I've known a couple of folks who never had them returned from evidence after guns were recovered which had been stolen. The police lost them somehow ..
I heard a story that back in the day in Mississippi, if an officer lost a firearm that was in evidence, they were docked something like $20 from their paycheck, which essentially let them buy guns from evidence for $20, and during that time, NOBODY got their stuff back once it was "evidence".
Probably depends on the Sheriff's office if you get one back or not.
Gun crime against me got the rifle returned after the trial and appeal.
Took a couple of years.
Gun stolen from me and recovered a year later in Nebraska in a truckers cab was returned pretty quick.
I don't believe there is a set rule of return.

I used an old S&W model 36 back in the early 80s to defend myself after a bad guy "Attempted" to rob me. The police confiscated it for "evidence" I am starting to think I will never get it back. (it's been over 30 years)
I had a Model 60 stolen in Dallas, '95. Was notified 2 weeks later, it was recovered when hood rat was caught robbing a 7-11 and it was being in evidence, would be returned after trial.
DA notified me they were going to trial, almost a year later. 3 days and trial is over. Call Dallas PD the next day and my M60 cannot be found. I'm still waiting.
On the other hand, my buddy had a Blackhawk .357 stolen. 7 years later, He received a call from a PD in Kommiefornia saying they had recovered the gun. Asked if he wanted back and shipped it.
