CC Permit
« on: October 14, 2012, 10:28:38 PM »
I'm going to take a concealed carry handgun class first of november.  I bought a Ruger sr22 handgun for this.  I have small hands and cant get the fingers around a Clint Eastwood type gun.

Anybody else have one of these handguns?  I really like it so far... shot a box of rounds through it to get a little familiar with it.  I have a glock 40 but didnt want to take the class with it.  Also have a Ruger Mk 1 that has a long barrel, but shot another sr22 in oklahoma last year and really like it then.

Be sure to double check the requirements in your state.  If I recall correctly, here in Texas, the smallest caliber you can qualify with is the .32

Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

9mm is the smallest allowed for Texas.

I looked at several different kansas websites for this class.  All of them say any handgun, any caliber.  In fact at least two of them say if you need to use one of their guns, it is .22 caliber.

Here is one of the websites.    http://mrarmsco.com/ccw.htm

The SR22 is a fun plinking gun. You can outfit them nicely too.

I would not carry it for protection but it is better then nothing.

Wow, you have to qualify in Texas?

Small hands?  Try the Ruger LCP .380.  Got one for the wife.  Quite the pocket cannon.

Still wouldn't want to get hit in the head with one...

Not to say the 22 is not a deadly weapon.... I would just not carry one unless I wanted a backup.

There rae a lot of .380s and 40s oput there for small hands.

My wife went back to her SW9. She likes it alot.

In Texas you have to show you can load and handle your weapon of choice. You have to fire at a target at varying distances. It is basic in the extreme.

If you can find one, the Sig P225 or P239 are excellent conceal carry firearms.

I have the same issue (smaller hands) and can operate these with ease.......

I prefer the fit and feel of the P225, but my 239 is great. (239 is  available in 9mm, .357SIG or .40S&W )  The P225 is 9mm.

 

Just an FYI (i know i dont need to say this, as your taking the most important first step (and kudos to you  :aok) Training....Training....Train ing, and then when you think your trained....train some more, and keep training as long as you carry........to the point that its second nature and muscle memory takes over.

I've got other handguns at home of larger caliber's.  Apparently all that is required for Kansas is a .22 semi-automatic to qualify for all handgun types.   But, as I will be fingerprinted for this class, I assume whatever handgun I bring might be run through the pipeline too. So I bought a legal paperworked handgun for this class, and now I may lose it as my wife is taking a liking to it  :eek:

I did all my fingerprinting and paperwork prior to the CHL class.

No one checked out my XD on the range.

I'll tell you now.... if the gun you are planning on using is new then get about 200 rounds through it before the day of your class. The last time I was up for a class three folks from the same family had brand new out of the box guns that constantly jammed.

None of them had much experience with weapons and I considered them dangerous on the line.
