[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2834448, member: 24583"] In my opinion, like many "Required Courses" this will give you a license to learn. It is information to get you started doing your own research regarding the laws and most likely some very good personal opinions of the particular instructor. You virtually can not be failed unless you accidentally shoot someone. Any semi-auto that shoots reliably will be sufficient for the qualification. Several years ago my wife and I used the range .22s provided (they preferred us using their firearms) that jammed every 4th or 5th shot. Got a lot of practice clearing jams. We cam home and fired at least 100 rounds in our pistols. Much more fun. After you get this formality out of the way, I would suggest you find a range that has a beginner class that has several firearms you can try. You might be surprised what feels "right" to you. Just because someone likes one brand or type better does not mean it will work best for you. Any real class should be of great benefit also. In my opinion way too much emphasis is put on what brand of firearm, what caliber, or what whizzo latest ammo is best. Shot placement with a firearm you are comfortable with that fits your hand is more of a key than anything. A .22 short up my nose from an old $25 un-reliable pocket auto is not something I would want to deal with. You might want to read over the Oklahoma Laws at [url]https://www.ok.gov/osbi/documents/SDA_LAW_BOOK.pdf[/url] if you have not already and see if all your questions are answered during the presentation and ask questions afterward if you have any. Congratulations, soon you can anguish over CC vs OC or Colt vs Glock vs Rugar, or many others. IWB, OWB, pocket carry, etc. Above all, get real training, practice, and stay safe. [/QUOTE]
