He giggles like a little kid when he sends a soda bottle flying off of a stand. Hysterical.

I agree the buckmark is pretty sweet, and so are some of the others out there. I wonder if Beretta has any plans in a 92 frame standard with the 22 lr? I kind of expected mixed thoughts, and i appreciate all perspectives. With the 22 round being as dirty as it is, have you had any cleaning issues or any other wear issues using the practice kit? How easy us it to swap out the slide etc, and is it easy enough to do it at the range?

Being a noob, and like many, waiting on my FID and P2P's, I wanted to focus my attention on something other than becoming more and more frustrated with all of the attacks against the 2nd Amendment, and waiting from day to day, hoping to get that call that my ID's and cards are ready. Once i am able to purchase my first firearm, I. have a pistol waiting for me. There is a 22lr practice kit made for the firearm. Just wondering if it is worth getting one or it is better to just buy a 22 lr pistol? I understand the more you use a firearm the more things wear, but it seems logical to go with the conversion kit so I can become more comfortable with the one pistol, rather then 2 at the same time. My original plan was to get 2 handguns, one being a 22. My thought was, it is a less expensive way to shoot, and develop my skills. I wanted a 22 that sights in and functions as similar to my other pistol as possible. I did not want something totally different like a mark III or Browning. I guess I should mention that the pistol i have waiting for me is a Beretta 92fs m9a1. I appreciate all the feedback.

Being a Noob and not knowing squat compared to the folks on here i am a big hickok fan. Learned quite a bit from his videos. Man what a setup he has. Love how he dumps the bullets in cigar boxes and bowls. The gong is awesome. Lol.

Anyone know what they ask as part of the employment verification?

Good luck in the process. As many will share it can take a very long time for you FID to come back. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Well at least you know what needs to be done now. As I expected I heard nothing, and did not receive a call back.

Good luck with it. Hope it gets processed through quickly for you.

I am waiting to hear back from the sgt to see what he needs. I was thinking that either i would provide a money order/ check to the pd so they can sign up for the service. Either way it is all done electronically, so if they are looking to actually speak to someone it will not happen.

No, that would not even cause them to flinch. You would be surprised how many companies are doing the same thing. It is run through Equifax.

Welcome from WTP SJ.

Could be, but my employer will not provide them anything unless they pay for it. Seems a bit of a rights violation if you ask me. What business is of my employer to know if i am applying for a firearm Id?

What form did they send your employer? Did you have to submit anything to the pd other than the sts33, the mental health check form, references, and prints?

Left a message. Any takers on if or when i get a call back?

Debating whether i should call the Lt and let him know or if it will just annoy them. I am not positive they actually do a check of employment or not.

I wouldn't think so either, but why is it on the form. Wondering if that is part of the reason i have not heard anything about my application. 11 weeks starts today. My company will not accept an employment verification call. It has to go through a paid service by the requestor. They also have a policy that prohibits any employee/mgr from giving and reference or employment verification.

Is an employment check a requirement for the FID? I assume it is since on the sts33 form it asks employer and add/phone

My company also does an online type verification, and only through that system will they respond. I totally forgot this when i submitted my application. I would have hoped they would have called me if there was an issue. I do not recall on the form it asking for my supervisor. It was just business name, address and phone number.

Wow, Pauls is close by. I need to take a cruise down there. Man this is good stuff.

Welcome from WTP just a couple towns over.

When applying for initial FID you should not need to pay $18. You pay $5 for FID and $2 for each P2P. Plus the morpho fee $57.50.

No surprise, and if i had to guess, I would say the aim is to try and get ahead of what NY passed.

Brutal dude. Friday makes week 10 for me. So if that is the case i have a couple more weeks to go. My check was cashed feb 1. I turned in everything Dec 20. Not sure what each stage in the process, but thought once my check was cashed i was un the home stretch. Apparently not the case. When i turned them initially was told 2 months max. I really am trying not to expect it for another month or so. Did you pick out something to buy yet?

You are right. That doesn't make any sense. This all gets more and more frustrating by the minute. I know they are overloaded, but it really only impacts people looking to purchase a pistol, which i would imagine is the majority.

Month or two? Good luck, and I hope it is that short. I am on week 10 now. My town had 150 applications in January, and i heard they expecting more than that for Feb. I applied in December.
