Hi Everybody,

 

So, I purchased a brand spanking new P229 on Monday, the 15th of April. I am extremely excited, as i'm sure you all can understand. This will be my first handgun.

 

In any event, I too, am now one of those waiting on a miserable NICS check. I was wondering when those of you got the call from your LGS that the NICS was cleared. Was it during the morning, afternoon, or at night? Also, does anybody know if they are also sending back approvals during the weekends? I'd just really love to get a call tomorrow on my day off (Saturday), and was wondering if that was a possibility!

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies,

 

Michael

My past 2 NICS calls were received around 1:00-2:00 timeframe during the week. I think that was more from the LGS calling buyers in batch to pickup. NICS is open until 5 today, so there is a good possibility today you might get the call.

 

Great pick for a first gun. Good Luck with it and welcome to the 2A family.

My last nics came back on a Saturday and 12 days included one weekend, into the next.

The call can come anytime when someone at NICS is working. I am still waiting for the ones submitted on 4/13. 14 days and counting.

I completely understand how you feel. I've been waiting since the 11th. I've received calls in the afternoons and in the evenings and also on a Saturday before, so there's always a chance. Good luck and congrats on your first handgun!

day 11 for my m&p40 i was hoping to shoot this weekend,iguess next week?

Congrats, and welcome to the crazy NJ gun law joke. What part of "Instant" does our stupid state not get?

This is just my first handgun, i'm well aware of the joke that is New Jersey's gun laws lol..

 

Update... no call today. Tomorrow is Sunday. So, i guess i'll be crossing my fingers on day 14 (Monday)...

Got my call this afternoon. That made it 16 days for me. Good luck

I don't get it.. It seems like this is just getting worse...Today is exactly two weeks for me (14 days)... no call yet.

two weeks for me too... 14 days :...(

I called the store last night and they said that my NICS had just cleared... 14 days.

15 days here and waiting

14 days and counting....

This is why until all this shit is fixed i will be purchasing long guns in pa.

Mine came back today 17 calendar 15 business days.. Nj suxxxxz

Long time lurker... figured I'd jump in on this thread.

Bought my first handgun this past Sat. a Springfield 1911. Did a ton a research and super excited to get it.

Store owner siad NCS checks are running upward of 10-14 days right now.... well, I guess if I waited this long, whats another couple weeks? T.T

Thats how they want us to feel. Till were waiting 90 days for nics and a year on pps and fids. Slippery slope.

hopefully my permit doesnt expire before my NICS check goes through.
