Wait times Monroe 2021 and the "pistol permit playoff beard "
- Thread starter Jchrisls
- Start date
I carry mine Every. Single. Day. With the Plus model I am comfortable enough with the capacity that I rarely carry the G19 anymore and I am not quite sure what it is about the Shield but for me it shoots as well as bigger guns. I can group my Shield as tight at 10 yards as my P320 full size.

I shoot my shield better than my glock 23 with a 9mm conversion barrel. I got mine right before they released th plus model, so I've always been thinking about upgrading. I haven't yet, just because I like how mine shoots.
Plus will shoot the same. All dimensions are identical except for the middle of the grip which is swelled out ever so slightly, makes it just a little nicer in the hand actually, emphasis on "little". Texture is perfect, a bit less aggressive than the 2.0 but enough to keep everything anchored. Mag release is slightly extended, now metallic and has an extremely aggressive stipple texture,, super easy to hit.
I have a 1.0, shot 2.0s and after having the Plus for a year I'd definitely say go for the upgrade if you have the spare dosh lying about.
10 rounds in a flush mag gives me great comfort. Makes me feel like I have enough on tap in the event of a multiple attacker situation, to say nothing of the two 13 round spares I carry in the offside pouch AAANNDD the 10 round mags actually seem to be available now! They ams expensive however. I have three apiece 10 rounders and 13 rounders.

Congrats, be safe, have fun, don’t go broke and piss off the wife
Congratulations.
Just remember this the next time some ignorant tool spouts off that it's too easy to buy a gun (lol right like you'll ever forget this process).
If you think this is exciting just Wait until you carry for the first time what that feels like.
(Not to sound cliche, but with the way the world is going you didn't get this a moment too soon either)
Don't discount the idea of buying a .22lr pistol either as a supplement for your 9mm. I'm going to buy one as my next gun. They're stupid fun and affordable to shoot and train with. I can shoot that much more often than 9mm.
I'm sure someone has already said so, but when you go to firing pin, ask questions. Handle and fondle as many pistols as you can. Really compare different models and manufacturers. See what feels good in your hand and what points well for you. Rent some ones you like and compare how you like shooting them.

There's a company that makes a kit to modify the mags of the 1.0 to hold a couple extra rounds. I think you can get 10 in the 8 round mag with it.

Anyone want to take a guess at wait times now?
For the permit? Too long.
To register a new firearm via appointment in monroe?
Earliest is mid July.

Shield 1.0 8 round mags. Back in February I loaded up 5 mags and let em rip. RSO gave me the stink eye. The range session felt fluid and instinctive.Welp, it was 9, but close
After going through this process, I completely understand you point, more than I ever care to know again in the future

Per dwa12479 and assuming he's Monroe County, he walked right in to the clerk's office and got it done that day.
I did mine by mail, it took 6 days. Next time I buy, I'm going to try in person first.
You can, but my understanding is n appointments is still needed to do the transaction. If going by the appointment schedule ( checked earlier this week) the next available is mid July.
Aside, today actually marks 9 months officially per calendar date for me. Glad its nearly over. How long from letter to permit again? Additionally, did you're letter mention anything regarding restrictions? And mine didn't have a reference number on it. You mentioned yours did?

No, I'm thinking there will be a huge line for new permits . Think of the number of people in NYC alone that can apply now. Think of the resources it will take to do the criminal, mental, reference checks on a few hundred thousand people.
That is what I did as well. I visited a brother down in Texas and we went to a range. I tried out a number of pistols and rifles. I was originally thinking about a Beretta but at the range it was a little too big for my hands. I ultimately went with the Glock 19 as my first. Have fun!

It took just shy of 3 weeks for the plastic to come. My letter contained the subject heading:
Re: Pistol Permit Approval
Pistol Permit #XXXX-XX
The letter made no mention of restrictions and my permit states 'none' under the restrictions field on my card. I assume the reason you gave on your application was 'self-defense' or 'personal protection' and hopefully nothing else? IMO that is all that one should list. I think some judges use phrases like "protect my home", or "recreational shooting" or "hunting", etc. as excuses to impose restrictions, eg. NYSRPA vs. Bruen. I hope the SC ruling invalidates those restrictions not by choice.
My guess is the difference in particulars is probably because our approvals came from different judges. Very little about this process is standardized and it doesn't matter how granular you get; from the county level down to the specific judges. It just adds to the confusion, which IMO is by intent - I expect more of it in the future.
BTW, they recently changed the county website which used to have a prominent link to the pistol permit page, not any more. But per the PP page:
If you are mailing in or dropping off your transaction: Upon review and acceptance of these documents, a clerk will mail back an updated permit and a coupon. PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 14 BUSINESS DAYS FOR THIS PROCESS TO OCCUR. Do not contact us about the status until it has been at least 14 business days as your call or email will not be returned.
By the time you actually have everything you need to submit the amendment the appointment schedule will be well into August. I suggest you do it by mail rather than waiting another 3 weeks to get an appointment. I did it by mail, I had my coupons in 6 days - besides, you really enjoy anticipating the mail, right?
I may test the 'walk-in' waters soon. I have a Pietta black powder I got from Cabela's years ago that I'd like to add. At worst they'll just turn me away and tell me to mail it or make an appointment.

So with the SC ruling and Monroe now in a tizzy as reported in the news last Thursday, specifically the county clerk, I wonder if this will delay delivery of my permit mailing as they await guidance from NYS. God I hope not. They say timing is everything....guess I was right about my permit and the ruling.
My timing? Impeccably bad lol

I don't see any reason for a delay, you already received your approval from a recognized county judge, I think you're in a good position. The statement from the clerk's office said all current applications are in good standing; my read is that they will process those as normal. I would guess the permits affected are those with judge-imposed restrictions, everything else should be business as usual. If they gave me unrestricted, there's plenty of hope for you.

when you get it .. go back and ask for all your money back .. poll tax ..
I hope so. There is nothing in my past that would cause alarm, and asked for an unrestricted permit from the outset. One would assume ( hopefully anyway) they would abide by that request and either approve or deny the permit within that framework and based upon my understanding of monroe, its generally unrestricted or denied. If that path is the one followed, and knowing I've been approved, there shouldn't be a concern.
But the doubt remains until the card is in hand
