Did you have to qualify with the same firearm that you planned to carry on your application?

Yes.

Thanks for this.

I took my 16 hour CCW class recently and at the end we did a mock Alameda qualification test. I was told I would have easily passed if it was for real.

Did they remove the 25 Yard Or just made it the final round set?

They made 25 yard the final round.

Don't re-file now. Wait until the new system is in place. I filed again and yesterday and this morning got the same email saying my application will be refunded (again).

This is the Sheriff being petty for no good reason. If a CCW holder is involved in a shooting, even if it was 100% justified, it should be assumed that the firearm will be confiscated by the police and held for months or years.

After a shooting, a CCW holder will have to apply to amend his/her CCW license to list a different firearm, wait for the Sheriff's office to respond, possibly take another CCW course, and then requalify with the new gun. If you're rich, I suppose that you could buy an extra CCW gun, hold it in reserve, and then hire an instructor for a private CCW qualification course. The rest of us will just be disarmed for months.

ACSO now uses the ACSO99 target. T and center mass hits count as 5. The new course of fire specifies "center mass" and starts at 2yd rather than at 25yd. They don't seem to be very happy if you have too many head shots.

Only one gun is allowed on the application but if you qualified 90% or above, you may request a second gun.

Are shots outside of center mass still scored but with less points in other zones on the target, or is it all or nothing with center mass getting 5 points and anything else is zero points?

[j6p2004]

What constitutes getting full points? Is it the small circle or the oval?

I didnt notice the B-21F on there. You're correct, different target they're using currently. Here is a pic of the one we used. The distances, time, # rounds are correct.

I think some people not holding guns properly as there is some level of stress in the range qual? Slides cutting into their hands. More training needed for sure. 1/2 of the range qual was to pull firearm out of holster. The other half, low ready.

I haven't taken the test but this is what I found online for the Alameda County CCW range qualification:
