I can understand anxiousness and frustration. I approached this whole process being relaxed and expecting it to take forever. I didn't even look at the site for an update until the 30th day. I read the forum and knew it was going to be a long wait and was fine with it. Having that attitude made the process seem a little faster for me. I never called because I heard the wait times were outrageous. I did email once just to verify they got all my paper work. (I mailed it) They got back to me in 4 days and confirmed it was all received.
Just be patient. It will make it. Take time to break in your holster in the house during your wait. Get used to carrying the weapon concealed in the house. Practice your draw. Try to get accustomed to having your weapon in the car using the Castle Doctrine. Read up on the rules. Do everything you can do to prepare yourself for when you do finally get your plastic. Your going to drive yourselves nuts checking for an update 2-3 times a day.
It will get there. Just don't drive yourself bonkers waiting on it.

Re: January 2014
Thanks for the info. I got a King Tuk and like it but I am sure this wont be my only holster. Anything recommended is appreciated. I took a look at the site and that holster looks really comfortable.jroddy187 wrote:Don't want to drag this off topic, but if you have not found a good IWB yet, I would check out the Comp-Tac MTAC.Ryansdaddy wrote:Next it is off to find a IWB holster for my weapon that is comfortable to wear over long periods of the day.

Re: January 2014

I did email, not call DPS on 2/14/14 to verify they had all materials. I got a response on 2/18/14 that they did indeed have it all but the process was behind. On 2/21/14 I saw my first update and then Monday 2/24/14 it was mailed.
Should have it in my hands withing the next 24 to 48 hours. Next it is off to find a IWB holster for my weapon that is comfortable to wear over long periods of the day.
