I know everyone in here is more than well aware of the ridiculously fast approval times. But I went to my local store at lunch yesterday and filed my form 4. Got an email this afternoon that it was approved. Looked at the time stamps, and application received to approval was 24 hours, 57 minutes.
I didn't think it would be THAT fast. This could get very dangerous to my wallet. |

Not everyone gets the super fast approval, I'm at 5 weeks on one and two weeks on another. Got a couple approvals earlier this year and they were at 2 and 3.5 months. I did think that was super fast at the time.

I just ordered a new can today. I'll see how fast it is when CA does my Form 4 next week. 24 hours is insane after every can I ordered last year took 6 months plus or minus a few days.

Day 12, for me... Had 2 different friends that certified the same day both get approvals in 2 days... I get to wait. One of those was a first time buyer. This makes #12 for me. No rhyme or reason. Just is what it is. Maybe the wait won't be too much longer... We shall see...

I submitted a form four at 13:00 on Wednesday. Now I'm anxiously waiting to see how quick it comes back. Funny how it's never fast enough. I've had several year plus approval times and a sub sixty day batch approval. Here I am today watching the clock after three days.

I had one earlier in the month, through Capitol Armory. Nine days from certification to approval.
I'm still waiting for three more at the LGS. Submitted on the 23rd. All individual. Just had the last form 3 from an order I placed on the 3rd approved, and the suppressor shipped to my dealer today. |

Dead Air Wolverine Submitted: 3/8 Approved: 3/12 Surefire RC3 Submitted: 3/13 Approved: 3/18 Surefire SB2 FDE Submitted: 3/22 Approved: 3/27 Silencer Shop (in stock at dealer, no F3 needed) Dead Air Wolfman Submitted: 3/14 Approved: Still Waiting There do not seem to be many approvals from the week of 3/11 yet, at least through SS. There was an eforms outage that week and some are speculating that it might have sidetracked submissions for that week. Otter Creek OCM5 F3 took 2 weeks to the day (3/15 - 3/29) and should be at my LGS to certify this week. I might end up having the OCM5 faster than the Wolfman if we don't start seeing more week of 3/11 approvals. |

I finally got a 2 dayer. Cert. on Monday around 1:40 PM, just got approval today (Wednesday) at 8:00 AM. Around 1 day 18 hrs.?
 Most of mine have been a week. And it takes longer for the Form 3 transfer to my FFL than to get my approval. This is probably my last can, as this will be my 6th in a month and a half. Mostly sub-gun cans. |
