It reallyy isn't that complicated to load a magazine. The only point I was trying to make is that passing the test is no indicator of shooting skills or abilities.

I don't see any problem with that. No different than driving a borrowed car for the road test and getting a lesson where the controls are in that car. The situation I heard about would be like someone else operating the turn signals and shifting gears for you during the test.

I hear stories that some instructors "help" students with loading and other things during the test, but I don't know how DPS allows that. If the only thing the student has to do is line up the sights and operate the trigger, there's no difference between a revolver and semiautomatic. Sights work the same. DAO triggers work the same. However, there is a difference in the law, depending on what someone uses on the test.
