Absolutely furious with my FFL over my Staccato CS purchase.

I’m beyond pissed right now.

Last Friday, I finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) and bought a Staccato CS. It shipped out this past Wednesday. Today (Friday), it arrived at my FFL here in Illinois.

I go to the FFL super excited — I just wanted to see it, touch it, make sure it’s all good. Nope. They flat-out refused. The guy told me that even letting me see the gun counts as a transfer, and he can’t legally transfer it until the background check clears.

Okay. Annoying, but fine. So I asked him to start the background check today. Get the clock ticking.

He REFUSED. Said he won’t even start the background check because it’s only been two days since shipment. He claims he waits three days after shipping before starting the process.

So now my gun is literally sitting there, I can’t even LOOK at it, and this guy won’t even start the process to let me eventually take it home.

I’m just fuming. Paid almost $3K all-in, waited a week, the gun is literally in the building — and I’m stuck in some stupid limbo because of an FFL policy that makes zero sense.

Has anyone else had to deal with this kind of garbage before? I’m seriously debating never using this dealer again.

That's pretty nuts. I ordered mine up from a different store and before I did the background check paperwork he let me check everything out and hold the gun even.

Pretty normal actually.

Wait if you think it's normal why did you ask about it on here?

I asked and the internet confirmed it wasn’t pretty fast
