I have to leave town and if he doesn't come before I leave, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if I got my plastic or not!

You have got to be kidding me! The Monday I wanted to mail my packet off was Labor Day, and the day I want to get the plastic is Columbus Day? I just can't win...

And to add insult to injury, my college doesn't even give us the day off like public schools would. Ouch!

And I mailed the packet around 2pm so I know it didn't have time to travel far, if at all, on the day I mailed it. Hmmm...
Anyway, I hope I get it on Monday so I can start working out some carry options. I'll be driving back into Dallas for my mom's birthday this week, and I'd like to be carrying when we go. I'm still without a holster and I don't think my sister or mom will ever let me live down wearing the fanny pack.

Well, it sure wasn't in the mail today (much to my dismay) but I expect it to be here on Monday/Tuesday. I'll let ya know!

Sounds like everyone was mailed today but me. My status is still in Background Review. Record is spotless so I cannot understand why it is taking so long. In fact, the FBI has already cleared me on 2 separate occasions in the past few years for more important ventures (neither of which took near this long). Maybe they are recognizing my name and think I am on one their naughty lists.. LOL.

I too have a FOBUS paddle holster. It is very comfortable but near impossible to conceal with the full size SA that I carry. I also have a couple of the 5.11 Holster Shirts and they are excellent! They are comfortable and no printing. Of course, you really have to wear them with the 5.11 Covert Casual shirt (or similar) over it to make quick access to your weapon realistic. I also have a drop leg tactical holster and I am praying for the day I can just wear that one everywhere and not worry about this conceal nonsense... heh heh!

Thanks DangerJ,

I've got several already. My wife asked when enough was too much.
I asked when enough shoes were too much.

I've got IWB, OWB, Pancake, I think I'll order a supertuck since I've seen so many people
ranting about them. I just hate spending so much on each holster unseen.

I've been wearing a Fobus paddle holster empty for a few weeks to make
sure I'm comfortable with placement of it, and keeping it from printing. I only
do it one or two days a week because my wife laughs at me for wearing an empty
holster. But I think it's helped me make some changes that will keep me from
showing when I don't want. I've moved my wallet from my strong hand side to my
weak hand side. Same with my keys in my front pocket. Reaching around to grab
my wallet on my strong arm side with the holster at 4:00 made me nervous that
I'd show. I'm getting better at it. My wife couldn't tell the last few times I carried it.
