Yeah that is going to have to wait an extra week though.
1. The Mrs is deployed to Ft Polk right now and isn't due back until next week and she would be the photographer.
2. I am still looking for the right weapon to carry. My Glock 22 is a tad large. I plan on heading to GTDist in Austin on Saturday.

I think I am going with a Kel-Tec PF9 with a Crimson Trace laser.

I am looking at an XD9 or xd40 subcompact. I might try and make my own sheath though.

I really want the Kimber in .45 but that is a lot of money. I like my Glock 22 and have a lot of .40 ammo. It is kind of making sense to me to go with the Glock 27 or Glock 23 and a Crossbreed supertuck holster. I just spent the last several hours looking at all the photos of what others are carrying. Now my keyboard is all soggy from the drool.

Congrats Wfahey. I am still waiting on another update. I may see you Saturday at GT Distributors. I am looking at adding the Ruger LCP with the crimson laser.
These folks have great prices for LEO's and veterans.

I finally got my first update on the DPS site...

* Application : Received
* Fingerprints : Complete
* Affidavits : Received
* DL or ID : Valid
* Citizenship : No documentation required
* Passport photo holder : Received
* Photo : Received
* Proof of Classroom training : Received
* Proof of Proficiency training : Received
* Fee : Received
* Background Check : Under review
* Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review


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.

The suspense was killing me so I called to see if they had received my prints yet and the guy on the line said no they hadn't. He said to wait until tuesday and call back. If they weren't there yet then I was probably in the same group of folks already having problems in the system. He took my TCN number to put me in the que to get the "ball rolling". :headscratch

Just for grins. I called to see if they had received my prints too. They have received them, but no results yet.

Yeah that's part of the reason. I was told by the print technician that mine would be there by Friday. They were right this time.
