ISSF Shooting, 10 m air pistol - individual men

The highest score in an ISSF 10 m air pistol event by a male shooter is 245.0 points, by Chaudhary Saurabh (India) at an ISSF World Cup competition in New Delhi, India, on 24 February 2019. He set his record score at his first senior event, aged just 16 years old.

Since November 2012, the International Sport Shooting Federation (ISSF) has established World Record (WR) scores for Olympic events “using Finals results only” – i.e., scores achieved in qualification no longer count towards the overall total. Finalists in the 10 m air pistol are allowed 24 shots with a maximum score of 10.9 per shot, offering competitors a maximum score of 261.6.
