Illinois requires a requalification for ccw holders every 5 years. I shot the course today. There is also 3 hours of classroom required.
The course of fire is 10 shots at 5 yards, 10 shots at 7 yards, and 10 shots at 10 yards. I used my 625 model of 1989. I highly recommend the Rimz plastic clips with .45 acp ammo.
I was the only revolver shooter. One of the instructors is a retired leo with lots of training experience. I placed my revolver on the bench with the cylinder open and 4 loaded clips on the bench. Then I stepped back. The instructor looked at my revolver and smiled.
10 shots at 5 yards. Unload and step back. Instructor scored our targets. 10 shots at 7 yards. Unload and step back. Instructor scored targets. The instructor had a helper to watch the firing line. The helper also teaches a shoot no shoot course. The helper asked me (kidding) if I was a first time shooter. I told him yeah but I have watched a lot of YouTube videos and played Call of Duty. He said he didn't get to see shooting like this very often.
Final 10 shots at (gasp) 10 yards. Shoot 5 reload shoot 5 clear and step back. Instructor comes to my target and says " how am I supposed to score this?"
Some points. There was no time limit so I shot single action. (I had practiced double action just in case). I looked at my front sight. I was shooting a handload. Lyman 452460 sized .452 over 5.8 of 231 with CCI 300 primers. Finally the furthest we shot was 30 FEET. Not yards. A couple of times I finished last time wise. The rest of the line was mostly mag dumping.
I'm pleased with my target but I really think that MANY folks on this forum would do just as well. I mean I was trying hard and I have been practicing and dry firing but still we are talking about 30 feet.
So there it is. FWIW.
