation |date = January 16, 2006 |access-date = 2008-06-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080617170750/http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/25_pistol_2005_2nd.html |archive-date = June 17, 2008}}</ref>

== Course of fire == Shooters are generally divided into four classes: men, junior men, women and junior women. The junior classes are included in most championships, with some notable exceptions (such as the Olympic Games and the ISSF World Cups). A shooter remains a junior up to and including the calendar year in which he or she becomes 21 years of age, although a junior may opt to participate in the main class instead.<ref>Rules 3.3.6 and 3.6.8.4.1. {{citation |url = http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/06_genreg_2005_2nd.html |title = ISSF General Regulations |publisher = International Shooting Sport Federation |date = November 30, 2005 |access-date = 2008-06-19 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080610044218/http://www.issf-shooting.org/rules/english/2006/06_genreg_2005_2nd.html |archive-date = June 10, 2008}}</ref> There are also ISSF Junior World Cups.

The higher number of inner tens is the first tiebreaker. If two or more shooters have the same number of inner tens, the shooter with the highest score in the last ten-shot series is placed higher.

During the final, the score zones are divided into tenths (by means of a special gauge, in the absence of automatic scoring devices), so that each hit can give up to 10.9 points instead of the maximum 10 during the qualification. Electronic targets are required by the ISSF for finals at the Olympic Games, ISSF World Cups and ISSF World Championships.

After a five-minute sighting shot period and the presentation of the athletes to the audience, the athletes have 250 seconds to shoot five shots after the command "for the first competition series, load, start". The same command is given again for a second five shot series. After the tenth shot, separate commands are given for each competition shot with a time limit of 50 seconds per shot. After each two shots, the athlete with the lowest score is eliminated until two shooters are left to compete for the first place in the 23rd and 24th shot.

Current rules were introduced in 2017 after the 2016 Summer Olympics.

As in many other ISSF events, the target for air pistol was reduced in size in 1989, also lowering the scores (although not by much), and thereby resetting all records.

Although competitions are no longer held outdoors, the most important competitions (Olympics, World Championships, World Cups) are still scheduled for the Northern Hemisphere summer season because they are combined with outdoor events such as 50m rifle and 25m pistol events. Many lesser international events, however, are held during the European indoor season between October and March, culminating in the European Championships each year. Most of these competitions are multi-day events held together with air rifle matches.<ref>{{citation |title = ESC Calendar |publisher = European Shooting Confederation |url = http://www.esc-shooting.org/info/calendar.htm |access-date = 2008-06-04 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080611132155/http://www.esc-shooting.org/info/calendar.htm |archive-date = 2008-06-11 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
