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.
For the permit? Too long.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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

Rest assured heading out day 1 with a firearm believing I am now John Wick isn't going to happen. From the outset, way back in the beginning of this the plan all along has been my intention to rent several handguns with a trained instructor to learn and see what I shoot best. Then make the purchase. Then recieve further training. Then practice consistently. Then take a live fire defensive training class ( if available locally).......and then carry regularly. This is flexible, but prudent.
Monroe County applications do have the options to apply for concealed carry, possess on premises or possess/carry during employment. So it sounds like you're saying MC judge's don't impose their own restrictions, that's good to know. I would assume they still issue with those restrictions if they are specifically requested by the applicant, no? If so, maybe that is the guidance the clerk's office is waiting on.
My understanding is that NYS prohibits any firearms liability insurance to operate within the state. Wonder why......not.

That is exactly thier reasoning. They have endless funds ( ours) so it wouldn't be a fair fight. Liability insurance would somewhat level the playing field, and that goes against the politics of the state. That is all prefaced on the actual statistical chance being minimal that you will be involved in a self defense situation, but we try to mitigate our risks daily with fire extinguishers, auto and home owners insurance, renters insurance, smoke/co 2 detectors ECT. Many of which are mandatory by state laws. I'm not in any way shape or form saying liability insurance for a firearm should be mandated, but owners should be allowed the option to have it if they so choose.
It was a good rant.
I believe the application is from NYS, it's just processed by the counties. So they're the same for everyone. Restrictions are put on by judges in certain counties. Monroe is not one of them.
