I liked the seller comment "this is a consignment, starting price may be lowered after several re-lists". Guess somebody had the money to spend on useless stuff.

I have pretty big paws and as much as I like the Shield, it just doesn't fit me well. My personal preference has been Kahr CW9, it's light and fits me well. I sold mine a few months back and have regretted it. Been thinking of getting a Bersa BP9cc to carry in t-shirt weather but the trigger...

I have an American Classic and a Para Expert Commander (aluminum frame). The AC is a very good shooter and smooth but fit of the factory grip safety wasn't the best. I bobtailed it and fit a .220 radius grip safety at the same time. Out of my four 1911's (others are both Springfield) it had...

Congrats, expect to see more folks posting this....IL licenses have already shown up in a few mailboxes on Saturday!

There are right around 220 home rule units in IL. So a potential for a lot of different laws scattered around, although I suspect most of the ones with real problems would be the 'burbs. The court didn't order that a law be passed, they just said that some sections of current UUW law were...

If I recall correctly there is a special session scheduled for the legislature on July 8. Handy since July 9 is the last day of the court's stay. If Quinn vetoes the bill they'll be right there to override before "Constitutional" carry can take effect. Most have come to call it court carry due...

Ask and ye shall receive: Soon to have a new coat of green.

Hi folks, just wanted to pass along some anti bills that are already thru committee and eligible for vote.... (links below will take you to synopsis of each bill at ILGA site) We have already been calling and writing our Reps asking them to oppose these bills, I ask that you do as well...

Good advice here so far, I'd also toss in that you need to become truly proficient with your best friend: the file, and also learn to operate a lathe and mill proficiently. I happen to work at a school that has a full gunsmith program (but I am not the instructor for that...I'm machine...

+1 on TIG welding, but if that doesn't work out or you aren't comfortable with it then (as far as I know) only Fusion and Wilson Combat have alloy frames. I don't know if Wilson sells frames by themselves or not though. Fusion has experience with CZ and I have bought parts from them with no...

There's little to rewrite. The bill was rewritten several times to address the concerns of law enforcement and universities already, it's a darned good bill. The simple fact is that Chicago wants unarmed subjects and the city has enough sway to screw over the rest of us. Only 1 rep south of...

If it weren't for being divorced and wanting to see my kid daily, my butt would be across the river. The fight isn't over yet though.

As mentioned, depends on the state. My understanding of IN law is that it is merely a trespassing violation and they ask you to leave, if you refuse to leave you can then be arrested for trespass....but IANAL and I'm also not an IN resident.

Don't forget, the Chicago Sergeants' Association is also backing HB 0148 now! Chicago Chiefs have indicated that they will be favorable after a small change was made....they (the Chiefs) haven't made an official announcement yet but were at the committee proceedings last Tuesday in Springfield...

See ya there Kingcreek! I'll be wearing the gold t-shirt.
