Overview
The Benelli MP90S World Cup is a semi-automatic target pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed by Benelli Armi of Italy for ISSF 25 metre pistol and 25 metre rapid fire pistol competition. It uses a fixed-barrel inertial blowback action and features fully adjustable sights, an adjustable trigger, and an anatomically shaped wraparound grip. The chrome-nickel steel barrel and chrome-molybdenum breech and bolt give the pistol the balance and consistency demanded by Olympic-level rapid-fire shooters.

Background
The MP90S became a mainstay of ISSF and Olympic rapid-fire pistol ranges through the 1990s and 2000s, prized for its low-recoil inertial action and adjustable ergonomics that let shooters return the sights to target quickly during the demanding rapid-fire strings.
