After months of crickets requesting
CZ Forum feedback on suppressor suggestions for
Ultimate Bedroom Gun (UBG)
http://www.czforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5271.msg23327#msg23327https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=98302.msg758495#msg758495-I had occasion to make a
SigForum post
http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/920601935/m/4300054644regarding a
PappaWheelie Invisible holster for PeachBoy son's new P365 with which he'd replaced his Kahr PM9 for concealed carry,
and decided to ask for input there on the
Surefire Ryder 9 Ti suppressor I'd finally chosen
http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/380105858/m/2960084644?r=2960084644#2960084644-and was surprised to receive almost immediate positive feedback.
I then ordered the suppressor (with wifey concurrence: happy wife, happy life) from
Silencer Shop because of their evidently advanced and user-friendly ATF compliance processes. This blog will document, for interested parties to follow, the ease with which
Silencer Shop has managed the documentation complexities, and the lead time after document submission I'll experience enroute to legal possession of this "dangerous" accessory.
Not many days after finding and purchasing the
Ryder 9 Ti from
Silencer Shop, I'm in receipt of an email "Single Shot Trust For Your Records: SF RYDER 9-TI A56N03382 TRUST" with three attached files:
1.) SF RYDER 9-TI A56N03382 TRUST - This is the signed trust document
2.) User Guide.pdf - Instructions for using the trust and amendments
3.) Addendums.zip
-Appointment of Supporting Trustee.pdf
-Acceptance of Supporting Trustee.pdf
-Form to Remove Supporting Trustee.pdf
-Acceptance of Termination of Appointment.pdf
The prognosticated lead times are given on their website
https://www.silencershop.com under "ATF Wait Times":
https://www.silencershop.com/atf-wait-times/ -and since clarified as currently running approximately 8 months.
I've counted 18 "keeping you posted" type emails in all throughout the process, which started simply with the purchase, and then: Order Confirmation, Package Shipped, Status Update (7X), Document Requiring Signature(s) for ATF Submission, Completed: Document Requiring Signature(s), all with "Your Chosen Dealer" a constant in the process.
I chose the $24.95
Single Shot NFA Gun Trust as most appropriate for my needs, and the above 18 emails included my flubbing of the "electronic signature" part of the process and having to ask for a reset of the DocuSign.com ATF form. The process requires using a left-clicked mouse to "draw" ones signature in a signature field, with option to cancel and retry until satisfied. I accidentally clicked Accept instead of Cancel at one point in the effort to produce a credible likeness of my actual signature, which drove the need to ask for a mulligan. In hindsight, I recommend having an actual signature in view and proceeding very slowly for the sake of "accuracy" in that the process is capable of generating pretty unbelievably UNrealistic scribbles.
There are basically four categories of information that are required;

Paper Fingerprinting Packet narrows it to three by supplying, via the required fingerprint card information entries, all of the "transfer information" but County, which can be supplied via email in answer to their proactive email query. The Paper Fingerprinting Packet is two snail-mailed cards that you take to your local Sheriff or Police Department to obtain "old fashioned" ink fingerprints after filling in the ATF-required information fields. It comes with a postage-paid pre-addressed mailer, making it impossible to further simplify. This was an attractive (over the gun shop kiosk method) option in that my "Chosen Dealer" is almost 90 miles away, and gasoline is no longer $0.25/gallon as it was in my "yout."
The "passport-style photo" is defined as (if I correctly recall) a roughly 2" X 2" (~720 X 720 pixel) white background selfie that in my case took a bit of fussing to produce as a .png via my
MacBook Pro's top-of-screen camera.
Silencer Shop has proven both diligent and user-friendly; my documents were submitted to ATF October 1st; the process is expected to culminate in ~6-8 months per

https://www.silencershop.com/atf-wait-times/I feel very "taken care of" as a customer of
Silencer Shop. Future posts will document ATF lead time realities.
