Instructor is wrong. 32 caliber is good to go. I will say though that I have heard of two instructors that wouldn't allow .32 acp or .380acp for qualifying. They said it wasn't enough gun so they wouldn't allow it. Silly but I guess they can refuse, not sure? I will agree that .32 acp and .380acp are bug rounds but the requirements by law are .32 or larger to qualify. So if you primary carry a .32acp or .380acp that is your business and I don't think these instructors should really be giving chl applicants a problem with it imo.

Edit: I took my renewal a month ago and the instructor said .32 or larger but as a combat vet he whole heartily recommend 9mm or better and preferred .45acp if able to handle and conceal. He basically bashed the .32 and .380 and even said the 9mm was a horrible choice if not using modern hollow point ammo. Go figure.
