rewards for participation & club support

Our original Silver Distinguished Pistol Challenge Coin was awarded to members reaching their 21st hour of shooting on the range.  Initially, under the old pay-as-you-go membership system, DP members who received their silver coin became known as "Permanents" or Perms, and achieved the $10 an hour rate.  Today, with our annual membership program, members can now become Silver Status when they complete their 20th range visit as a first annual member, tracked with our punch cards.  Our very collectible club coins are designed to be proudly carried or displayed, showing your level of participation in the DP membership club.  Each coin level is now earned annually as members regularly visit and practice mastering their shooting skills at the range.   Members can earn only one coin level per year.  

Congratulations to those who have earned their coins!!! 

Of military origin, the purpose of the challenge coin was first used for identification during war times, but today these coins have grown in popularity and purpose way beyond their original use.  Now, challenge coins are given as a recognition for special achievement or simply as collectibles, mostly within our Armed Forces and law enforcement agencies.  Within the military, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit.  They are also exchanged during ceremonial events and in recognition of senior leadership visits to an organization. 

Introducing our second annual coin ... the gold-tone DP Challenge Coin!  We started 2019 by adding another level of challenge!  All eligible Perms (members with a silver coin) will be eligible to earn the gold DP Challenge Coin after completing another 20 days in the following year of membership, tracked with our punch cards!  Members can earn only one coin level per year.

Our coins are produced by Coins for Anything, a Virginia-based company and America's largest 100% veteran-owned military challenge coin business!  We support our Veterans!  The quality and craftsmanship reflected in our challenge coins is absolutely superb!  Each coin is highly polished and edge-stamped with "Distinguished Pistol" and has the iconic 1911 .45 caliber pistol on the reverse side.  

Collect all of our coins and display them with pride!  

Let's do this!  Again!
