IPSC HANDGUN

A Legacy of Speed, Accuracy and Power

IPSC Handgun is the original and  discipline of practical shooting, where the principles of accuracy, power, and speed were first established. As the foundation of IPSC, Handgun combines dynamic courses of fire with precision marksmanship, testing competitors’ skills to the fullest.

​

Since the handgun ban in Great Britain in 1997 this has posed a lot of problems for UKPSA members who want to participate in IPSC pistol competitions. UKPSA nonetheless supports shooters wishing to shoot Handgun matches overseas.

​

Some members keep pistols stored for them in European countries and travel to matches in these countries. Also, where legal, UKPSA members have been able to borrow the equipment needed to participate in graded practical pistol competitions in Northern Ireland and abroad. This has enabled the UKPSA to still be represented at international matches, sponsoring teams at the European and World Championships.
