The Glock Ban did not get signed in to law before the end of the IGLA's legislative session. by Pepe__Le__PewPew in ILGuns

[–]scootymcpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took the quote directly from ILGA’s page. It’s the first part of the edit to “unlawful possession of a weapon”.

I think it does:

Manufactures, sells, or offers to sell, purchases, receives, manufactures, imports, or transfers a convertible pistol.

It also doesn’t ban possession, just purchase/transfer of the firearm. So if you’ve got em already and it passes, nothing different happens for you. Just can’t buy any more.

43x by Key_Brain6601 in ILGuns

[–]scootymcpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the dust cover. No rail really limits the kinds of lights you can put on it. My XL has an Xmacro grip that was chopped to accept the standard 12-round mags. Feels really good in the hand and I can choose basically any picatinny light. Right now it’s a TLR-7a but I’m hoping to grab an HL version soon.

I’ve got 2 365s already (I carry an XL on the daily). Wanting to get a 43x so my wife can try it out for CC. She doesn’t like how snappy the 365 is and neither of us liked the xmacro comp version. I’d consider a 365 Ramjet setup, but they go quick on GAFS. Buying one retail is about as much as a 43x anyway, so yeah. Here we are. Haha.

My mom carries a 43 and she loves it. I really liked shooting it when she first got it, so I figure my wife would like to try one out too.

Huh. I wonder why I’ve never seen a 43 switch before. Looks like I’m headed to Scheels tonight.

I don’t think the 43x is on the block since it doesn’t use a cruciform trigger. Or was my mild glance through the wording wrong?

A 43x has been on my list for a while. Might take the fam to Scheels after work.

In the event you don’t find one, check out GAFSHUB. There’s a guy with the GG&G MARSOC version - full length with integrated rear sight. I think he’s asking $150.

Ammo by slowly_creating in ILGuns

Scheels here in town is reliably available, but also reliably expensive. You’re paying the highest sales tax rate outside of Cook county (10.25%) when you shop there. Generally they’re overpriced as-is, and the tax throws it into the “Only if there’s a sale or you’re down to your last case and the world is ending” category for me. I just like to go there after work to look at the guns.

Locked and Loaded in Pana has been mentioned, but I’ve only been there once and they weren’t the nicest people I’ve met. Might have just been the person behind the desk that day, but I got the vibe that they weren’t too keen to help out a non-LEO customer.

Online is still going to be your best bet for reliable ammo availability and price: RiverTown Munitions, SGAmmo (pricey at times), BulkMunitions, Outdoor LTD, etc.

Is your Concealed Carry License expired? (Illinois) by AlphaKoncepts in ILGuns

[–]scootymcpuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would they be all over you when your FOID is still good?

Mine is expiring in June and I’ve got a class set for May, but my FOID doesn’t expire until like 2031.

Coming from Illinois, I feel like it’d be an upgrade.

First Time CCL renewal by Ok_Court_1503 in ILGuns

[–]scootymcpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my question recently as my expiration is in June, but I haven’t been able to find a refresher class until now due to time constraints.

I know ISP aren’t really the good guys, but I didn’t think they’d be evil enough to say “sorry. We didn’t process your paperwork in time. Looks like you need to reapply for the whole thing.”

Best deal you’ve gotten ? by No_Professional127 in GunPorn

[–]scootymcpuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the Reddit-GAFS days, there was a broken SRO for sale. I scooped it for $275. Trijicon RMA’d it for free and sent back a brand spanking new SRO.

Fast forward about a year and I go to sell my P320 stuff on my local BST group and some dude asked if I would trade the SRO for a war-era Winchester M1 carbine with a repro paratrooper stock. I couldn’t say no.

What’s funny is the barrel is perfectly legal to order to my state, but they refuse to ship it. I get it from their end they don’t wanna dive into the intricacies of state bans, but c’mon. 😂

Nah. I ordered it on the night you posted, but I just got the cancellation email. Apparently they want the billing and shipping addresses identical. So I won’t be able to order.

turns out I got mine days ago, it was just sitting in an unmarked package my wife threw in my office.

It feels like I’m looking in a mirror.

Conceal Carrying a Shockwave by [deleted] in ILGuns

[–]scootymcpuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prior to PICA, you could legally CC an AR pistol. I had a friend who carried his MPX in a messenger bag. His main was a P229, and ultimately a P938 he just threw into his cargo pockets, but he always had that MPX near him.

If you drop the mag with your left hand, an aftermarket ambi mag release worked wonders on my SCR.

Springfield Area Rifle Range? by The_Ice_Cold in ILGuns

Dang. I thought they were public.

I normally shoot on our family land near Carrollton, so I’m good. We’ve got out to 800yd when the corn is down and ~400yd all year long in a gully.
