I have ordered two of them. The wait is a huge pain, but worth it when the holster comes. One of these days I am going to have to take a picture of my EDC SuperTuck versus the somewhat rare carry MiniTuck. The SuperTuck looks like it has been rode hard and put away wet...but then again, I did order the horsehide version. Regardless of how it looks, and I don't think the bad guy is really going to be focusing on the condition of my EDC holster, it is still an incredibly comfortable holster.

Good for you guys! Yes, it is amazing how the long wait becomes ok once the plastic is in hand and the gun is in holster.

RJ

I use a horsehide from CrossBreed that seems to minimize it. However! I have settled on a philosophy of benign neglect. If you are going to carry your EDC every day, then it is going to show wear no matter what you do. As far as I am concerned, it is the sign of a loved and trusted gun. It is not a showcase gun. You could wipe it down every day, and poke in the cracks and crevasses, but it is going to get older, quicker, than the guns sitting in your safe.

You might also want to check at work. Some people have had it show up there for some reason.

JMCruz,

Welcome to the forums, and thanks for the info. Now that you are here, kick off your shoes, grab a cold one, some popcorn, and sit back. Lots of good stuff here.

RJ

You get an update five days after mailing it? I think your prayers have already been answered.

Right back at you! Congrats!

Bluejay,

Welcome! Yes, we are a bunch of like-minded folk around here. We have all been through the miserable wait, whether it be two weeks, or six months. I think we are a pretty friendly bunch. There is a treasure trove of wisdom and knowledge here, just waiting for someone to mine it, or to add to it. We do get in the occassional argument, but it should be remembered that this is a "forum" where ideas are meant to be exchanged. Whether or not a discussion becomes completely unreasonable is usually the decision of one person who does not want to be civil...I try to not be that person!

Have fun, read deeply, practice often.

RJ

All of those guns are top-notch. I can only speak for the 3.8" 9mm compact since that is my EDC. I think it is absolutely wonderful. Have never had a glitch, FTE, FTF, or any other problem...except for the price of ammo.

RJ

Mine arrived May 16 and the first four are 0606xxxx...so about 30,000 since then?

I promise it will. It is an incredible feeling to get that envelope in the mail. No real fanfare, just a card attached to a thick sheet of paper. You put it in your wallet, put a gun on your hip, and you go legally where you could not go before. It is an awesome feeling to know your chances of survival, should it hit the fan, just went up. It is completely reassuring to know you have a new dimension of protection available to your family.

I know it is silly that we have to jump through hoops to be able to exercise our rights, but it is also kind of neat to know we can do what so many other people can not.

Background check and fingerprints have shown "under review" since 08/03/11 and 08/09/11 respectively.

They received your final materials on 8/3. It is happening quickly, just a little more patience.

RJ

Weird! Except for the fact that I have no orange shirts, that could be a picture of me from that angle. I wear similar shirts, hat, shorts, and leather flip-flops.

Is your right foot coming out of your shoe in that pic?
