Thanks guys. Yeah JJ, I was thinking last night "That's about 500 rounds and even though I'm shooting better, god knows how my technique is and what I'm making mechanical." Better to learn right the 1st time than have to unlearn and learn again.

Thanks Sar- I figured shooter here would know something about it. It is the pistol class. Is it all shooting and such? Our 10 hour NRA class was 3 hours of you need to conceal carry/carry/you have to carry/you're gonna carry right?!

CT is pretty easy (I think). They require a NRA handgun class, apply at local PD (prints/background check, they approve and it's off to the State Police for Permit to Own and/or Carry. It's good for 5 years and you can buy handgun/long gun/shotgun and walk out the store with them. With no permit or hunting license you can buy a long gun or shotgun and you have a two week wait and no pistol buying without a permit. Think that's it, but Kenken is from CT and can correct me if he sees the thread. Took a smidge over a month from my class to permit to my little Ruger.
