Interesting story about how the Illinois legislature is shooting themselves in the foot.

Uh...1911 revolvers? I gotta get one of those...
Finest 1911A1 I’ve ever had in my hands was from Les. Fine workmanship, excellent reliability, and damned accurate out of the box.

Two places that we and the industry should avoid and boycott are CA and IL.
Ronnie Barrett and (who just recently announced they would not sell in CA?) have it right.

Gun makers in Illinois and Massachusetts make as much sense as a conservative straight man in both of those states. Both need to move away and let the communists suffer because there is no money from taxpayers.

Springfield Armory next?
Springfield mainly imports, despite their sales pitch. Xp's are made in Bosnia or some such place, M1A's and 1911's are made in South America. Les makes his stuff here...

I was thinking of getting this gun. A thousand bucks but seems worth it.
One of the more popular weapons in Iraq, for those that can afford it, is the Glock 18 9mm pistol. This one looks just like the widely used Glock 17 pistol, but with one major difference, the Glock 18 can fire full auto (1200 rounds a minute). Since the Glock 18 magazine only holds 17 rounds, this means you can empty it in less than second

“...1911 revolvers...” DUH!
“...large-capacity gun magazine clips...” and umm bullet thingys.
Jeepers! The MSM has been attacking the firearms industry for decades, and they still can’t get it right.
Give ‘em Hell, Les! Strike the tent and cross over the river. Good luck in Iowa.

Given the writers obvious knowledge of firearms I can only assume that the reference is to those........
Very dangerous, automatic, custom 1911 Assault revolvers
(You guys know the ones I mean.....uses 45mm bullets)
