You don't need to have your weapons listed on the application. You can wait until you're further along and, once you're approved, you just need to make sure you have your final CCW weapons (up to three) to qualify with and the Sheriff's office will take your list of weapons at that time. One of my weapons is a PM9 but by then you might also have the Ruger LC9 to pick from which is more reasonably priced. You could get something even smaller like the LCP9 if you go see Mike at Tracy Rifle and Pistol to go through the single shot exemption. That said, I don't think your M&P is too big either.

i have a full size m&p 40 right now, but i dont think it would be very concealable and probably a little on the heavy side for ccw....what do you guys recommend for a ccw?...i was thinking something on the lines of a kahr pm9 or xd9 subcomp?

You'd be surprised. I've carried a full sized M&P9 and it's not bad. I'm a small guy. I bought a glock19 for carry though.

You'll want it before your first appointment day, because the serial number goes on the app

Edit: I stand corrected

[harbinger007]

Just to clear up any confusion (even though JT1989 edited his post already), the application does request the weapon information but some people have been told they could leave that blank until later. My final list was on my qualifications was slightly different than what was listed on my application (added a barrel for one weapon).

For initial approval, you won't have to list any weapons on the application. You will have to have at least ONE weapon on the license, so you'll have to have that at the final appointment where you sign the license.

Did you list it with multiple calibers? ie .40/9mm or .40/357 sig? I asked and was told that it could only be carried as what was listed if the officers would look up the serial. I asked because I was thinking of getting a .357 sig barrel for my G23. I thought I had read otherwise but couldn't find it with google.

Yes, in the caliber column I've listed .40/.357 on my CCW. I have some old posts about this and some people said I was crazy and that the DOJ would nail me and other ridiculous FUD. I wrote to Amber and asked her about it and 20 minutes later she e-mailed me back and told me I could do it. I did list it as ".40/.357SIG" but she left the "SIG" part out due to space limitations.

EDIT: Here's a link to a post in the thread I started on this with the particular post with which quotes the response I received from Amber. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...7&postcount=10

I will be on Mr. Wesley class this 3/19. Will learn a lot and also exciting.

[CSDGuy]

Wes is pretty good! I think you'll learn a LOT from him. He'll learn a lot from you too. Once you've done your qualification, you'll have a LOT of fun! Definitely participate in class and the discussions. MUCH learning happens.

[ccwtrainer]

I learn a bunch from every class I teach! That's one of the biggest benefits of being an instructor.

I'm looking forward to your class tiko!

ShootinMedic,
Just be sure to tell your instructor, before he prints your certificate, that you want your gun listed with both calibers. It's totally doable but, not very common so, he won't know to do it unless you mention it.

I'm new here, I was recently turned onto this site by a friend of mine that was successful in getting his CCW, I mentioned to him that I was interested in getting mine but didn't think I could in Sac Co. but it looks like that has changed now. I printed out the application and scheduled an interview, earliest I could get so far was August 31st. The good thing is I can check several times a day for an earlier interview on my phone. My wife is probably going to get hers as well. Really glad I was told about this site!
