General Discussion / Re: New way to aquire permit for firearms
« on: February 08, 2025, 07:51:31 PM »I know it’s one permit per firearm but I am not sure about multiple permits/purchases as I just did a single permit.You can apply for multiple permits with a single visit. No online options. You have to pick up the approved permit(s) at HPD and register the handgun(s) in person at HPD.

Legal and Activism / Re: Handgun Permit to Acquire no longer needs a serial number
« on: January 19, 2025, 07:05:53 PM »Has anyone applied for a pistol permit without the gun’s serial number?I just did this on Wednesday (HPD open till 6:30pm on Wednesdays). I was told at the window that everything is done in person, no emailing of permit and no online registration. That was my understanding anyway so . . .
Do you have the option to have it emailed like the traditional way of applying with the serial number?
Or, do you need to pickup the no serial number pistol permit in person?
Can you still do online registration with a no serial pistol permit?
Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Re: Random CCW question !!
« on: December 24, 2024, 07:02:06 PM »I just recently purchased my first pistol a Glock 45. I got it basically for how it fit my hand but because this is the Glock 17 sized handle I’m debating on getting something smaller to use for the CCW permit.Welcome to the forum. Please don't take this as being condescending but what you are calling a "handle" should be correctly called a "grip".
The Glock 49 is the reversed dimensions with longer slide and shorter (Glock 19) size handle, and the slides are interchangeable between the two pistols.
If I got the 49 and switched to CC basically a Glock 19 would that be possible and legal?

I hear the road will be closed at Hanauma Bay this Sunday from 6:15 am to 8:00 am. I remember pre Covid the road was closed on both sides of the range entrance.

Reloading / Re: Old Bullseye powder
« on: August 30, 2024, 06:35:33 PM »Does make sense. Usually your step the powder up a little when using lighter bullet for more velocity. One could stay within safer pressure with a lighter projectile and achieve higher velocityYep, my limited handgun reloading experience with published load data is less grains bullet, more grains powder.

Firearms and Accessories / Re: Anyone do hot bluing for firearms?
« on: August 02, 2024, 09:45:53 PM »
The bluing process, like chrome plating, electro polishing and anodizing, which services were available on this island, required large tanks of chemicals. When the EPA got strict on disposing of these chemicals, the chemicals had to be shipped to the mainland for disposal. That is expensive, so no more chrome plating, electropolishing, anodizing and I guess bluing shops on the island. I'm not sure how those businesses were disposing of the chemicals before the EPA stepped in, but it probably wasn't environmentally friendly.

General Discussion / Re: Private Pistol Firearm Transfer- NO FFL
« on: March 13, 2024, 09:47:31 PM »Is a 4473 required?No.
Go to HPD, apply for PTA with gun information and sellers name, address and phone number. If you can provide a copy of the registration, that would help but not necessary. Pick up permit in two weeks(?), acquire gun and return to HPD in person to register.

Legal and Activism / Re: 2024 Hawaii gun legislation! YOU need to read this
« on: March 11, 2024, 06:26:17 PM »I'm just trying to see if you meant what I think you meant and just jumbled the two phrases up.I knew what you meant and I also thought he meant what you thought he meant.
Unless would go with "will not be beneficial", and If would go with "will be beneficial".
Never mind. Range too far. Barrel too hot. Nuance too objective. Grammar too flexible....

Law enforcement exempt. When you submit written testimony the link to the bill is on the same page.

Yes it is legal to ship the upper receiver to Hawaii directly to you. The lower receiver would require an FFL.

« on: February 04, 2024, 08:11:52 AM »Power Valley has 714 8-pound jugs of Varget in stock . . . $389.00 each before freight & hazmat.One hundred pounds of powder to Hawaii has a flat rate $450.00 freight / Hazmat fee. One 8 pound jug of Varget would be $425.99 landed. So is $53.25 / pound of Varget (x 8 for the jug) reasonable?
