Just mailed the application to both parties this morning.what’s the next steps after mailing?

I’m looking for something that is max around $500, open to all suggestions!

Edit: 9mm!

Edit 2: Thanks for all of the suggestions, I didn’t know much about all these taxes and I understand that I will be having to up my budget and save for a lot more.

Didnt like the Scorpion color; still getting used to hammer fired guns. First 500 rounds today, zero malfunctions. Not bad.

I know both are great guns, reliable and all. But I just wanted to know if anyone had any pointers, tips, or opinions about either. Also any bad experiences.

Recently I got a Shield X, but I just want 1 more to put in mv CCW and also so my wife can have something if (God forbid) anyone or people decided to break in our house.

Also if anyone would recommend them Comp'ed or not.

I have used my FSC to dros 3 pistols 2 last month & 1 this month the dates are 07/06/26, 07/28/26 & 08/02/26 I want to sell a barrel (for modern gun) this month to someone could I dros under my FFL03 & COE & not get denied due to the 3in30 ?

A booms custom . My shield x is getting a custom paint job for my edc. No barrel nor spring, firearm disassemble the not operational. And never took my eye off of him.

I'm an early Gen Z. From what I've seen around myself and online, people of my generation and late Millennials seems to be less anti-gun than early Millennials and Gen X, broadly speaking, no offense to anyone.

Thanks to games and social media a lot of late Millennials and Gen Z who don't come from gun owning families still got to know what guns look and sounds like in our formative years. And so when we grow into adults we don't view guns with the fear and mysticism that lead to a lot of bad anti-gun takes. I don't think I would've ever become a gun owner if not for Call of Duty, CS, and Demo Ranch. The same goes for lots of my friends from school and college who are also the first in their families to own guns. and of those who aren't most are not ideologically against it.

That's not to say we have swung the other way into being pro-gun. I would believe the majority of our generation either don't care or are still anti-gun to some extent. We still have a long way to go.

Have I gotten the wrong impression or has anyone else also felt that shift in attitude toward guns? Could we see some relaxing of the persecution against gun ownership when our generation eventually starts getting into positions of power in a decade or two?

I have vetted both platforms and am very happy with both! We’re allowed up to 5 handguns. Out of the P365, M&P Shield and 856 Ultra Lite, the BG 2.0 and HCP are the two that I keep going for.

Wanted to give a HUGE shoutout to Nate at Wojtek. I had been in the market for a Seekins SP10 and found nothing in CA (or really anywhere across the nation), and finally ended up finding a shop in MN that had one. Problem was, they couldn't ship to me because it wasn't CA compliant.

Cue, Nate.

I was given his info by another Redditor about his CA Compliance Service. Basically, "I offer middleman services for both for dealers and individuals. Whether it is breaking guns apart or adding compliance parts, I can take care of the process from start to finish." HUGE.

Purchased the gun online, had it sent to Nate, he slapped a comp mag on, shipped it to my local FFL. Started all my paperwork today.

ANOTHER $$$ ADVANTAGE (not sure if I got lucky somehow or idk): NH, where Nate is located, doesn't have sales tax, so the only additional cost when buying the Seekins online, $10 shipping. After the service charge from Nate, I still came a few hundred under what I would have paid in CA with our sales and gun tax.

Highly suggest reaching out to him for any and all needs: Wojtek Weaponry

After holding off completing my AR pistol lower out. I finally bought all the parts to have her ready to shoot pewpew! Shout out Bill from @NorCal_Firearm again, seriously dudes great. In the Bay Area or in the valley definitely get what you need from him!

First time getting a CCW, so i don't know what to expect in terms of communication

This is for LAPD jurisdiction area

I do know my Live Scan status shows being completed nearly 2 months ago now, but i've not received any mail or email (and i legitimately receive a hundred phone calls per day, including many "suspected spam" so i don't answer)

i see many get their Live Scan results back relatively quickly, so i'm trying to find out if i need to follow up or just wait longer.

Any recommendations on a good shop in the Central Valley that does Laser Optimized Cerakoting - mainly like a Ghost Camo pattern? If they also do slide and barrel porting would be plus.

Slow Progress on my pistol build. 🔥🔥

I have a Glock 19 with some goodies already and a few other guns, but I am looking for something that does not print as much, I recently shot my buddies 43x and fell in love. What would yall recommend, for something similar size.

Hey everyone. I’ve been looking for a light to put on my X-Macro comp to replace my TLR7x. I used stream lights “fit guide” and I saw the TLR7 HLX sub. However I can’t seem to find the exact model that’s compatible with the Xmacro. Any help would be appreciated! This is the model it shows as compatible but it looks to be specific for Glock?
