what type of holster are you looking to buy? if you haven't already made a purchase, check out the holsters that this guy makes:

$50 (including shipping) for a crossbreed-style holster just can't be beat. he offers several customized options for no extra charge, and i can attest to the quality of his work. i got mine in my mailbox within a week of placing the order and absolutely love it so far.

Glad to see that the rejected ink prints didn't delay the process too much once you supplied the FAST.

Congratulations

Thanks. And it was just this past Saturday we finally received the snail letter about our prints being rejected.

The wait is getting shorter and harder.... Because You have to wait 24 hours between each time you check the mail.

01/27/11 FAST fingerprinted
01/27/11 mailed documents

My only issue with the process so far is that I was on hold with the DPS CHL hotline for almost 20 minutes before I got completely disgusted and hung up. My CHL instructor said that we could just drop off our stuff at DPS headquarters but I didn't see any info about that on their website, so I was calling to see if I could drop it off since I was already in Austin getting fingerprinted. Oh well, surely mailing it from 20 miles away won't slow down the process too much.....

It's taking me a little while to get back here, but I got my plastic on the 4th! Too bad that I was out of town until yesterday... Now it's off for the Wally Walk...
