The men's ISSF 25 meter rapid fire pistol was one of the thirteen shooting events at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Afanasijs Kuzmins (for the first time competing for independent Latvia) and Ralf Schumann, who had battled for the gold medal four years earlier, once again clinched the top two spots, although in reversed order.

Kuzmins earned Latvia's first independent medal (the country had competed in 1936 before being occupied by the Soviet Union).

Schumann was the reigning (1990) world champion; Miroslav Ignatiuk of the Unified Team had finished second and Petri Eteläniemi of Finland third.

Albania made its debut in the event; twelve former Soviet republics competed together as the Unified Team.

The competition format used a three-round tournament for the only time, using a qualifying round, semifinal, and a final.

The 1992 competition introduced round targets rather than the silhouettes used from 1948 to 1988 as well as many pre-World War II versions of the event.
