This page is dedicated to who we are now and where we came from. We are proud to be a historic club that has served our community for over 100 years here in Tucson, AZ. Our continued mission is to preserve the history and legacy of our club and maintain our facility for future generations.

Pima Pistol Club hosts matches from a variety of national organizations, promotes personal skills training, and supports a variety of disciplines and styles.

Pima Pistol Club is currently going through photos, documents, interviews, and artifacts to capture and preserve the story of the PPC. Our goal is to honor our past and carry the torch forward for future generations of members.

We will release detailed information as it becomes available, but here is some of what we know about who we are.

Pima Pistol Club originally shared range land in the Starr Pass Area with the Tucson Rifle Club, the University of Arizona Rifle Team, and the Bowman Broken Arrow Archery Club.

We were organized prior to 1916 and eventually incorporated in 1920. For more than 50 years, our range at Starr Pass was protected by Presidential Executive Order #2295.

The range was used in co-operation by all three clubs under a collective organization eventually named the Tucson Shooting Association. Together we served members of Law Enforcement, the Military, and people throughout our Tucson community.
