Dont know if someone posted about the MSP told MSI they had over 11000 checks to make during Dec. Think they normal do 4000. From the MSI website.

Today LGS told me paperwork backlog is over 2 weeks at MSP. Trooper said they're handing out OT like crazy to try and catch up... and still not even coming close. He doesn't expect this trend to change any time soon.

Got items on 12/26/12 and just received my approval today. Slow but steady good luck out there.

Better than Xmas morning...

Filled out the 26th, returned on the 9th.

Bought a Beretta PX4 Storm. Can anybody recommend a good speed loader? Beretta supplied one, but wasn't great...

Stay away from HP ammo, alot of info that it tears up the gun period. FMJ is fine.

I've heard that too. Numbers wise I've been told MSP went from receiving about 125 apps a day to 800.

 

[Crownroyal79]

Yeah I'm expecting to no get my ruger in my hands for at least a month maybe more, good thing Freestate has "visitation" and I'll be able to shoot it, just not take it home until I clear.

I started the transfer of an AR15 at the Westminster MSP barracks yesterday. The Sargent at the desk doing the paperwork said the MSP went from 100 apps a day to 600. 100 seems low, but in any case the number of applications submitted has gone up considerably. He did say we could do the physical transfer on the 8th day even without the completed paperwork.

Guess that's better than getting no gun at all back

Why can't dealers do this?

 

[MDGolom]

Why can't dealers do this?

They can't/won't release the firearm without the NICS # which only the MSP can get from the FBI. By the letter of the law, they may be able to release it on the 8th day, but they're not going to put their neck out there without the NICS.

Since there is no FFL involved here, technically we can release it after the 7th day. One issue is that both parties have to sign the final paperwork once approved by the MSP. If you do the physical transfer first, you still either need to get together and sign or mail it to each other.

Paperwork done on 12-31....and there was 2 Holidays......but in total 14 days....and waiting......

 

[Crownroyal79]

Holidays don't have an effect. Its 7 days weekends/holidays are still considered. Now, were the probably very short staffed those days yes, but holidays don't stop the 7 day process. I purchased my XD before thanksgiving and still received it in 7 days including turkey day.
