3.5 months for me.

Several mentioned a P365. Too small for me although Im sure its very light and comfortable. I prefer something in the subcompact range. A little larger but still concealable for me. Some in that category would be the HK VP9 SK, CZ P10S , Canik TP9 Elite SC. Many mentioned a glock 19 which is a tad too big for me to carry. The three I mentioned have basically the same length barrel as the sig P365 but a little longer grip.  Also a little wider so it makes it easier for me to shoot.

In the end, I would suggest picking something that is the largest you can carry while still concealing well and comfortably.

Note: of the three I mentioned the first one is the most expensive, but also very high-quality, the second and third one are more affordable options. The Canik you can get for a very good deal and it has a great trigger thats better than many more expensive guns.

Submitted in March. Just got my approval letter today. 

The amount of time taking to process the ccw apps is reprehensible. Isnt that kind of delay a 2A violation in of itself?  Are there any lawsuits being filed against HPD?

Is the link still active?

A wrench got thrown into this lawsuit.  This is the Abbot vs. Lopez (formerly Shikada, Connors Hawaii Attorney Generals) lawsuit about 10rd pistol magazine capacity.  This lawsuit was filed before the Bruen ruling.  Now since HI has to prove historical tradition, they are getting help from CA historians.  This was an unforeseen expense.  So now HIFICO's attorneys have to hire their own historian to rebut what HI is trying to use to justify the mag ban as history and tradition.

With this being said, the bill is already in the thousands.

Use the link below to donate as much as you're willing to.  Even if you don't have a handgun, this lawsuit would represent another anti 2nd amendment law being struck down if we win it.  HI also tries to apply this to rifle magazines every few years.  So a win for this would mean they cannot apply it to rifles in the future.

Anything helps, even if you can only afford to donate $5; but more is better.

My friend went on MOnday.  Took him 4 hours for his PTA.  Also he prefilled the paperwork that's on the HPD website. He had to re do all of them in person as those are not the updated forms.  Had about 8 people infront of him.

This is his first gun, so I told him "welcome to the HPD screwing you club".

I went in Tuesday to apply for a PTA. 2 people in the line. Waited about 15 mins. Then submitting the forms took less than 10. I pre filled the forms from the hpd website.  Fairly painless.

Heard already had an AD at a class.

Just wanted to provide my 2 cents and my personal experiences:

1). I have used GUN Broker in the past.  BUT lately, when comparing CC fees, Shipping cost, and FFL Transfer fees, I have found "A" LGS that offers me the SAME price or lower.  If not in stock or incoming they have brought in what i wanted.
2). MY LGS provides Excellent Customer Service.

i Think knowing the "RETAIL" List price, and going market place will drive who you use!  And how soon you need or want the gun.

Keep Safe!

Can you share which LGS you like to use?
