...how'd the range part go? didja qualify ok? how many Glocks malfunctioned???

If by malfunction you mean shoot circles around S&W and Berettas then all of them.

Priceless!

Yup.

The first time, I qualified with my G22.
The second time with the baby G27.
The third time will be in the next few months, hopefully with Crossfire, will be with my G21. I don't remember if the scores were perfect or not, but I did pretty well with the two .40's. I hope to do better with the 21.

How can you complete the background check before doing fingerprints and taking the class?

Im taking my CHL class in Feb and Ive already done the background check and fingerprints. Everything is online now. First you go to the DPS site and fill out the info and pay the $140 fee. After 24 hours or so you can set up an appointment to have your fingerprints done.

To clarify, you did NOT complete the background check. You only completed the application. DPS does the background check after you application, fingerprints, and supporting documents are received.

@speedsix, qualifying went great. There were several people shooting with glocks. The ones shooting with glocks gave great reviews about their glocks. I might have to check into one for myself.

...glad yours went well...glad the glocks managed to pull through with good performance...unlike several on the line at each of my class and renewal classes...if you get one for your carry weapon, be sure to fire at least 200 rds. of what you'll carry in it before trusting your life to it...please!!!

[JustMe]

YES!! The class lasted from 7:30AM to 9:PM--but had nothing to do with size of class!!!

And as one of the people shooting Glocks I am proud to say that NONE of them malfunctioned and were good qualifyers!!

[speedsix]

...did you two go to the same class or are they all gettin' longer??? all joking aside about any brands...you new guys buy the best quality you can afford and shoot 'em at least 200 rds of what you'll carry before trusting it...as you'll find by researching stories on the web, newspaper accounts about PD recalls, etc...NO brand is perfect...even the best ones can have problems...and one can be expensive...

Yes, we were in the same class at Red River in Sherman

I've put about 350 through my glock 19 so far--I have a 26 ordered that should be here this week(should have been last week but can you say UPS?)

Just in case I missed it, Welcome to the Forum to both you and BigTex76. I hope you two don't have to wait too long for your license to arrive.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification . You're right, I shoulda said that I sent in the app and paid the fee. I misunderstood the question. I thought that the poster meant how can you get fingerprints done and the app before you take the class.

[bigtex76]

Thanks for the welcoming. I have all my stuff ready to mail today, but I believe the post office is closed today. Does anybody know if they open or not?
@Justme, I believe you were the one telling me how good the glock is at the class. I am going to check into the glocks.

[rx7fan]

They are closed today, then again in two weeks for King, then on 2/20 for all the presidents lumped into one day.
