 NIJ Compliance Testing for Autoloading Pistols July 16, 2021
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 StandardGet the StandardNIJ-Standard-0112.03, Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers, Revision A (pdf, 25 pages)*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*.Autoloading Pistol SchemeReview the SchemeNIJ CTP Product Conformity Assessment System Document 606.4: Autoloading Pistol Scheme Version 2.1 UpdateThis scheme describes the specific conformity assessment requirements of the NIJ CTP for autoloading pistols to be listed on the NIJ Compliant Products List (CPL).  #Perhaps link below.Autoloading pistols shall be tested in accordance with NIJ Standard 0112.03 (Revision A), Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers, by an NIJ-approved laboratory according to this scheme.Participate in the ProgramIf you are interested in submitting an autoloading pistol model for compliance testing, please contact the NIJ CTP.Phone: (919) 485-2717Email: [email protected]WebsiteCompliant Products List**Manufacturer****Model Designation****Caliber****Date of Compliance**Beretta USA CorporationM9A19 mm Luger10-19-2020Glock, Inc.Glock G17 Gen59 mm Luger9-6-2018Glock, Inc.Glock G19 Gen59 mm Luger9-6-2018Shadow Systems, LLCDR9209 mm Luger6-3-2021Shadow Systems, LLCMR9209 mm Luger6-3-2021Smith & WessonM&P 9 M2.0 4.25”9 mm Luger5-6-2019Smith & WessonM&P .40 M2.0 4.25”.40 S&W5-12-2019Smith & WessonM&P 9 M2.0 Compact 4.09 mm Luger5-12-2019Smith & WessonM&P 9 M2.0 Compact 3.69 mm Luger5-12-2019Smith & WessonM&P 45 M2.0 Compact 4.0” NTS.45 Auto5-16-2019Smith & WessonM&P 45 M2.0 Compact 4.5”.45 Auto5-16-2019Smith & WessonM&P 9 M2.0 Compact 5.0” TS9 mm Luger5-16-2019See also lists of compliant body armor.About NIJ StandardsNIJ develops and publishes voluntary equipment standards that specifically address the needs of law enforcement, corrections, and other criminal justice agencies to ensure that equipment is safe, reliable, and performs according to established minimum performance requirements.
