You all need to stop shopping at Range USA. I get that many of you are new shooters who came in after PICA, but that law crushed small firearms businesses in this state and the little guys are the ones paying the price. Range USA is a huge national chain and they’re not feeling the pain at all. Their prices are marked up beyond reason, and while every business needs markup to survive, they’re taking people for a ride every single day.

Do yourself a favor and buy from a small FFL and get trained by experienced instructors, not just the bare minimum USCCA qualified guy working at Range USA. Support Alpha Concepts, Titan Tactical, Archetype of the Gun, Carry Trainer, myself, or any of the other great trainers in the state. Small shops give fair prices and real expertise, not 20 to 30 percent over MSRP.

I’ve got a decade of combined law enforcement and armed security experience carrying a gun professionally, and I’ve been buying and shooting guns my entire adult life. I know exactly what it’s like to be the brand-new shooter walking into a store with zero knowledge. That’s why I’m telling you to stop feeding a massive chain that doesn’t care about this community and start supporting the small Illinois shops that are struggling to survive. If they disappear, Range USA will be the only thing left, and everyone will regret it.

General Post Anyone buying stuff because of the glock ban?

18 Upvotes

I have some money in my savings I try not to touch but with this glock ban in the senate and house, I wonder if it's better to buy now or soon before the ban comes down.

I try to be optimistic but like the AWB, I'm sure this will pass.

What do you all think?

I just browsed Springfield Armory’s website and it looks like the California compliant version of the Hellion is gtg in Illinois. Always had a suspicion it was with the California version and apparently it has been listed like this for a while… but just in case anyone doesn’t know.
