I've got a pistol in my pocket.


Have faith. Yours will arrive soon.

Wow, that seems like a long time. Mine said mailed on August 27, didn't get postmarked until August 31, and was received on 9/2...

Had a feeling that today was the day, so... headed home early from work, and... Plastic!

No mail Monday... It's a holiday.

I got no mail yesterday, at all. Neither did my next door neighbors. I wonder if our mail carrier took the day off... Hopefully, it'll be there today.

Congratulations! Do you live next door to DPS? Mine "mailed" three days before yours, but still hasn't arrived...

Still waiting on the mail. I think we need to bring back the Pony Express...

I took the class first and then completed the application at a later date. Does anyone know if this could be a reason why my background and fingerprints are taking so long? I've noticed that some members on this forum completed the application first. I know I have 60 days, but it is a little depressing to see guys with a turn around of two weeks or less.

I don't think the class timing is the problem. I took the class in February and didn't apply until August. My BG check was done in about a week. Have you tried calling them to check on the hold-up?

August 26 2011 - ordered a SIG 238-TGL laser for my SIG P238 with Hogue grip and a Sneaky Pete Holster... Gotta get some Federal Hydra-Shoks too.... Oh yeah the wait is on...

Probably should have placed that order a little earlier... Looks like your plastic will hit the mail Monday, then you'll be waiting on the laser.

I was thinking about getting one for my 238 as well. Trying to decide between Sig's and the Crimson Trace. Be sure to post how you like it.

Shouldn't be long now.

Congrats....you do know that they mail the IDPA shooters CHLs out first right?

Haha... Yeah, that gives you guys time to hide and draw, and then, when my plastic arrives three days later, we're both on target at about the same time...

Got an update at some point between 1:00 a.m. last night and 8:15 this morning...

@pogiboi: You're probably still a couple days away. Mine took about 9 days from mailing to first update.

By the way... I'll be carrying a Sig P238. Still trying to decide on method. I've got the Sig OWB holster, as well as the Sig pocket holster. I'll probably go with the pocket carry, as my business attire leans toward Dockers-style pants, and dress shirt.
