In Utah, your qualification for a three year renewal of your CCW is a payment of $15. That's $5 a year and no limit to the type or number of guns you can carry. My favorite is a old Sig P220 .45 that was carried for a police officers entire career. I bought it used and it shoots better than any semi auto I own. Others include a M&P .40, Glocks, and a Springfield M1911A1. Not to mention a S&W pre 10 2 1/2'er, a M60 S&W, and a few others. Big Larry
In Texas you have to use semi-auto for requalification if you want your permit to allow you to carry either semi or revo's. That lets out my 1917 as I want full priveledges. I have a Colt 1908...maybe??
We don't have tests of any kind here(WA) for CC, just a check for criminal record.
Now, what I went through to get a CC in N.J. was hell!

Quinn,
just got a Colt 1903 hammerless in partial trade for land surveying some property. That's definitely what I'm using to requalify in CO.

No Qualification Ever for Florida CCW, If you take a CCW Class prior you may or may not shoot depending on the class & where it's held,Not saying Qualification is a bad thing just We don't have to do it.
Iowa just went Shall Issue a few years ago. Before that it was up to each county's Sheriff whether or not to issue permits, totally at their discretion. Some were anti-gun, and nobody except LEOs got them. Others, like the ones in my county, both Democrats and Republicans, had no problem issuing them to anybody who qualified and passed the very easy written and shooting tests.
Under the new law, somebody getting a permit for the first time takes a class, either in-person or on-line, has a background check done on them, pays 50 bucks and gets a permit for 5 years. No shooting required. If you are re-qualifying, however, you DO have to shoot.
I really don't understand the reasoning for that, but I enjoyed the (very easy) re-qual.
Oh,and you can shoot anything you want. There's no restrictions.
I just used the Heavy Duty cause I thought it was cool.

Yea, I would CC my HD but the DA is no wear close to my HP 4".
Now the SA is 2.25 lbs on the HD!

Good for you on the HD!
I New Mexico you must qualify with both revolver and semi-auto in order to carry both.
So I qualify with a Brazillian in .45 ACP and an Auto-Ordnance M1911.

Ow! My head!!
I often carry one of my 4" Highway Patrolmen too. They're pretty darn cool themselves.
So is my 4" M57....and my 4" M624....and my 4" M29-2....and my 3" M29-3.
The Outdoorsman is just too long, and that darn Patridge sight won't work in my holster, or I'd carry it once in a while too.

You "Old Timers" are all alike, carrying "slicked up, smooth shooting" serious caliber old time revolvers as opposed to the very latest "drastic plastic high caps". I just don't know how you all have survived thru the years with such ancient hardware. Actually , I am proud to belong to the same fraternity, but will say, I have ,on occasion , carried one of those John Browning designed new fangled .45 Caliber Colt Army pistols. Still, a class act way to qualify and one many of us on the forum like. Much like Tom Selleck's line in "Quigley Down Under" , "I never said I didn't know to use one, I just never had much use for one" { I am applying that line to the new "drastic plastic models} All my very best, Joe.
Congratulations ! I picked up a 1931 .38-44 out of a pawn shop about 2 months ago, it no where as nice as yours, its about 85%. This ol' rascal really shoots too, I was trolly amazed at how accurate it is. I took it to a smith friend of mine and had him clean it up inside, re-lube it and check it out, good as new now. When I'm at our range, everyone wants to know what it is, then when I shoot it, they all want their chance at it also. Good luck!

I would not hesitate to qualify with a Heavy Duty. All of the ones that I own and shoot are very accurate. The latest pre war 4" I built is a real shooter and I'm waiting for some of Keith Brown's Ropers to put on it. It should be a good carry gun.

Since someone resurrected this thread I thought I'd report that I'm doing my LEOSA qualification for this year on Monday. This time I'm taking my "modern" Outdoorsman, a 4" L-frame chambered for the 38 Special. And I'm shooting real 38/44s in it, my hand loads consisting of 12g 2400 behind a 158g plated FP bullet at about 1150 fps. I'm looking forward to it! (smile)
