I haven't Wally Walked yet - although I did the Market Street Stroll yesterday. Wally Walk coming this week, as well.

Yes, they have a standard XD40c, but no 9mm's. I'll just be patient.

I need to *find* an XD9sub - Cabela's has them on sale starting today for $50 off (making price $469 for the std blk model), but of course i called them and they don't have any. Oh well, I really want night sights anyway.

brewdawg wrote:Well, checked DPS today and the status has changed to Application Complete. So I guess it is time to shop for something to carry my XD9SC.

Yep, I'll WallyWalk as soon as I get my new carry piece. I have a full-size Beretta PX-4 Storm (9mm) that I keep by the bed, and I just put my 96FS (.40) Vertec on consignment at the local gunshop.

I most likely will pick up a SA XD9c. Trying to find someone who has one in stock with night sights, and then have to get a Comp-Tac Minotaur for it.

Check your mailbox - my plastic arrived about 30 minutes ago.


Very quick processing, IMHO

Hopefully it'll only take an extra few days to sort out. Waiting on that letter must be tough!

brewdawg wrote:Thanks for the info. I contacted the Court and they knew immediately what I needed. So I faxed the request to them. Hopefully the required letter will be here later this week. Talked to the wife earlier and she said the letter from DPS explaining what I needed to provide still has not arrived. So we will see.

brewdawg wrote:Looks like mine is going to take a while longer. I got excited by all of y'alls recent approvals so I gave them a call. Supposedly a letter has been sent explaining that they need more info on a disposition. That is all the girl could tell me. So now I am waiting on the letter to find out what they are wanting.

Ugh! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will be something that can be cleared up quickly.

Quite possible!

I also noticed Grumble lives in Allen perhaps we had a Collin county batch go through yesterday.

Checking this morning, it was exactly as the DPS rep told me...

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

I think I'll go shopping today for a new carry piece.

So my online status still says "Processing Application." Realizing that it's only been 30 days since I mailed in the paperwork, I decided that my lack of patience was getting the best of me - so I phoned Austin to "see if I could provided any additional information..."

The very professional and helpful womann on the phone informed me that my application was COMPLETED and my CHL was issued today. I figure another week before it's printed and received.

That's pretty quick, IMHO!

Excellent news Walther and Texmex2004.

Didn't think the DPS would be processing applications today. Still nothing on my status. I'm getting the itch to buy a new carry rig, but *not* going to do it until I get the "All Clear" signal.

Ahhh ... PIN in the mail and the "Application Processing" status. Entering the time warp.

I typically shoot at The Bullet Trap in Plano. For members, it's a reasonable $7.99/day range fee. Non-members is significantly higher. Worth it for me to be a member, definitely at $100/year.

I've also heard that Bass Pro Shops north of DFW airport has a decent range, but have never been there. I've only been back in Texas for a month after an 18 year hiatus in New Jersey. Sure is good to be home.

brewdawg wrote:I hope so as well. Still have not received my PIN number so I don't know what my status us yet. Where do you shoot in the Allen area. My wife and I are looking at moving to eh Plano/Frisco/McKinney area in a few months.

grumble wrote:Sounds like you and I are in exactly the same boat. Here's to hoping we have plastic in hand before the end of the month!

brewdawg wrote:Congrats to all that have received theirs. I am still waiting for a PIN number, but the check cleared my bank on the 31st.

Guess I should update my profile. Living in Collin County (Allen) - what a great town, although they do like their speed limits, here!
