Re: "Modified" Pistol for CHL Class

The SA-NSA distinction is a holdover from the way that security guards are licensed. They have to qualify with each type of weapon that they want to use.

It's pointless. No other state has such a requirement (though some require you to qualify with the exact handgun that you're going to carry).

Re: "Modified" Pistol for CHL Class

The more I think about this nonsense, the stupider it gets. Would they prohibit non-factory sights? magazines? grips? Duracoat?

Re: "Modified" Pistol for CHL Class

Welcome to the forum.

It's not a legal requirement. The only legal requirement is to use a semi-auto of .32 caliber or higher, which you can find in Government Code 411.188.

The instructor or range can add requirements, I suppose. The law does not prohibit them from doing so.

You can borrow a pistol that he is comfortable with or find an instructor who doesn't need a dose of Ex-Lax.
