Foss had been unknown before the championship and did not participate internationally afterwards. Equipment Jan Foss used a 9×19mm single-stack SIG P210 in minor power factor with an 8 round capacity, while Ray Chapman used a 7-round-capacity 1911 in major caliber .45 ACP. The Rhodesian teammates Dave Westerhout, Peter Maunder and Dave Arnold were handicapped in that they only had been able to bring two pistols to share, but the night before the championship the sight broke off one of the pistols, so all three had to share a single pistol throughout the championship.
