Bruce Piatt Travels to World Pistol Championship in New Zealand
A major pistol championship takes place “down-under” this week in New Zealand. Ace American shooter Bruce Piatt has traveled to Hamilton, New Zealand to compete in the 2025 World Action Pistol Championship. Bruce is one of America’s top pistoleros, having won multiple World and National Championships. He started competing in the 1980s and Bruce has had a 30+ year law enforcement career.
Before flying across the Pacific to the Southern Hemisphere, Bruce conducted some range training: “A little barricade practice today for the upcoming Action Pistol World Championship in Hamilton New Zealand where I’ll be on the U.S. Team for the CMP – Civilian Marksmanship Program. I’d say my gear is dialed in!”
Bruce will be shooting a Caspian Arms 1911 pistol chambered for the .38 Super cartridge and fitted with a Burris Optics XTS-135 scope on top. The ammo he’ll use in New Zealand is loaded with Vihtavuori N320 powder and Sierra 115gr JHP bullets, in Starline Brass cases.
