Dirty Harry Special with .44 special JHPs. I was younger then.
What gun and load did you use for your ccw test?
- Thread starter powerkicker

Colt Python, 4" barrel, firing .38 SPL 158 grain SWC (had the ammo on hand). Also a Springfield "Loaded" Champion in .45 ACP. Fired 100% with both (that's how they score for CWP qual here), but, then again, the course of fire was hardly challenging. It was amazing, though, to see how many people took the course that obviously had never fired a gun before, and had trouble even getting on the paper.

I wanted to qualify with the same ammo I would be carrying.

60LS with .38s. It wasn't scored. The instructor just wanted ensure the applicants had rudimentary safety training and he worked with the ones who needed it.

In Pennsylvania I didn't have to take any tests, either shooting or classroom stuff. They did not even contact my references.

Browning Hi-Power with 115 grain ball ammo.
I used my Walter P-1, such a fun gun to shoot. I just had some cheap 9mm rounds I bought from wally world, the P-1/P-38 isn't picky, it will shoot whatever you put in it...I wish I had it back
I'm sure many of you have the same sensation about a gun in your past.

Beretta 92FS with WWB. That gun, (mine at least), is a laserbeam. Accurate as H*LL and reliable. Never jams or malfunctions.
The trigger is sweet too, at least in SA mode.
What can I say, I dig Berettas.

Beretta .22 with whatever .22 reloads the range provided us.
From there, went to the Sigma SW9VE, then on to the smaller Kahr CW9.

What Test??? The State of Washington began granting a License to Carry a Concealed Weapon back in about 1935. Personally, I think this is the way it should be. I'll agree that there are "some" people out there in the Gun World that truly shouldn't be allowed to carry concealed or by any other method but I have yet to find the person who should have the chance to tell me I'm not qualified. I believe the Right is a God given one and Only "HE" should be the Judge who says I can't for whatever reason.
A few years back; seems we had one our veru Vocal 'Right to Carry' AHs get stopped by the Metal Detector inside the State Capital building entrance. I don't know if he was searched or not but in those days you could simply refuse to be searched and would escorted out of the building.
Well, seems he had called some of the 'Media' who showed up or were already there and then this "B*tt Head" stood up on the State Capital steps and said something "Stupid" like 'The Sign ONLY says "NO FIREARMS ALLOWED" in the Capital building. I have a License to Carry a Concealed Weapon and I don't understand why I'm not being allowed in???'
I have no firearms on me but I was refused entrance. Well, then he proceeds to pull out some sort of "Rambo type" fighting knife from under his coat and declares very loudly he should be allowed to keep his 10 or 12 inch bladed knife while inside. I understand he also had some local legislator present - again on purpose. Well, he got to take his "Sword" into the Capital Building but before the week was out our Law had been changed to read "License to Carry Concealed Pistol"!!!
Oh Boy did this AH do all of us a wonderful service that day. A few Years later he was caught with a batch of Machine Guns and 'Conversion Kits' in his Gun Shop(he had an 01 FFL). He spent time in Federal Prison. By 'some' he is still considered to be a great champion of the 2rd Amendment here in our State. He seems to have dropped a be further "off the radar" since his attempt to get his 'Gun Rights' restored has been "denied" over and over again by the Courts.

Before the class I asked the instructor about simi or revo. Didn't matter. How about caliber? Didn't matter there either. So I used my 617 ten shot. His rules - not mine.....
Bested everyone in the class - Duh
(that's not what I carry)

I've got that Texas restriction on me too - semi-auto if you want to shoot everything, and at least .32.
So it was a M&P 9mm with UMC whatever they sell in the box of 250 at Academy.
Had a heck of a time getting my wife to tolerate the trigger. She normally shoots the Registered Magnum.

We don't have a formal qual. The instructor just needs to see that the person can be reasonably proficient and safe. I used my .22 Walther PP.

I used a Sig P229 .40. Even though the instructor said it wouldn't be a good idea to have a nice tight group to send off for filing...I couldn't help it

People coming here from NJ & NY are totally flabbergasted. I had to have classroom instruction and a range test for VA and classroom for FL with a copy of my VA range certificate. My references here in PA were contacted but all I received from the Pike County sheriff was a form letter outlining common sense responsibilities.
