Did you get yours today NTEXChallengerCHL?

I'll have to wait til I get off work to check. But you having your's in hand has me extremely hopeful

I go to a local Academy everyday before work to check if they have any 9mm for me. They usually get a truck in Fridays, but stock is gone by noon. = (

We'll have to see. I'm up by Dallas so hopefully I'll get mine Saturday. If not then I'll have to wait til Monday. As it's looks from past timelines, Friday is a mailing day so I have high hopes

Same here!!! The race is on, lol

Looks like my holster beat my CHL. Thought it would be the other way around. And yes, I played dress up in the house tonight, fits perfectly and feels great :

Status online still says waiting to receive documents. So I'm guessing that is part of the data entry process, that and then getting in a database for the LEO's. I'm glad there is progress even i can't see any online yet.

Called DPS first thing this morning. My application and fingerprints have been received. AND my background check has cleared!! I am now waiting on data entry to enter into the system so my updates will show and once it is input into the system it should go straight to maunfacturing!!! WOOT getting closer!!!

That makes me feel better. I have high hopes for an update before the weeks end. WOOT

I'm hoping mine will update in a few days. If it at least said, " Hey we got your stuff" I wouldn't be so worried about it. But time will tell I guess. I called DPS last week and got a very rude rep on the phone who told me to call back after 4 weeks has passed since I mailed it.I guess between lack of communication throughout this part of the process and poor customer service when I called in, it just frustatrates me to no end. However then I remember that is a state agency, and should I really expect great things from them? Oh well...day 26 and counting. I'm so ready for my Wally Walk!!
