I got the plastic TODAY!!!!! 24 day to get my PIN form DPS getting my appication. 70 total days until "Application complete...Issued or active...". 74 days total for plastic in hand. Used regular USPS, sent a cashiers check with the application, and had NO bumps along the way.

If that were true, my great great grandchildren would be waiting for MY plastic

I think the guys and gals at the CHL office in Austin work like any office. You have your group of "do the minimum to stay out of trouble", and you have your "above and beyond the call of duty" people. I am starting to think this is what is happenening to all of us based on the review of posts. Kudos to those who got the over acheivers working on all stages (data entry/background check/plastic) of their plastic. Not sure where I fall seeing as my PIN was ready 25 days after they got my application, and as of today am 41 days in the "processing application" catagory for a total of 66 days.

I am glad I am not the only one here feeling as if the clock slowed WAAAAAYYY down when I mailed my application. And yes, I do have to resist the very big urge not to check my status on the hour. Guilty as charged on that one, but in my busy practice, what else have I got to clear my mind between patients. So, I check.

I have a cowboy hat with a insert for my Sringfield Armory 1911. Hey, no coments on my big head. Flattery will only allow me to put two 1911's in my hat. Stay alive with a 45

I plan on a leg carry holster for my Glock 30 in 45 acp as well. Not gonna catch this Texan on the short end of a gun fight.
