What gets me is this gun can not be sold to an Illinois resident "due to state laws" but it is being sold by an Illinois gun shop. How is this gun illegal in Illinois?

I believe these are Nickel plate over a Zinc alloy frame...


(720 ILCS 5/24‑3)
"(h) While holding any license as a dealer, importer,
manufacturer or pawnbroker under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, manufactures, sells or delivers to any unlicensed person a handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver which is a die casting of zinc alloy or any other nonhomogeneous metal which will melt or deform at a temperature of less than 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Basically one of the "Saturday Night Special" laws against cheap, affordable, firearms..

Yes, because you can fire a 7 round mag fast enough to heat up the slide to 800 F.... I know Ill had idiotic gun laws but come on...

You might say I gave $25 for 1 ( bought at a police auction) of mine and the other one came from a loan i made with a coworker and he gave it to me for helping him out of a bind.
