In the Olympic discipline "25 m pistol", a precision round is followed by a duel round, in which five shots are fired six times in five minutes each. Six series of five shots are also required here - however, each shot must be fired within a time window of three seconds. No shots may then be fired for seven seconds. Missed shots count as misses and are scored as "zero" - a shot is counted as a hit if at least a 10.2 is achieved.

In the "25 m rapid fire pistol" discipline, which is also an Olympic discipline, two rounds of 30 shots each are carried out. Each round consists of six series - two series each in eight, six and four seconds for five shots. A shot is counted as a hit if it is at least a 9.7.
