Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE COURSE OF FIRE

A precise 25‑shot standard at 10 yards

The qualification requires 25 shots per qualifying handgun, at 10 yards on a B‑27 target; any impact within the #7 ring counts as a hit. The course of fire is exacting: count your shots and place them consistently.

THE SCOREKEEPING

No make‑ups, strict counting rules

There are no make‑up shots—any extra shots beyond the allotted count register as misses. Missing more than three shots results in failure of that firearm's qualification.

FAILURES & CONDUCT

Malfunctions and safety infractions carry immediate consequences

If a firearm experiences more than three malfunctions (Type 1, 2, or 3), that firearm will be failed. Negligent conduct—such as muzzling an instructor or another student—will result in immediate disqualification and ejection.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to re‑qualify

The first day is a classroom stretch: laws, safe storage and transport, self‑defense mindset, situational awareness and a written test. The second day shifts to the range where you bring qualifying firearms, run proficiency drills (reloads, malfunctions, safe handling, field strip/reassembly) and complete the timed qualification under supervised conditions.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this re‑qualification is for — and who should opt for a different path.

1
In‑county CCW holders (current or recently lapsed)Appropriate for holders whose certification has not been lapsed for more than six months and who need to renew their qualification without taking the full course.
2
Holders expired less than six monthsIf your CCW has been expired less than six months you are eligible to enroll in this re‑qualification course to regain certification.
3
Holders expired more than six monthsNot a match — if your certification lapsed more than six months you must take the full California CCW Course rather than this re‑qualification.
4
Out‑of‑county CCW holdersNot eligible for this re‑qualification; if your current California CCW was issued out of another county you must complete the full California CCW Course.
