Now to wait for that plastic card and my PTA, I have a Ruger Mk IV Hunter waiting at the dealer so it looks like I'll have it by the time the ranges open.
That was a long wait, the pistol process started on 4th June 2019 when I submitted my QP515 at the local police station, lets see if I can get the plastic license card in under a year, it will be close...

I use Shooters Delight in Underwood, Brisbane, they don't have any storage charges for new purchases if they have to hold them while you wait for licensing, the benefit to them is they get the sale and they get it early.
With everything slowing down due to restrictions I'm expecting the card in about 3 weeks but as long as it arrives before my pistol club opens I'll be happy, my PTA should come through in that time too, those are being processed very quickly at the moment (probably because hardly anyone is looking at licensing)

Great news, people are reporting about 2 weeks for A/B cards to arrive so hopefully not too much longer.
Do you have a PTA in progress too? I submitted one in early Feb, still heard nothing about that, ranges might be opening in 2 weeks so there's still plenty of time.

I suspect a good number are working on license renewals but fewer than usual on new A/B licenses and almost nobody on Cat H licenses or PTAs.
