I think it has to be at least a .32 but I may be wrong on that. Too my first class with a .45 ACP.

Actually I shot mine with a Single Six too - they encouraged (reply)

22s. I outshot pretty much all of them as well. Some showed up with NIB semi autos which proceeded to jam.

I have a friend who took the carry class with a Single (reply)

I like to be obstinate and took the class with a Single-Six. There was no quick reloads required so it was not much of a handicap. It was quite satisfying, and scary, to shoot my strings faster than some of the other students with race guns, all while having nice, tiny little groups in the middle of the target, and they mostly missed the entire target and backstop.

Six roughly 15 years ago and has never owned a good carry gun. Until recently the SS was the only handgun he owned. He recently bought a GP100 but still not my idea of a carry gun...

Not me of course, but I know of folks who carry... (reply)

who have NEVER had a permit.

Awful, that's what it is, awful.

I know of several with carry permits who have NEVER carried (reply)

Yep, try to blow the lint out of em at least once a month (reply)

and shoot out the carry ammo. I have found that a little too oily works best on almost every gun carried everyday.

Agreed. If you run a couple of magazines/cylinders through them once a month, they won't collect much lint.

I carry every day, all day, no exceptions (reply)

ME Too!! I too see lot`s of people who have CPL`s that find it (to hard to carry) a handgun most of the time. most don`t want to spend $ on a good holster, (and or) put in the time to train. they think that now that they have a CPL that they are safe? Sure glad I'm not like that. I know that evil can be anywhere.

Indeed, a non-functional firearm is of no use when stuff hits the fan. Yet how many don't do regular maintenance of their carry piece. Bits of lint, dust, etc can cause jams and other issues - right at the worst moment. I read a piece recently about the firearms used by perps, and how many of them did not function properly. It made me wonder how many people are carrying a pistol that will not function in case of need. Regularly stripping/cleaning/lubing a carry piece should be habitual, along with regularly firing off the carry load and replacing with fresh ammo.

It amazes me the number of people who carry & can't operate their handgun.

"I am always amazed at the number of people that have CCWs, yet rarely ever carry a sidearm. Somehow, they think that they will have time to strap a gun on if trouble is about to descend upon them...."
