The men's 50 metre pistol shooting event at the 2011 Pan American Games was held on October 18 at the Jalisco Hunting Club in Guadalajara.^[1] The defending Pan American Games champion was Jason Turner of the United States.

The event consisted of two rounds: a qualifier and a final. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 60 shots with a pistol at 50 metres distance. Scores for each shot were in increments of 1, with a maximum score of 10.

The top 8 shooters in the qualifying round moved on to the final round. There, they fired an additional 10 shots. These shots scored in increments of .1, with a maximum score of 10.9. The total score from all 70 shots was used to determine final ranking.

Sergio Sanchez of Guatemala won the competition, which qualified his country a quota spot for the men's 50 metre pistol event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Great Britain.
