SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This draft document is a proposed revision 
of NIJ Standard 0112.03 (Revision A), Autoloading Pistols for Police 
Officers, published in 1999 and found here: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/249929.pdf. The final version of this document is 
anticipated to be published in late 2019 as NIJ Standard 0112.04, 
Semiautomatic Pistols for Law Enforcement. Its primary purpose will be 
for use by the NIJ Compliance Testing Program (CTP) for testing and 
evaluation of semiautomatic pistols submitted to the program for 
certification by NIJ. It will be used by both ballistics laboratories 
that test firearms and firearms manufacturers participating in the NIJ 
CTP. This standard will be included in the scope of accreditation used 
by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to 
accredit ballistics laboratories. For more information on NIJ's 
voluntary standards, please visit https://www.nij.gov/standards. More 
information on the Autoloading Pistols CTP is available at https://justnet.org/compliant/Autoloading-Pistols.html.
