50 Black Powder Pistol

50 Metre Black Powder Match Match

In the 50 Metre Match Cap and ball revolvers or single shot pistols may be used.

The Calibre.

The calibre is restricted to 0.46 maximum and projectiles must be round balls or
conical pointed bullets.

The Match.

The Match consists of four series of 10 shots, fired in 2 hours on an NRA 50 yard target which has a larger Ten-Ring than the standard 50 metre target.
Some interesting hybrid single shots have been put together by black powder enthusiasts out of single shot cartridge handguns like the Thompson Contender.
Replica percussion pistols are accurate representations of the original pistols.
