NIJ administers the NIJ Compliance Testing Program (NIJ CTP) to determine a specific pistol model’s compliance with NIJ Standard 0112.03, Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers, Revision A. The NIJ CTP helps ensure the pistols purchased and used by law enforcement agencies will perform as expected.
About the Standard
NIJ Standard 0112.03, Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers, Revision A, specifies the minimum performance requirements and test methods for autoloading service pistols used by U.S. law enforcement. Its primary purpose is for use by the NIJ CTP for testing and evaluation of autoloading pistols for certification by NIJ. It will be used by both ballistics laboratories that test firearms and firearms manufacturers participating in the NIJ CTP. NIJ has also proposed a major revision of this standard, anticipated to be published in 2022 as NIJ Standard 0112.04, Semiautomatic Pistols for Law Enforcement.
