Alameda

[RAD-CDPII]

I just qualified yesterday with a Kimber Ultra CDP II in 45 ACP and an Sig P938. So a definite YES as long as the weapon is registered to you.

Should also mention they made no mention of any prohibited modifications and didn’t check firearms for modifications, etc. my firearms were both stock aside from aftermarket sights on one of them. The gentleman next to me had a Shield with a red dot and Apex trigger. All they did was check the serial number of your firearm to the serial number on the list they were provided to make sure they matched.

Thanks Vinnie

Thanks for the reply

Does Alameda County allow 1911 style single action handguns to be used for and listed on your CCW?

Thinking like a Colt Defender and Sig 938 9mm?

Thanks

In the class and range qualification I took through ACSO I don’t remember them saying 1911’s were prohibited and swore I saw one older gentleman who was there with a 1911. Seemed like most everyone else had a Glock or a Shield for the most part.

But I mean doesn't everything in CA already cost us? Nothing new in that aspect, does not surprise me one bit.....

It's going to cost you. I took one of the last range qualification classes through ACSO and now that they will be farming it out to private vendors, yes you will be able to qual during the class, but they told us that these private vendors will probably charge several hundred $$$ for these classes. The deputy who conducted our range qualification estimated that the private vendors may charge anywhere from $400-$800 just for the safety class/range qualification!

That is great news! It should save applicants like myself and others here some time and help speed up the overall process .

Good news Alameda applicants. Now when you attend your training course your instructor can do your qualification as long as they have a range available that allows you to shoot from holster out to 25 yards.

Additionally, they are no longer limiting initial applicants to only one firearm, you can carry two. Adding to that they have removed the 90% qualification requirement if you were going to carry two. Just need 70% to pass on both.

Had our first Alameda trainee come through our class yesterday with these new rules and we were able to have him shoot the qualifier at the end of our class.
