First off, thanks for all the answers.....

The gun I'm using IS reliable (Firestar 9mm...doesn't jam unless really dirty). It also happens to be my ONLY elligible auto (I'm more of a revolver guy.)

I've always been more of a "belt & suspenders" type of guy....better to be ready for the worst. And the first two questions were ones for which I had never been able to get a straight answer. I may borrow a 9mm for the test as a backup....just in case.

The last question came up when my friends & I discussed the instructor from whom we are taking the course. He apparently has this "no pre-loaded mags" rule, and my friend states that showing how to load the magazine is part of the qualification. I have my doubts about that part, so I thought I'd ask the experts......

Many thanks.....

These scenarios may just be in the theoretical, but I want to be prepared for the worst....

1. If you start the shooting qualification with an auto in one caliber and that auto breaks down, can you continue the shooting portion with an auto in a different caliber and still qualify?

2. If you start the shooting qualification with an auto (9mm) and that auto breaks down, can you continue the shooting portion with a revolver in a similar caliber (.38SPL) and still qualify for an auto license?

3. When you shoot an auto, can you have your magazines loaded for the reloads, or must the ammo be loose to demonstrate to the instructor that you can load a mag (something I've heard that one instructor requires)?

Many thanks.....
