Hello all,
Been a long time since I've been here (looks to be about 12 years), but been even longer since I've bought a gun having to go through a NICS check (at least 13 years). Finally found a pistol I have been looking for for a while, and recently joining a club with an affordable range to shoot again (oddly enough they have both a race track and shooting ranges), so I jumped on it. Showed up at the local Cabelas from another Gun Library on Friday, went down to pick it up, and background check came back delayed. Salesperson halfway expected it, as he said he had ran more delays than approvals that day, and showed me a spreadsheet having to be 100+ folks waiting on a response from recently. Could only give me a time range from a couple hours to well more than a week on when I might hear back. Heard from a friend who has recently purchased a few pistols that a week may be quick, but another who sells guns that delays generally don't last long, i.e. all over the place.
Anyone have a realistic idea on how long it is taking to clear up delays these days? Custom holster is already in works, extra mags are on order, a small supply of 9mm acquired, just anxiously waiting for the gun itself to make its way home!
