We took our class at the Gunshop in Lancaster. We were only required to qualify with one gun. I used my KP345, The wife used the instructors SP101.

We had to shoot 15, 12, 10, 7, and 3 yards. 6 shots at each distance for the Ruger KP, 5 each for the revolver. The time went from 30 seconds incrementally downward as the target came closer. B27 silhouette target, had to hit the center mass gray.

80% was passing. The wife hit right at 80. I dropped two at 15 yards nervous, and the rest were in the 9 and 10 ring.



It will be a lot easier at renewal due to lots of practice and the nervous factor gone.

Each certified instructor has to be approved by the Sheriff or Police Chief. Each uses their own qual. system. Some of the agencies never ask to see the outline/qual system of the instructor.

One particular company uses the BSIS qual. for the security guards/private eye/ armed transport types therefore using a State qualification system and applying it to the ccw format. The renewal qual is the same as the new ccw qual.
