2 months 15 days (76 days) from mailbox to mailbox.

I remember having a CHL mid 2000's and the material that they used for the card seems different than what's being used now. it used to feel thicker, sturdier...now it feels thinner and cheaper??? maybe some of you veteran CHL holders can confirm.

Congrats, but 92 days is a little misleading. You didn't take your class until 2 weeks after you started your online application. Typically your timeline starts once all required items have been submitted which in your case would be around 78 days which is why I assume you are posting in the March applications thread instead of the February applications thread. Not being critical, just trying to keep apples to apples for other people trying to gage timeline trends.

I see what you mean, but it was in fact around three months or 91 days (I had a typo) according to daycalc.appspot.com/03/08/2014 (a handy little tool for anyone wanting to calculate their number of days, replace my date with yours), and I submitted all paperwork online after I got back from my CHL class on March 8th. I'm not sure why my application took a while, but for other applicants, my timeline is not representative of what you should expect. Sorry for the confusion, jmra.

Frequent status checks all saying "waiting for required materials"
Received CHL in mail 5/6/14 (Status online still said "waiting for required materials")

took about 7 1/2 weeks total start to finish.

So from mailed CHL - 100 on 3/17/14 to mailed 5/23/14 = 67 days

Background Check : Completed
Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending



Took them forever to clear my background. Could be due to the fact I moved back home to Texas in 2010. I did have a CWP in Michigan, though.
