The men's 25 metre rapid fire pistol was a shooting sports event held as part of the Shooting at the 1924 Summer Olympics programme. It was the sixth appearance of the event (25m in 1896 and 1906, 20m military pistol in 1900, and 30m military pistol in 1912 and 1920). The competition was held on 28 June 1924 at the shooting ranges at Versailles. 55 shooters from 17 nations competed.
A maximum of four competitors per nation were allowed. Three strings of six targets shot within ten seconds for a total of 18 targets. Afterwards for shoot-offs a string of six shots within eight seconds for six targets will keep being repeated until all ties are broken. The exact results of the shoot offs are unknown except order of elimination and the gold medal shoot-off.
