Yes, and if you take a 5-shot revolver to the DPS range, you'll be the target of grief from the troopers, as they have to change their sequences to accommodate you.
No? None at all. Though I had a 6, when it came time for revolver shooting, they based it on assumption of 5.
Perhaps they had somebody else there with a 5-shot, or maybe they've changed their load procedures to accommodate. But that's what I remember from when I shot there. I have slept since then… :mrgreen:

Even prior to this change, I would always have a couple want to use a wheelie... I was able to talk them into using one of my loaner semi's so they could carry either, but yeah..they already were. Now with the law change, I am seeing even more. That being said, consistently the ladies who brought a revolver because their husband or gun shop told them it would be easier? Yeah, I would see then shooting all over the target at the 3 yard. I suggest to them to try the semi and if they don't like it, they can go back to the revolver..and they always end up preferring the semi. I never have figured out how a harder trigger, less rounds, slower to reload makes it a "ladies gun."
Hmmm… You allow them to change guns in the middle of the proficiency test? That feels like something that wouldn't be allowed, though I know of no rules against it.

The required course of fire at 3 yards says:
B.Ten shots(10)fired in a “Two Shot Exercise” 3 seconds allowed for each two shot sequence

This means that a gun has to hold at least 10 rounds in order to fire five consecutive two shot strings.
How do you get around that?
No. You load 6 rounds (fired two at a time), then load 4 more (and fire those two at a time).
