Intrafamiliar transfer

I'm in California, father's in Arizona. He would like to gift me some handguns that I can't otherwise get here except in an expensive PPT: VP9, G43, other Gen4 Glocks, non-LCI Sigs, etc. Nice dad!

Yeah, I've read hundreds of threads but I'm not finding a complete but concise set of answers to my questions and I suspect an "oops!" could be horrific:
* New vs. Used: Do they need to be new or used to qualify? I suspect the answer is "whatever", but want to be sure.
* Process - Because he is out of state I believe this goes through an FFL, not the simpler form, and he can either bring them to a CA FFL or use an FFL in AZ who will send them to my CA FFL. Right? Perhaps Fedex/UPS to CA FFL?
* Quantity: He wants to gift me several handguns (estimate = $2K-$3K). Is this one transfer, one per month, forbidden, something else?
* Cost: Is this PPT-like in terms of regulated FFL pricing or do I need to carefully choose my CA FFL to ensure I don't get ripped off?
* FFL selection: Do they all know the process? Any things to watch out for? If special, any San Jose area recommendations? Should I contact the FFL first?
* Because it is legitimately a gift, does he need to pay for the FFL/other fees or can I?
* I am *not* planning on flipping - I'm a "never sold a gun" type - but is there a specific set of rules regarding that scenario?
* Any other helpful advice?

No, he's not going to adopt you - nice try. :-)

Cheers,
Bill
