Disassembled isn't an option in the handguns you'll use in the test. It is only legal with bolt actions where you remove the bolt or bolt carrier. Lock the gun so it cannot fire and lock the case so it can't be opened.
Passed cfsc, about to challenge restricted, any advice?

The examiner shouldn't be telling you to touch the trigger at any point during the test. The only time you would need to decock a revolver is if you accidentally put it the D/A on full #### and ended up with the cylinder locked closed.
I may have meant disabled, by lock, then packed in a locked box as well. But that's not what I wrote so now I'm not even quite sure what I was thinking...
We needed to load 2 chamber 1, I'd assume you need to go hammer back on a single action to count as chambered, then you'd need the trigger to decock. I'm not sure if any single action revolvers have decockers.
Other than then I wouldn't put you finger on the trigger. Even for the 'show ____ shooting stance'. My finger was clear the entire time.

1) When the CFRSC textbook if offered, pony yo the $20 and BUY IT. Lots of useful information in there.
2) Seriously- study that textbook I just told you to buy. Sound familiar? People have been doing it in high schools, colleges and universities and it turns out it actually does work.
3)Make sure you get a good rest before taking the test. The last thing you want is to put the mag in a Glock the wrong way. (Which a guy did in the course I did....)

I agree with all this! Maybe I should use a smiley...
I was able to borrow the Restricted handbook, excellent to have. I need to re-thank Greg the instructor when I see him again. I studied and compared it against my non-r booklet
Anyone looking to challenge either test should try to find the handbooks, everything you need is in there. Which leads to Djmay's #2 Study.
It's not about scoring high marks for bragging rights or anything but this is a safety course. Do what you like later on but knowing the right/wrong way first is most important.
3) sleep, do what you can. The leading week had me doing other courses, driving hours around and being nervous especially before the challenge.
Sleep and be prepared at least so you don't make silly mistakes during the practical and read every question carefully. I knew the answer to one of my incorrect challenge answers as soon as my instructor read it to me. I heard the important word that made my answer wrong.
How do you all write such short replies... this is getting long winded... Bye!
Not exactly on topic, but you got me thinking... I did CFSC in Ontario in the summer...cost me $220 and 14 hours of my time...
Just did my CRFSC in Manitoba, cost my $20 bucks and took 15 minutes.
Looking to join a gun club in Ontario: $75 intuition fee, $220 membership fee + $20 per section (rifle, handgun, archery, etc) + 1yr probationary period...
Gun club in Manitoba: $40 for the year, $3 for a key.
I may just move out here permanently!

Congrats on passing the course! I do mine at the end of the month.

Trinimon thanks for the links, you should try to post that in a thread that can be stickied, I'm sure a lot of people could use it.
Seems to be no standard and I've heard very expensive range prices and they all seem to be in Ontario. Not good for me since I plan to move back there in a few years and will instantly have a very expensive hobby.
The CFSC course here was $100 that's the course, handbook and test, day and a half. I didn't take the Restricted course because they don't have one scheduled yet and they're only done if there is enough interest.
There were 12 in my course and not all were going restricted.
The challenge test was still $100 so a bit silly since when the R course happens it'll be $100 for the course and test. Good news I got to keep the R handbook after the test, if I didn't do the test he wanted the book back or else he'd have to pay. Very nice surprise for me, I was going to ask on here if someone wanted to sell theirs.
Local range is ONLY $50 per year, $75 for a couple, that includes the gun ranges and archery, any additional fees can't be much like keys etc
Spyd4r you didn't get to keep the book? Everyone I know that took this course before has one somewhere at home. I thought you always got to keep it?

Ya. 90% of the restricted book is from the non-restricted course. Not much new other than the firearms being different.
