Heard someone using primer only rounds to shoot their qualification.  Any input on this? Ammo requirement not specified?  I know how I feel about just curious if the law allows it.

Thanks.

Am I understanding you correct there is no projectile?? Totally illegal and in fact a crime. That would qualify as lying on the qualification portion of a concealed carry endorsement. TURN THE FUCKER IN ASAP !!!!!!!

The primer only rounds I have do in fact have a projectile.
Why you would use them I don't know, kinda hard to find and more money than regular rounds.
Maybe he bought a butt load during the . 22 scare, lol.

Legally, can't say for sure, but it is sold as ammunition.

I'm sure it was done in a feeble attempt to reduce the bruising recoil of the standard .22 LR.  

My preference would be tracers, though.

Primer only as in no powder but still uses a projectile.  Not sure if it's the Aguila Super Colibri or something else.  

Like I said I know how I feel about it just wasn't sure if it's a legal type of ammo for a ccw qual.  I've not found anything that specifies the requirements of ammo types.

The diploma that the instructor signs says that the student put at least 15 out of 20 qualifying rounds on target.

Maybe they're in a building that is not a true range......no bullet trap or air ventilation.  So they use something that can just be shot into a wall and isn't lead?  Just a theory.

Also, maybe the light rounds to control the noise??  So the students don't need ear protection or neighbor issues?

It's fine.     I've used it in revolvers a few times when ammo was scarce.
