The standard course of fire is the Combat 600 Match, which is a 60-round, timed event with a maximum score of 600-60x.  Six rounds are loaded and fired per string.  You must draw from a holster, use both your strong and weak hand during firing, and execute a mandatory reload between strings of fire.  All loading must be done from the shooter’s person (e.g., magazine/speed loader holder, pocket, pouch, etc.).  Revolvers must be fired double-action only.  Any safe factory or hand-loaded pistol ammunition is allowed.  Targets used are black NRA Police Pistol Silhouette - B-27E and repair centers.  Shooters score and repair targets downrange.

 

We also have a timed, 50 round Off Duty course of fire with a maximum score of 500-50x.  The course of fire is very similar to the Combat 600, but only five rounds are loaded and shot on each string, and you start from a low ready position instead of drawing from a holster.  See Off Duty Course of Fire for more details. This course of fire is shot concurrently with the Combat 600 Match on the same relay.

Safety on the range is paramount.  Matches will be supervised by the Range Safety Officer (RSO) calling the line.  Shooters must follow all NRA safe gun handling rules, all specific PPC range rules, and all range commands given by the RSO.  Ear and eye protection are mandatory.   A safety briefing will be provided prior to the start of the matches.  Safe and proper use of your firearm is your personal responsibility. Make it your top priority.  Safety violations could result in disqualification.
 

We run a “cold” range.  This means that all guns must be holstered or bagged, and kept unloaded with the magazine removed and hammer down on an empty chamber.  No guns may be touched or handled unless (1) you are under the direct supervision of an RSO on the firing line, or (2) you are at the designated SAFE AREA.  No loaded guns are allowed at the SAFE AREA, and no ammo may be handled at the SAFE AREA.

​

There are five separate Gun Classes you may choose to shoot in:

• Stock Service Semi Auto Pistol (centerfire, iron sights only).

• Stock Service Revolver (centerfire, iron sights only).

• Stock .22 Rimfire Semi Auto Pistol or Revolver (iron sights only).

• Stock Off Duty Semi Auto Pistol or Revolver (centerfire, iron sights only).

• Open Gun (Optics allowed. Includes Centerfire and .22 Rimfire Semi Autos and Revolvers, all modifications allowed, also includes iron sight guns built for NRA PPC Open Class). For any other external modifications or other questions, final Gun Class determination will be made by the Match Director.

​

Note: The distinction between “Stock” and “Open” Class usually boils down to whether the gun has iron sights versus some type of optical sights (e.g., red dot, reflex, holographic). However, custom guns built for NRA PPC Open Class (heavy barrels, sight ribs, etc.) fall into our Open Class as well, even though they have iron sights. In the case of other external modifications or other questions, the final Gun Class determination will be made by the Match Director.

 

Lasers and flashlights do not need to be taken off gun, but NEITHER can be used during any match regardless of gun category.
