the only test up here is to hit a silhouette target (anywhere in the black) at least six times out of ten, first from 7 yards, then from 15.

one or two needed help doing that much. chalk it up to a gunshop recommending a double action snub nose with a horrendous trigger pull to women who have never held a gun before in their life. as soon as they tried it with the instructors 1911, they could actually hit the target, not the ground in front of it.

check out packing.org for your states laws regarding the use of deadly force, its best to know it ahead of time and flag all the sections you have questions about so you can get it all hashed out with your instructor.
