I agree with howdy about the range requirements, the range I went to only allows brass. Make sure you have 50 rounds.
.38 is not that hard to find. My local Academy always has it. The Range Officers at the DPS range Do check your ammo. They are very strict on range rules and they have no sense of humor when it comes to infractions (as it should be) Many of the students bring extra ammo. They might sell you a box if needed, but I would not count on that. You need to think about bringing a spare pistol too. Every time I have gone for requal,there is a least one shooter with a broken pistol. Someone has always had a gun they could shoot, but again, don't count on it. You must score 90% so a strange pistol might not be good. It is a beautiful range in the middle of no where. Be sure to watch your mileage when you turn off the main road. That is about the only way to find the little road leading to the range. I don't recall if it was on my GPS.
I know this is off subject...but. Don't show up with a 2 inch barrel revolver. I know that is what people carry, but don't try to qualify with that. I use a 6" S&W that is a nail driver. I see guys with the Matt Dillion 9" special cowboy revolver. Make it easy on yourself. Same for your pistol.
