My understanding is that .22's aren't allowed for the NRA Instructor qualifications. Supposed to be 9mm/38 or bigger.

Nope, you can use a .22, it's fine. http://www.wcwinc.org/club/firearmsedfo ... RA-Std.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

PHASE 3 – PISTOL SHOOTING
Location: Range
Candidate will shoot any gun of their choice, regardless of action, sights or caliber, at a
blank 9 inch diameter paper target at a distance of 15 yards. Candidates will fire 20 shots
from a two-handed, unsupported, standing position. Targets will be broken into two tenshot
targets or four five-shot targets. Three points will be given for each scoring hit. In
order for a hit to count, it must fall inside a ½” border from the edge of the plate. Shots
that break the edge of the ½” border will count as hits. All scoring hits on a target must
be within a 6” or less extreme spread (see below). Candidates will be allowed to shoot
their own firearms if desired. Two requalification shoots are allowed within any 24-hour
period.

One guy had trouble qualifying with his .45. I lent him my Berreta .22 for the second try, and he did much better.

I used my Ruger Mark II Target and I was very glad I did. Holding 18 out of 20 inside 6" at 45' is not a gimme.
