My guess is that "further review" quickly becomes "delayed" during peak times, but who knows?I wish I bought enough guns to know what time of day is best for a NICS check.

NICS doesn't retain the fact that you've queried or how many times. it does keep an audit log of it's people who do the searches. That way if they audit, the NICS's call logs should line up with their search history.
i've seen folks with clearances get held up cause the reviewer isn't trained/cleared to pull the record and they got to find someone who does to hack off on it. added an extra 20 minutes to my friends trip cause of it. we haven't seen what happens when he goes for regulated so that'll be fun to watch him squirm.

Another good reason NOT to get an HQL, and just keep purchasing all guns with the C & R license.....
What does an HQL have to do with this?
Handguns go to MSP for clearance and NICS check. This situation, as described, is only on cash adn carry long guns.
I was Delayed by Dicks Sporting Goods for a shotgun late 2013. Havent been back but did call into NICS which responded with a letter saying that I am not Denied, only Delayed. No further explanation was given. I have never heard of anyone with a full name like mine...and its a very North American/Brittish one (just unique).
Exactly. My HQL purchases come back in 48 hours without issue. Different process.

My NICS check on Tuesday came back approved immediately. Don't want to make a guess as to why they want to further review you.

Only time I was ever delayed was when I did provide my SS#.

I always get further review but never a delayed. I never use my SS, my name is fairly common. I know why so no big deal and I tell dealers they will likely get further review.

With a name like mine, James Smith, you would think I'd be delayed all of the time. But the truth is, I've only been delayed once, which was years ago at a gun show.

Jesus Christ can you even buy a firearm in Md.I haven't pursued a HQL,probably won't ,Have a Gp 100 and a xd 45. Thats about it for handguns. The only thing next would be a 308 bolt gun or a semi auto 308. Money has been tight but soon I would like to get something.
It's possible someone with a similar name recently got into trouble, or recently had a record of their previous troubles uploaded to NICS.
Since NICS can't keep records of your previous resolution, they have to keep delaying to investigate.
You can sign up for the voluntary appeal file program, this allows NICS to keep a record of the resolution to the delay so it doesn' happen in the future.

I have a HQL but due to me being a LEGAL alien from Great Britian then I am always delayed on the check always saying it will be delayed 24-48 hours.It has some thing to do with squierly Social Security number. I am use to it now

Only been delayed 1 time. It was years ago for a single shot bolt action Henry .22lr for my son to use. I know nics doesn't know what gun I am buying but I found it rather comical that of all the purchases I have made that a firearm like that would trigger a delayed.

Criminal locked up with same name!
My son who is a Jr. (same name as mine) has a criminal record and use to live in my house but not anymore and is LOCKED UP, Do you guys think that this would STOP me from getting an Md HQL License?? I already purchased 2 handguns in years past but my NICS and JIS are showing "Incomplete" for 3 days now.. Md Is Crazy..

MD has NOTHING to do with NICS. That is purely Federal.
