  1. While my Glock 19 has been 100% reliable, it just feels "off" to me and my Wife couldn't get a good grip on it. I sold it and bought an Echelon compact. Got the last one at D5 ranges in Marengo for a great price. I picked it up today and went straight into their range. Man o Man, what a treat to shoot. There is really no negatives. Great grip texture, great sights, great features, outstanding trigger and very accurate. My new night gun and cool month carry. Might even be able to carry it in warmer months with cargo shorts/belt and T shirt. We are really past the "Oh my, can someone with a keen eye spot me carrying" anyway. If you have a chance to shoot an Echelon of any flavor, I bet you enjoy it. Few pics and some comparisons.
  2. Love my Henry lever actions and the new supreme looks rather cool. Too bad we can generally have it with a suppressor. https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/lever-action-supreme-rifle/
  3. I wouldn't want to test that theory. At a minimum, your days own owning/carrying a weapon might be over.
  4. Yep, one way or another, he will not do time or miss a single payment..
  5. Joe Biden will use this to claim virtue about being fair and just. "Look, even my own kid was found guilty, so I don't want to hear about 2 tier justice." Then when no one is looking, he will pardon the smartest person he has ever known. Fact is, this case was cut & dry and anyone breathing could understand the charges, trial and verdict.
  6. Illinois' ban will remain in effect while lower courts consider its constitutional status https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-allows-illinois-assault-weapons-ban-take-effect Does not give a warm & fuzzy.
  7. Wife just checked her status and it is "Under review". Not too worried as we know it was because she had to update her FOID to show her middle initial. Our question is, how much delay this could mean? Not a huge deal, but after spending hundreds of $$, waiting an exceptionally long time stinks.
  8. All figured out. $5 plus a "service fee" and she's all set.
  9. I wondered about that too. Whatever is easiest, least expensive, but most importantly won't delay her CCL.
  10. OK thanks, I thought $80 was crazy to add a middle initial to FOID.
  11. My Wife is wrapping up her 2nd day off CCL class and is at the range right now. Her instructor noticed today that her FOID does not have her middle initial like her DL does. Hopefully it does not delay getting her CCL, but the real shocker is that Illinois wants an $80 processing fee to change this! Am I seeing things? That is multiple times more than the FOID costs! Shouldn't they have caught this when processing her FOID years a go? What a sham. I'm proud of her for spending 16 hours this weekend and getting her CCL. The class was 38 strong which is nice to see.
  12. Non Instructor Applied 1/2 w/prints Approved 2/28 Mailed 3/1 Received 3/5 Rockford area
  13. Hmm, did they use invisible ink? I see nothing.
