The men's individual competition with revolver and pistol, distance 50 metres (later standardized by the IOC to the men's 50 metre pistol) was a shooting sports event held as part of the shooting at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme.

Charles Stewart of Great Britain took the bronze medal, the nation's first in the free pistol.

This was the fourth appearance of what would become standardised as the men's ISSF 50 meter pistol event.

Austria, Chile, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Russia each made their debut in the event.

Stewart shot more 10s than de Laval, winning the bronze medal on that tie-breaker.
