Match pistols are handguns built for competitive shooting, prioritizing accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency over compactness. Common calibers include .22 LR for precision sports and 9mm for action shooting disciplines such as IPSC and USPSA. Typical features include adjustable sights, extended barrels, crisp single-action triggers, and ergonomic grips designed to reduce fatigue over long sessions. Many models support compensators, red dot sights, and weighted frames to further flatten recoil and improve split times.
