What’s the quickest in-and-out DROS experience you’ve had at a store?

Corona Turners is a rare bird! I used to use them regularly. The other party would always be weary when I said Turners, but the Corona location has always been quick. Haven’t used them in a while though so I can’t attest to how they are now. Although, by your account, sounds like they’re still solid.

Recently, over the past 5 years, 2A Zone Riverside has been insanely quick. Josh had me in and out on a pick up in probably 5 minutes flat the other day. PPTs are usually 15-20 regularly. Brett has solid teams at both locations, but Josh always knows how to take care of me in Riverside.

I’ve done a few PPTs at Get Loaded in Grand Terrace, and they’ve been just as quick. They’re a little less known, so chances of getting in without a crowd is usually pretty good.

Patriotic Arms in Canyon Lake has also done me well on a few PPTs. Again, smaller shop with less people
I walked into corona turners for a ppt an hour before closing and got turned away! Felt bad the dude flew in from vacation (all same day) to lax, then drove to long beach to pick up his truck and met me in corona at turners during peak traffic and the lady at the sales desk immediately told us nope ppt’s take too long, then proceeded to complain to me about how she shouldnt even have been working and she only makes $17 an hour so she didnt care if i got helped… Only help she offered was to give us the address of a different ffl! I dont see myself using turners again after that.
 
Riflegear last week was about 20~25 minutes once we got to our place in line. We met up on a weekend so that was on us. Once they got to our #, it was fast and easy.

Took the money on the PPT as a downpayment towards my own purchase and that was a 2nd fast 20~25 minutes for me.

Both would have been quicker but the counter guy seemed a bit new and kept asking to have his work checked. Can't / won't argue with that.
 
If you ever come down to Menifee area, go check out Patriotic Arms. I did 100+ transactions there, the quickest one was 6m5-6mins with an average of no longer than 15mins
