I'd love to use the pistol I've had for more than 20 years and put thousands and thousands through, but a Ruger MkII won't pass the caliber requirement...
Thankfully I've been to the range with the 1911 a bunch. So, it's the 1911 for me. Decision made based on experienced input! Thanks, seamus!

I've got plenty of 45 for the test and oddly enough, the last time I was there, my FFL told me he would rent me a Jericho 9mm if I wanted it for the test. He said he would supply the ammo for it, too. But, I've got several hundred rounds through the 1911 so I'm familiar with the way it feels and shoots. I've got a few days to make up my mind, I guess.

From the very first post in this thread:
Age: dangerously close to 40
Gender: male
Profession/school status: Graphic Designer/Photographer--Bachelor of Journalism, photojournalism concentration, UT
Marital status: married
Years CHL: 0
Carry guns/equipment: It'll be a 1911 of the Taurus variety for me.

My intention is to qualify with my 1911, too. Is 45acp overkill for a CHL class? Maybe I can borrow a 9mm...
