Don't own any firearms now.  Used to go shooting with my Father all the way up till a few years ago till he got rid of most of his guns.  My Father-in-law is a big collector but he lives in Florida now. When my wife was a kid he used to take her shooting every once and a while.  The bug is there, so eventually we will purchase our own firearms.

Woody, I believe that is a P7M8 or a P7M13, depending on magazine capacity. VERY nice guns. Very light trigger pull once the cocker has been pulled, and since they are gas operated, they are able to eject spent cases without an extractor. If I was 21, and had that much money to spend, I'd buy one in a heart beat.

My son's first gun was airsoft at age 6.  His first time shooting a real firearm was a Mini-14 at age 8.

Yea paco, I passed, it was so tough man, I dont know how I made it through that class.  They make you shoot a paper target from like three feet away.  Im surprised I hit the thing.  I cant shoot that well, I just like guns because they accessories my shoes and necklaces really well.

Anyhow, I took it at the scottsdale gun club.  Really good instructors there.  Every person there who had allready taken a class in the past, said that the class at SGC is by far the best they have seen, and I really cant think of anything else that they could do to make it any better.  Plus, for 109 dollars, you get other stuff too, heres what I got.  For starters, I got to do about 20 minutes on their FATS machine with an M4, which broke down and they are going to replace, so because not everyone got to use the FATS machine, we all got cards for free range time.  We got offered 150 bucks off of a benneli shotgun, and I think money off a glock, and money off memberships if we wanted them.  Based on what it costs to get range time and use the fats machine, you get a whole lot for your 109 dollars, plus it was real upbeat, and I was laughing every 15 minutes, which is hard to make me do anymore.

Im off to work.

P.S.  Paco, if we ever shoot together, its comp time.

First handgun at 18(sw airweight).  first rifle at 19(mak90).   My favorite handgun is my series 1 kimber I lightly customized and my favorite rifle is my Smith Enterprises rebuilt M1A with all GI parts.     I also prefer desert shooting to "ranges".   I'm not fond of bench shooting, except for zeroing when i can't lay prone.

Not to get this thread off topic but I've had my AZ CCW for over 5 years and both times I've had to qualify, (once to get it and once to renew it) it was very scary watching some of these people shoot.  So when Joey says he passed that's saying something.  Good job Joey!

I thought the CCW for AZ shooting requirements were 70% at 5 to 10 yards with 10 shots.  Has anyone not received a CCW because of not "passing" the shooting portion of the 16 hour course?  I mean, 7 out of 10 shots within the 2nd ring at 5 to 10 yards...  in the *highly* unlikely event that someone was unable to do that, do they allow you to try again until you *can* do it, or is it just too bad - no <s>soup</s> CCW for you!

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
A.  Minimum standard: At least 10 rounds with a firearm and live ammunition, no time limit (5 rds at 5 yards and 5 rds at 10 yards).

B.  NRA TQ-15, TQ-19 or equivalent, i.e., secondary scoring ring equal to 14 x 16, or less. Shots outside of the 2nd scoring ring will not count.

C.  70 percent hits within the secondary scoring ring are required for a passing score.

I have heard of people failing to qualify.  I'm not sure what the stipulations are for being able to retake the shooting portion of the exam.

Paco... have you taken your CCW class yet?  If not you'll find out first hand.  By the way, have you joined the NRA yet?
