Pretty much only two 2 that I prefer to use...

One FFL is a bit of a drive for me, he's got a low transfer fee and usually calls me to pick up a day or two after an order arrives...

The other FFL is much closer to me, a little more expensive but always schedules me another week out, for pickup.

Come on already, been waiting long enough for it, I want to go shooting NOW.

Mine is close by, calls either the same day my purchases arrive, or the following business day, ready to go. Also has had the lowest transfer fees in my area. However he plans to retire this year, dunno if he's going to have a buyer for his business or just shut it down.

Got a local one who is quite good. Reasonable and quick

In Oregon the last NICS check took a bit over 3 weeks. That was with 3,500+ applications in front of me. I was in the gun store last week and overheard the clerk told a buyer that there were over 6,000 in front of him. But my first in 3 purchases in Oregon only took a few minutes on the phone...

If I call ahead the process can start as soon as I get there. Depends on how busy they are though.

Once started probably five to ten minutes to finish.

I have a CCL.

The LGS isn't the problem ... it's the time taken for the background check.

 

[Zack856]

Sometimes 10 minutes sometimes a couple days. Has nothing to do with the lgs though. They just press send.

 

[RogueTS1]

Immediately. Once the firearm arrives he calls/emails us. We go to store and withing 5 minutes are walking out the door. Background check is nearly immediate.

"Whether you're looking to get a good CCW or put something else in the gun safe, it's a benefit of having a concealed carry license. That is, if you live in an applicable state."

Texas is an applicable state. But it varies by state.

I have a friend in town that operates out of his home. I’ve ordered my last few purchases sent to him. He calls me when he receives them. I go over, we drink coffee and tell stories, check over the firearm, fill out the 4473 and I’m on my way. No background check with my LTC and he charges $10.
So it can go as fast as I want it to be.

Here in PA, it usually takes seven to ten minutes, and depending on the shop and your connection to the dealer, may be as low as $10.00, but some jackwagons charge as much as $50.00. Of course, call ahead and see what their rate is. Average is $20-30 around here.

I used to go to an FFL that never called me when my deliveries were in. I had a suppressor sit there for 2 months and they never called.

My current FFL emails me right away when something comes in and I'm usually out the door in 10 minutes or so. Most of the time is me filling out the stupid form. Why they can't pull up my previous answers is beyond me. The only time I have to wait longer is if they are busy and it takes a few minutes for one of the counter guys to get free.

I've never had an NICS check take more than 2 minutes. They're usually done in under a minute.

 

[BC605]

7-10 days, because that is how long it takes for the mandatory background check.

 

[MentalClutter]

I recently bought a G2C and had it sent to my local FFL. They asked that once tracking showed it had been delivered to give them until the next day to pick it up. I have seen them get pallets of merchandise and guns and so can understand them wanting to get things in order before processing a firearm purchase.

My entire time in filling out the form, giving over my ID, and paying the transfer fee is about ten minutes. This includes the time to run the background check. They do charge $40.00 for transfer, which is high, but I go along with it for the convenience. The next nearest FFL is another county away and they charge almost as much.

The Fella who owns the LGS down here is a personal Friend of mine, and his shop is only a mile or so from the house. I have everything shipped to his shop. He normally texts me within an hour of receiving my item(s)!
I usually can get in/out within a couple of minutes, but it NEVER goes that way, because we end up 'jackin' jaws' for a while, most times an hour or more!

Kentucky recognizes the Exemption above ^^^, which makes it really quick and easy for me! He charges me $10, more than fair as far as I'm concerned!

 

[funflyer]

I ship to a local pawn store and won't ever use anyone else. They charge $20 and typically call me within 30 minutes after the firearm arrives.

That is true - UNLESS your state laws say something else.
It used to be that way here in Washington, and still is for shotguns, bolt guns, and lever guns.
For SA rifles and pistols we have a STATE background check now, and that is done by the sheriff's office in the county of purchase. That is what takes 7-10 days.

Yeah...my son is stationed at Lewis-McChord at Tacoma...from what I understand even used gun, private purchases must go through an FFL.

That sounds like an...infringement.
