Well, all this time and still no PIN for me, but my dad sent his paperwork about a week after me and he got his PIN the following week! I'm kinda hoping my CHL will just show up, I check the mail everyday with excitement but have been disappointed everyday so far, just more and more bills. I really wish they would figure out bill doesn't live here. :lol:

I'm hoping mine comes in this week as well, I'm bummed out about the whole process.... :cryin

My brother has a G21, and its a big ol pistol! I'm sure with the right equipment, you can conceal just about anything! Comp-Tac makes some nice IWB holsters that should work out for you.

Ruger, are you sure your's is even processing yet? Mine was entered into the system; PIN received, blah blah, but is still waiting to start processing. If not I would email and request a status check. At least then you would know when to start the clock so to speak.

According to Mr. Montoya at CHL HQ, everthing looks fine, all they are waiting for is the final FBI check. In total, I've emailed them twice and called them once. Tick tock watching the clock.
