I can't speak to the class thing but I can suggest that it might be necessary to lock the slide back to clear a malfunction or to clean the gun's innards.TGIF wrote:My wife decided she would like to get her CHL when I go to get mine. We figured out a method (thanks to YouTube) for her to rack the slide but she can't lock it open. I know we can see about getting her a smaller gun but she wants to know if she will be required to lock it open during the class. Can someone tell me if she will need to do that to pass the class?
Thanks,
Has she tried something like a S&W Airweight revolver in .38 Spec? They're neat little guns and they will get the job done.
