CMP approves Pistol rule changes for 2015!

Post by JU-87 »

Good news! You will be able to use a wide variety of pistols, and a new 22lr Distinguished program! :) 8) Link has tons of info and cool pics.


The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP)
is making groundbreaking changes in this program that will appear in the 2015 CMP Competition Rules and go into effect during the 2015 competition year. These changes are designed to protect CMP Pistol Program traditions while simultaneously modernizing it and providing a foundation for growth.

The CMP Pistol Program features what can be called “classical bulls-eye pistol shooting.” This is an especially challenging and difficult form of target competition that is now more than 110 years old. This traditional pistol discipline preserves the practice of shooting pistols like they were originally designed to be used. It emphasizes precision pistol marksmanship done in the standing position while holding the pistol with one extended arm. Difficult targets with graduated scoring rings place great emphasis on precision marksmanship skills. CMP pistol shooting is done with pistols that evolved from as-issued service pistols and retain non-optical sights. The 2015 rule changes represent a major CMP effort not just to preserve, but also to advance classical bulls-eye pistol shooting in the USA.
2015 CMP Pistol Rule Changes
After a lengthy study, many hours of discussion and careful consideration of input from nearly 200 shooters and match sponsors, the CMP Rules Committee and Board of Directors have now approved 2015 pistol rules changes that provide for 1) allowing pistols with additional, popular match conditioning modifications, 2) broadening CMP Service Pistol Rules to permit the use of a wider variety of service-type pistols, 3) the establishment of a detailed list of “approved service pistols,” 3) the limited expansion of permitted ammunition, 4) the creation of a new Distinguished .22 Rimfire Pistol Badge and EIC program, 5) the adoption of minimum credit scores for earning EIC points and 6) an increase in the number of EIC matches that competitors can shoot.

Nice moves by the CMP. I am not one for slow fire statue shooting, but bullseye is a great way to get more people burning gunpowder.

I just sent CMP a request to add the Tanfoglio (EAA Witness) to their list of approved service pistols.

Tanfoglios were carried by the MOSSAD...
