I don't think so. Did you fill out the application, buy a gun and have an appointment.

When I did mine many moons ago they didn't, but with the sign of the times today who knows.

Good Luck! I remember when I went for my interview at Westchester County for a Pistol Permit many moons ago. I told the detective not to worry. I'm an Italian Boy from the Bronx. Weapon of choice is a Baseball Bat ! That's when times were different, he laughed.

I second Onsight Firearm Training.

I would think that a man with your good looks and full pockets would have many women fighting each other just to jump on it, LOL !!!

@togmaster, If covid-19 is less of a threat and we don't have to wear masks at Sig I may see you on the line there. I already attended Sig's Red Dot Fundamentals class with Dhillon almost 2 years ago. That's about the same time I last shot and trained with OFT. I need to get back into shooting...

Not a good idea. As said before it takes up too much space plus it adds a lot of weight to the safe depending on where the safe if located, eg. (2nd Fl.). Better off in a locked ammo can or a locked cabinet in a dark area at room temperature. I prefer plastic or wood over metal for these...

When I applied for my permit It was a 2 year wait. 1 year for the appointment and 1 year for the permit. I didn't want to take any chances so I bought a Ruger Mark III (22) and applied for a target permit. I received it in 3 months from the time of the interview. That was unheard of at the time.

@togmaster, Stand on Buoy 42 and clock the speed with a radar gun.

@Chevusa, Never tell anyone you were point shooting in a defensive situation.

@Chevusa Glock 17 has a longer sight radius which aids in accuracy. Glock 17 weighs more which helps with recoil management. Glock 17 hurts more if you have to rack the slide in his eye socket.

If you don't like Glocks get a Sig Sauer P320. They are comparable to Glocks but have a slightly higher bore axis. They are also available with night sights. I would stay away from the bigger calibers to start. Master 1 gun and 1 caliber before you move on...

I went to Hunter Sports in Massapequa 2 weeks ago. I know Mark and he is a very good friend of my brother. At that time he had 30 Glock 19's in stock. His website does not represent his actual inventory. https://www.huntersports.com/

@ikilledkenney, I would go with 1 at time. I don't think you will get the permit if you include the sales receipts for 3 guns with your permit application. Did you do the class with Ben like you said you were?

@ikilledkenny Glock 19 Gen 5 is a little more compact. It's the Chevy of handguns, not expensive and gets the job done. This is what the NYPD and YPD use to name a few. If you go with a Glock 19 Gen 5 make sure you get the latest one with front serration and no moon cutout on the grip. It also...

@ikilledkenny, She probably just wants to make sure you have all your ducks in line so when they start doing interviews there are no problems.

Glock Knuckle affects two different types of hands: those with thick fingers and those with long fingers. Both types of problem are a consequence of the low bore axis of the Glock pistols, the use of plastic as a frame and trigger guard material and how Glock have chosen to design round the...

@Chevusa, I have the AmeriGlo Bold night sights on 2 of my Glocks. They have a square edge that you can use to rack the slide but not sharp enough to cut you or your shirt. https://store.teamglock.com/gun-parts/slide-parts/sights-tools/glock-bold-sights-by-ameriglo-pkg.html

Westchester County Clerk’s Office Remains Closed to the Public Records and other matters accepted electronically or by USPS, UPS, or FedEx, or documents may be delivered to the County Clerk Dropbox in the lobby of the courthouse Pistol Licenses IMPORTANT NOTICE With the restrictions to access...

@Chevusa, It's Glock Sport Shooting Foundation If you are are a renewal or you join with a 2 year membership you are sent a coupon with your membership card allowing you to purchase a Glock at Blue Label prices. It also allows you to take the Glock armorers course.

I would think only the Bad Ones, along with the Bad Whites, Bad Hispanics, Etc.

First off, if you would of listened to togmaster and myself these questions would of been answered by Ben. I just scanned the handbook and found they took out Sportsperson. You can call the County Clerks office and ask if you can use the generic form and write in Sportsperson. If not, since it...

@Chevusa, The forum is to share information and help people. When I see a thread that I know something about I try to help by sharing my experiences.

@Chevusa, Not all Pistol Safety instructors are equal. Some are better than others. It's the support that counts. You want someone who really cares, goes the extra mile and who wants to see their students do well. I made a recommendation because for MANY YEARS I have trained with MANY...

@ikilledkenny, Not only does Onsight Firearms Training have a class for the Westchester County Pistol Permit they will guide and help you through the process. Once you obtain your handgun permit they also have all types of classes that will teach you how to be proficient with your new firearm.

Excellent !!!

I spoke to the Westchester County Clerk's office on Tuesday. She said although the office is still closed for walk ins some judges are working and are signing handgun permit amendments.

I'll take a shot at this. AK's are the Bad Guys guns. AR's are the Good Guys guns. We are the Good Guys. C.B.

I’ve trained with many instructors at many venues, but Ben and Rachael are among some of the best. When it comes to knowledge, know-how and teaching expertise, they are hard to beat. Not only will you sharpen your skills, but you’ll have fun doing it. I guarantee that you will not only love...

Are Glock Gen5's without the finger grooves causing less Glock Knuckle ? I know about undercutting the trigger guard but I was wondering by Glock removing the finger grooves does it help with this issue. Thanks in advance. C.B.

Xae289, Great minds think alike. I just sold a handgun and I will do the same. C.B

I'm looking to sell one handgun and buy another so before I do so I called the Westchester County Pistol Licensing Division office today to see what the timeline may be. I was told by one of the clerks that they would process the paperwork, cash the check and put it on one of the judge's desks...

Hi togmaster, Last year work was crazy at work so so I didn't get to shoot or train much. I was hoping to pick it back up this year but I guess Covid-19 has delayed that for a while. Hope to catch you at one of Ben's classes in the near future. Hey guys, Thanks for your responses so far. As you...

Ben, since you mentioned you prefer the green dot on the Holosun do you use BUIS. If so, suppressor, black or night sights ? Thanks in advance. C.B.

Yes, check other and write in restriction change. You should reread https://publicsafety.westchestergov.com/images/stories/pdfs/2018wcpdHandbook.pdf This will answer all your questions.

Emkay44, not rocket science. 1.) Fill out amendment you referenced and attach the bill of sale for the handgun you purchased. If you can walk it in, beats the USPS. If you are approved in 2 to 6 weeks you will get a coupon that you take to the gun store and give to him for your previously...

Technically you have a carry permit so if you had a holster you could carry it CONCEALED to the range. Since you are a newbie and a little worried I would carry it unloaded in a locked box out of your reach. The lock box could be the box the gun came in or a soft case. The ammo could be carried...

@C3D, NYS says you can, until he is 21 but Blue Mountain may not. They have gotten much stricter since there is a new chain of command at that park. They now ask if you have someone in the car as they must sign in with you because they want to know everyone who goes down to the ranges. I would...

Since you are a new shooter you may want to get some professional training. You can try Welcome to Onsight Firearms Training, LLC. He trains locally at the Blue Moutain police ranges a few times a month. I train with him at least once a month. If you have the time and money you may want to go to...

When you get up to the window look at the sign in sheet. If you see everyone checked pistol then maybe you want to pay for 2 hours, otherwise don't. Even though it's Saturday I doubt it will be crowded this time of year. I never ever paid for 2 two hours and never ever got chased. I shoot there...

@Emkay44, the pistol range is $11 an hour if you don't have a Westchester park pass. You can stay as long as you like as long as no-one is waiting. Target changes are about every half hour, they supply you with an NRA B-8 type target. If you have any of your own you can put them up over theirs.

@Emkay44, what gun are you running? The pistol range has 20 ports. 4 are 25 yards,15 are 15 yards and the #20 port is 7 yards.

@OnSight Firearms Training, Ha, Ha Ha !!!

Most of you guys missed the point. I'm talking about "Natural Point Of Aim" @Podmonkey, while gripping the gun in an unorthodox way you are taking the time to line up the sights. @Acer-m14, closing an eye just shifts the focus of the sights right or left. These things have nothing to do with...

I would hate to leave the Glock camp. I have a lot invested. Guns, mags, parts and tools. I would take a blood bath if I traded or sold all this stuff. So I guess I have to keep practicing until it comes naturally. Rep after Rep after Rep.

@HEX , I would have liked to read that. Here's one I found today. Autopistol Grip Angle

@GTN , what type of handgun ?

Nice !

If I remember correctly you shoot 1911's.
