qualify with different ammo during CCW training

[zilla8]

Please move if in wrong area. I'm trying to get a answer on if you are going to have a Ruger LCR in 327 federal magnum on your CCW permit can you do your training and qualifying with say .32 S&W long or .32 H&R magnum since the LCR in 327 will shoot those other calibers.

None of my instructors ever checked my ammunition. You load it yourself and qualify with the gun. Ammo should not matter.

It is on the end-user (shooter/trainee/applicant) to use the appropriate ammo in their firearm.

Unless there is a catastrophic failure with the firearm (i.e. kaboom), the instructors/trainers will not check the ammo being used.



Per the firearm industry (NSSF, SAAMI), examples of appropriate ammo in revolvers:
.454 Casull = .454 Casull and .45 Colt
.44 Magnum = .44 Magnum and .44 Special
10x25mm Auto = 10x25mm Auto and .40 S&W
.357 Magnum = .357 Magnum and .38 Special
.327 Federal Magnum = .327 Federal Magnum, .32 H&R Magnum, and .32 S&W Long
.32 H&R Magnum = .32 H&R Magnum, and .32 S&W Long

in san diego when i did my qual with a .357/38spcl revolver, they did not check the ammo i was using nor did they require i shoot both when i asked for clarification for my ammo choice.

I'll be loading up some cowboy wax bullets.

Just need to make a hole in the paper.

Seriously though....... mine specifically says non hollow points (which basically means no carry ammo). All they want is no malfunctions on the range avoid any nonsense associated with ammo issues.

Thank you everyone for the replies. My main reason for wanting to know has to do with the cost and availability of 327 fed mag compared to .32 long

.32 H&R Magnum = .32 H&R Magnum, and .32 S&W Long

44 Magnum will also take 44 Russian and 357 Magnum will also take 38 Short Colt.
