Another range qualification question

[tx glock guy]

My feft arm/hand does not function 100 percent.
I can shoot well enough with only my right to more than qualify point wise.
I can load magazines ( I will be using a Glock 30 for the test), but it takes quite a while. I will be bringing several magazines. i have the perception that the instructor will ask me to load a small number of rounds for esch string. is there a time limit for reloading and is it possible to cut the time down by preloading magazines?

I am running quite a few practice runs and would like them to be as "real world" as possible.

Thanks.

Good morning Sir, and welcome to the forum.

There is no "official" time limit for loading your magazines, most instructors will suggest that you have someone assist you (load for you) if loading for yourself is holding up the class.

You will be asked to load a specified number of rounds for each string of fire, so I wouldn't try to preload any magazines. I would think if you can load your magazine with 6 rounds in under 1 minute.....there should be no problem.

If you can demonstrate to the instructor that you know "how" to load, but simply have a mild disability....they should be satisfied. Many people, for many reasons need assistance to load.

You'll do fine.

Welcome to the forum!

Instructors are free to run the class however they wish, so I can't speak for your instructor. What I CAN tell you is that you should tell your instructor about your problem BEFORE you get to the range, so that there are no surprises.

As long as you can show me that you know how to perform the task, I will help you with the physical part. I am sure most other instructors feel the same way.

Enjoy your class!

Agree with llwatson, just tell the instructor before you hit the range.

I am sure people with much worse limitations have qualified.

Thank you all for your kind answers and encouragement.

Usually, my wife loads my mags for me. I will see about the ~ 1 minute target for loading 6 rounds.

We both took the classroom phase and will take the range test the same day.

This was my last hurdle. we took the class ar rhe Bullet trap in Plano and will take the range qual there also.
They are quite helpful, so all should go well. I will make sure tonotify my range instructor before hand( I don't like surprises either). maybe even a demo if he suggests, .
I will let him set the requirements and methods as we are all individuals.
Thanks again.
