I was told if you qualify with a revolver for a ccw, that you can carry any revolver under that qualification. Does anyone know if this true.

in tx you can qualify with a semi-auto or a revolver.
If you qual with a semi-auto you can carry a semi-auto or a revolver.
If you qual with a revolver you can carry a revolver but cannot carry a semi-auto.
In Nevada we itemized by make, model and caliber of specific semi-autos. It use to be that it was itemized by make, model and caliber of all firearms. If you have qualified with revolvers, you can carry one or two round derringers as well. Keep in mind that NRS 202.3653 includes only one or two round derringers, there are some three and four round derringers out there. Those are not included by statute.
There should be a bill in the next legislative session to remove the specific semi-auto requirement. It will then just be any semi-auto and any revolver which is the way it is for LEOSA in Nevada.
If you have a Nevada CFP that was issued before the change to "any revolver" in the 2007 legislative session and you have a revolver on it, you are authorized to carry any revolver or any one or two round derringer as you've qualified with a revolver.
Yes, under State law they are each different semi-autos. Specific semi-auto is defined by statute as make, model and caliber.I realize that we are required to qualify for all semi-autos. What if the semi-autos are of the same make?
For example, I like the Smith & Wesson M&P. I have qualified with the 9 full , the 9 compact and the 45 compact.
If I am using the same make, do I have to qualify with every caliber? It's basically the same handgun.
In South Carolina, once you receive your CWP you can carry any concealable weapon.
"Concealable weapon" means a firearm having a length of less than twelve inches measured along its greatest dimension that must be carried in a manner that is hidden from public view in normal wear of clothing except when needed for self-defense, defense of others, and the protection of real or personal property.

As gf has stated, this is the Nevada location forum. SC law does not apply within the State of Nevada.In South Carolina, once you receive your CWP you can carry any concealable weapon.

In Minnesota you can carry concealed or open, I carry my 10-1/2" BFR and usually the bottom of my shoulder holster sticks out the bottom of my coat. Nobody bothers me. Dave
All depends where you are. I've heard of states that if you qualify with a revolver only, you have to carry a revolver. Same for autos, if you only qualify with an auto, you have to carry an auto. Thank God that's not the case here in Michigan. You can qualify with whatever - and once you've got your CPL (/CCW/LTCH, etc) you can carry whatever you want. If you carry concealed, you can carry whatever you can conceal. If openly carrying, you can carry whatever the hell you want. Gotta love it.
Gentlemen, this again is outside of the scope of this particular discussion group. This is for Nevada and only Nevada law matters here. The persons inquiring about the qualification requirements for Nevada are not interested in what applies in Michigan, Minnesota or any other State as it has no relevance whatsoever to adding specific semi-auto pistols to their respective Nevada CFP or the punishment if they fail to do so.
Carrying firearms not specifically on your Nevada CFP is a category C felony per NRS 202.350 punishable by one to five years plus up to a $10K fine. It's in their vested interest to do everything in accordance to the laws here, not the laws in Michigan or Minnesota. If someone prefers the CCW laws there they are more than welcome to relocate there.
