Precision Pistol Competition (PPC), originally and still known asPolice Pistol Combat in North America, is ashooting sport focusing on precision shooting from a variety of positions (standing, kneeling, sitting andprone) at varying distances (3, 7, 15, 25 and 50meters oryards), including shooting from behind a barricade. The competition seeks to create a measure of similarity to real world situations, and is considered one of the forerunners ofpractical shooting.World Association PPC 1500 (WA1500) is the international governing body of PPC.
The competition format was founded in the U.S. between 1957 and 1958 and was intended to helppolice officers improve theirfirearms skills in the line of duty. Originally this was a revolver-specific competition because most police officers carried this type of sidearm, but was later expanded to include auto-loading pistols. Through the years the discipline has been known by various names such as “Police Pistol Combat”, “Practical Police Course”, “Practical Pistol Course” and “Practical Pistol Combat”, but “Precision Pistol Competition” is the official name used today by WA1500, the international sanctioning body. The sport has become popular in the United States, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Canada, and here in Australia, and official matches are no longer restricted to police officers or military personnel. The QPPC host the SSAA Law Enforcement Activities Division State and National match annually. A number of members from the QPPC have travelled to the United States and competed in the US National Police Pistol Shooting Championships in Albuquerque New Mexico.
