I'm assuming this is meant to be a home defense firearm? If so, 5 shots 'should' be plenty? Just wondering out loud if it would be worth the hassle to ME for just 1 extra shell.

Done - this is an easy format for the process - Thanks.

My Hoosier brother delights in reminding me just how few 2A rights I am allowed here in Illinois. Does he have a waiting period on gun purchases? is he prohibited from having a threaded barrel, a suppressor or a laser? Nope, nope and nope. Indiana is also now a Constitutional Carry State, NEVER had CCW classes, did provide lifetime carry permits, no dopey mag or semi-auto rifle bans either. Sometimes I forget that Illinois ONLY champions rights if they benefit illegal aliens, while refusing to acknowledge the 2nd Amendment's existence. Silly me.

Done for all of them. I have one 'uniformed' question - is there any evidence that filing these Opponent slips has ever actually accomplished anything beyond personal satisfaction?

About 100 rounds through it so far, no issues. And I'm still able to maintain my M.O.P.P. accuracy at 10yards. That's Minute of Paper Plate in case you wondered.

OK, I'm old with bad eyesight and arthritis in my hands. The joys of the "Golden Years". Red dot pistol sights are a blessing. My G19 Gen 5 is non-MOS. Problem? Nope - Amazon and $15 got me a dovetail plate for my budget RMR dot sight of choice, the $106 Cyelee CT2. Just tap out the OEM plastic rear sight, tap in the plate, loctite the set screws and VOILA! Red dot equipped non-MOS Glock. I also am enjoying the $12 Tactical slide rack assist. Cyelee CT2 Dovetail plate Ring slide assist

FWIW this week's range trip confirmed that the budget friendly Armscor 40gr JHP 22WMR ammo functions just fine through the pistol, as does the Fiocchi 'Range Dynamics' 40gr TMJ fodder - also a lower cost option to CCI and other 'name' brands. 22WMR is a very fun round to shoot, but yes, it is NOT cheap plinking.

What can I say? It followed me home from my LGS. I wanted to add this caliber to my rimfire collection and sadly found that I lack the digital dexterity to easily load/unload the cheapie Heritage Rough Rider SAA in 22/22WMR I recently purchased and will soon be selling off somewhere. (Thanks arthritis-lol) All the YouTube vids and other reviews I found pretty much raved about the Walther, touting its ease of use, great ergonomics, accuracy, impressive fireball and bang all with very low, controllable recoil. A quick range trip this morning confirmed all the positive reviews. This thing is great fun to shoot. My aging eyes prefer red dots, so I picked up a budget? ($106) Cyelee CT2 off Amazon which mounted easily to the optic ready WMP and it too does not disappoint. A new shootin' iron is always a nice way to start a new year says I.

Wondering out loud cuz I've not had a response from an "official' inquiry, does the PICA program allow for registering/adding a firearm that has been kept out of State all this time but now might be brought back home in the near future?

I should note that all my handguns have 15 round or less standard capacity mags. I load AR mags at the range unless they are 10 rounders.

I am not aware of any sort of restriction like you describe here in Illinois. I almost always have loaded mags in my unlocked range bag in the back of my SUV when heading off to the range. Been doing it that way for more decades than I care to admit.

My HiPoint 9mm carbine remains banned it would seem.

What?!? A politician who spews a line of BS? As a citizen of Chicago I am shocked and stunned, shocked and stunned I tells ya'. As a Vietnam Vet I loathe anyone guilty of stolen valor actions or words.

For liability reasons I choose to keep my reloads for my own use. Not a law, but I sleep better. lol

I've been reloading since '08. NO regulations as long as my ammo is for MY consumption, not for sale to anyone which would make me a 'manufacturer' requiring an FFL.

If I were advising POTUS - the poor sad senile man that he is - I'd suggest he give his son AND Donald Trump full pardons for all crimes, past and present. Just to drive both sides nutz.

No amnesia on my part, but I DO know what can get you a felony conviction in Federal court. A mantra I learned a long time ago was - "You wanna be right or you wanna be happy?"

Like it or not, several Federal regulations apply when purchasing a firearm, including the 4473 form. Like it or not, wacky weed remains a Federal no-no. I reckon the easiest and simplest way to avoid issues with the Feds would be to NOT smoke wacky weed, or use any other Federally banned drug in the first place, if you choose to be a gun owner/buyer.

By all accounts the Turkish arms that make it into the USA market are solid, reliable and quite affordable. I'm luvin' my Silver Eagle 20ga semi-auto. I normally turn to Hickok45 on YouTube for honest, agenda free gun reviews and he had some good things to say about the Canik handguns.

About two years ago I had a local gun shop refuse to sell me an Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine because their store manager said it fell within the """assault weapon""" ban. Okay fine - I don't argue with stores, I vote with my wallet. I went online with my C&R and bought a WWII vintage REAL one for about $300 less. Shoots great and IS a piece of living history.

I am not surprised that no relief appears to be forthcoming from the courts prior to the New Year's Day deadline. I fully accept that I am the only one who will be liable for any consequences arising from my choice of action prior to year's end. Yea or nay it seems a mighty sad state of affairs in this sorry State. But hey..... there's still time for a Christmas miracle..................... or the Energizer Bunny.............. or Sasquatch riding a unicorn to come to our rescue.

No worries - let them take their time - I mean it's not like we only have some 19 days to choose whether to comply with an unjust law or risk loss of our FOID/CCW and face the potential for legal fees, felony convictions and fines. Oh wait..... never mind.

And THAT is why that Ice Cream franchise sells all those different flavors. IMHO we are living in the 'Golden Age' of handguns. I'm 74, been shooting for over 60 years, and marvel at the plethora of 'good' choices for reliable, safe firearms there are at ALL budget levels. I reckon we can thank the era of the "polymer wonders" as the genesis of this Golden Age. I well remember when low cost/affordable meant Saturday Night Special crapola, Not anymore....IMHO.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was something different, but still kudos to Sig for the offer. I would have no issue owning one.

IMHO Sig resolved the issue with the recall. The BEST safety for EVERY firearm lies between the ears of the shooter. I have a few different handguns in my carry rotation, all with one in the chamber, most with no external safety. Cuz when the feces hits the rotary ventilator I may well need it to fire now, not after I do some manipulation I could fumble. Caveat, I am NOT in the Israeli armed forces, nor do I train at the high level they do. I'm a geezer with arthritis and will never carry in any condition other than one in the pipe.
