Welcome. Unfortunately with Covid they had to reduce the class size. Normal is 100 students but they dropped that to around 60. So it’s taking longer than normal. Look me up when you get scheduled, I’ll be happy to give you some tips on what to expect. Make sure you train with revolver as well. You have to qualify with both revolver and semiautomatic pistol. Also you have to pass the range qualifying part with 90% or better with both.Thanks for the welcome yall. Wow, 6 months to a year. I guess I'll just be patient and keep training. Thanks.
Will do. Thank you.Welcome. Unfortunately with Covid they had to reduce the class size. Normal is 100 students but they dropped that to around 60. So it’s taking longer than normal.

I finally got the call. Scheduled for May. I'm nervous about the revolver qualification. I have a Taurus 66(357M) but it had a hiccup last month, so I don't fully trust it. I realized I couldn't use my daughter's 22LR revolver as a backup, so I bought a Taurus Tracker(357M) that I'm not liking so far.Welcome. Unfortunately with Covid they had to reduce the class size.

YESOr try to sell both and get a Ruger or smith.
Thanks. I'm feeling so much better. Even dry firing both revolver for the last couple weeksHowdy and welcome to TGT
Good luck on your upcoming test.
I'll definitely try single action. Been trying different grips on the guns to see what allows me the best grip and ability to reach the hammer. Settled on nice Hogue grips. That ATI scorpion thing was just too "futuristic" and cheap looking. Felt ok, but the look was too much for me.Good, you’ll head into class with more confidence in your shootin irons. Some advice. The DPS range targets are on a swivel so you will feel like you don’t have enough time to get rounds off before they turn but you will. After the first 10 - 20 rounds fired double action I realized I had time to cock my revolver after each shot and kept my accuracy up.
How did it go? Submitting my application this weekI finally got the call. Scheduled for May. I'm nervous about the revolver qualification.
