In Texas, taking the class with a revolver limits you to carrying a revolver, so if that's a concern, you'd have to take an autoloader. The state also specifies the smallest caliber you can test with .. I think it's .38 Spcl. However, you DON'T have to test with the gun you plan to carry, so you could in fact take the test with a borrowed gun and decide later what you want to use as a carry piece. I'm guessing it's different in other states, so know your state's laws before you sign up for the class. I tested -- and renewed -- with my Springer XD 9mm, but I never carry that gun, for a variety of reasons ...
