  25 m Center-Fire Pistol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
25 m Center-Fire Pistol is one of the ISSF shooting events, and is normally a men-only event.
25 m Pistol (formerly called Sport Pistol) is essentially the women's equivalent of this event, the only difference being the smaller rimfire caliber handguns used (often the same models only chambered for the smaller caliber).
Using a revolver is not a disadvantage because the "rapid-fire" stage is not as demanding or fast as the true rapid-fire event of 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol.

 Re: Fibre Optic sights in ISSF & CISM events
It is an abbreviation for "Olympic Rapid Fire", known officially as 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol.
Then we had to distinguish that from the UIT 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol event (which, to avoid a mouthful, was usually abbreviated to just "Rapid Fire").
To reduce confusion with the Conventional Pistol stage and with our (mis-named) UIT 10-second stage, and still avoid a long phrase, the term "Olympic Rapid Fire" came into use because it was the only rapid fire pistol event in the Olympics (that is, until Duello became the Rapid Fire Stage - adding another confusion).

 The Eli Whitney Museum, Eli Whitney: The Family
But with the rapid westward movement of the population into the nation's western empire in the 1830s, a mass market for firearms was developing, a market which could not be adequately supplied by gun-smiths, craftsmen who operated on a small scale.
More seriously, it became apparent that, should New Haven be struck with a major fire — such as that which struck Long Wharf in 1820, destroying 30 stores and warehouses, or the fire at Orange and Chapel Streets, which in 1837 destroyed twenty buildings - the city would be powerless to fight it.
Although serious-minded citizens had been concerned about the problem since the mid-1830s, it was not until 1849 that a group led by James Brewster, Henry Peck, E.G. Read, and H.H. Hotchkiss, succeeded in obtaining a corporate charter for the purpose of supplying the city with pure water.
