I seem to be delayed whenever I purchase anything.
I have a CCW in my state to avoid delays but obviously that don’t work with the feds.
 Has anyone gotten a UPIN to combat this? Did it help or not?

It must help...it's listed on both the Form 1 and Form 4.  If it didn't matter, it wouldn't be on the form.

My cousin has one, it has helped in his case.

Unfortunately, the number of felons in our extended family hasn't left us untouched.

I've been meaning to get one assigned for some time now. I can't count the number of delays that I've had over the past 20+ years.

Short answer. Yes, absolutely.

Yes, it helps!  Took forever to finally get it though.

In most states having a CCW / CHL license allow a holder to bypass the Federal NICS B.S.

It bypasses the NICS for Title 1 transfers, but this is the NFA forum where OP is concerned his background check will be put in "Delay" status and hold up a quick processing of his NFA transfer application.

Not sure it has helped in my case.  I have a UPIN, state CCL, work .gov email, (1) RP trust no arrests, and still no dice.  I'm over 200 days on two form 4s right now.  One of my last ones was over a year.

While it will help the FBI clear you faster, your F1's and F4's will still not come back in a few days because someone at the FBI has to put eyes-on your particular BGC.  The only ones the ATF processes quickly are the instant proceeds.

I've had a UPIN for years. I still get delayed on every 4473 and sometimes on Form 1's in my current state of residence. I recently checked the status on two Form 1's from November of 2023 and they were in a NICS delayed status. Contacted the nics liaison email and had it approved in 12 hours, although they approved 1 of 2 correct control numbers that I had requested.

I used to live in a state where the CCW gave me the automatic proceed on 4473's. I don't think I ever got delayed on any NICS stuff for NFA items though.

I have a UPIN and it doesn’t do jack shit to speed anything up. Last suppressor still took over a year. And I use my social. And I have an extremely unique last name.
N O N E of it matters. ATF is stupid and so is the FBI with their NICS bullshit delays.

I'm interested in knowing if a UPIN helps or not.

I know that things are different with NFA stuff. I have had my UPIN for years and my regular NICS checks usually go through instantly. The last time I had an hour delay was in 2020.

I was curious since my NICS checks for Title 1 firearms goes through instantly in most cases when done on a computer.
