MSP wait times for handgun approval

[TANK222]

Well I just called MSP and the snarky bitch on the phone was no help. She told me to call the dealer, which I had already done and all they could tell me was that it wasn't back yet. I called MSP just to make sure that there weren't any errors in my filing and to verify that they had received it. She confirmed that it's currently, "in process" and will be, "a while longer". She said, "if you were in a hurry then you should have bought a gun last year before the rush". I did not argue, curse or pitch a fit. I thanked her for her time and hung up. Not a happy camper.

I keep reading story's like this and every time I go to the barracks or call they are very polite and helpful.

As stated yesterday, I emailed them about my 1/15 paperwork and was being processed and to check back "later in the week" email response was amazing, emailed them sunday and had a response first thing Monday morning. Keep in mind everyone, when they tell you the wait time the day you buy your gun, its not going to be your wait time, it was a valid wait time for the guy that bought 3-4 weeks earlier. The wait time on Jan 15 was 19 days. now I am on day 28, be patient, it sucks but there's nothing any of us can do. The more you piss off the MSP the longer they are going to take.... Don't think for one second that ignorant requests and phone calls wont yield you a trip to the BOTTOM OF THE STACK!! I followed up with an email stating that I am grateful of their efforts and such a fast response in such a busy time.....

Dude an non ip by the name of atlantic guns has a few glocks at 650$ for g30's and they have 27's

'Dude', at 15% I'm $82-92 in the hole if I back out and go to another shop.My 27 priced out at $550,that's why I bought it at The Gun Shop.I'm not sure how long I'll wait. The Gun Connection had 2 model 27's (IN STOCK) when I "ordered" mine.

Well...add me to the list. Not only do i have to wait for the paperwork...i gotta wait for the pistol to come in..... But for the price i paid from the Cop Shop its worth the wait. I couldnt resist.

Ok, so suggestions please. I'm military, stationed in Maryland, but I'm a Washington resident with a CCW. With the CCW, there is no wait in Washington. My gun is supposed to show up here tomorrow. Should I just pay the extra and have it shipped to Washington and just pick up there since I will be there this weekend, out just suck it up and wait here?

Just got a response from MSP stating that applications submitted early Feb are approximately 25 days.

 

[SCOTTG82]

[TonyB.]

[SCOTTG82]

Probably about right, i am on my 20th business day, 28 total days and still no gun in hand

Send it home. Too hell with md!

Holy shit! Go to the first page of this thread....i mentioned going to the cop shop in one of the first posts and it could have been an extra week bc they had so many pistols sold that msp complained about them submitting and someone else mentioned a lawsuit....no look where we are! Its also ironic, that person said "whats next" lol

Called 'The Gun Shop' yesterday, they have NO Glocks of ANY flavor Filled my paperwork out on 1/11 but thats a moot-point because with no serial number,my paperwork SITS!

You can't wait on one shop - they have no clue when things will arrive. You have to get out, find new sellers, and see if you get lucky. I found two shops selling Glocks. My wife bought a G19 Boron (her first firearm purchase) and after telling a co-worker, he ran up and grabbed a G21. They are out there!

Picked up a 1/14 from Freestate tonight.

Me? Always on the lookout for Sigs.

I think South Carroll has a Sig. I will check tomorrow.

Not quite. Early Jan were about 3 weeks. Mid-Jan are running four weeks. We just put in papers on a Glock and were told 4-5 weeks and please don't call until after 5 weeks if we haven't heard anything by then.

Im waiting until April-May for mine G23 to come in....paid in full. Paperwork is mostly filled out....just waiting on a serial number...

Im doing my best to forget about it. Im just waiting for one day to get a call saying "hey, guess what came in!"

Yep,I'm sure other shops have 'em but going by what my receipt says,I'll lose 15% if I "pull out" of my deal with The Gun Shop.Guess I could stop in and plead my case but I signed on the line.Isn't their fault Glock can't keep up with demand........mine either.
