    How long did it take to get your CCW

    Illinois Applied with all the proper paperwork etc. on March 16, 2014 Received my CCW on April 22, 2014. I was surprised.

    Eagle Grips

    I bought a set of RB to SB for my 19-3 snubbie. I happen to live near their office so I brought the gun to the store. The owner, Raj, couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. That being said, the stocks did not fit well off the shelf. I left the gun with them and ran some errands for...

    1St Post..."I'll Take It"

    I've bought 3 guns on this (really great!) forum all by just happening to get the first "I'll take it" on record. I've been beaten many times. The whole process reminds me of pigeons feeding but I can't think of a better way to do it. Just gotta be ready to "peck" fast!

    Anybody Lighted their Safe?

    Just got a used Liberty 25. I've brought power in through the 3/8" hole in the lower back corner of the safe. I used 14/3 cord (overkill, I know) because its diameter matched the diameter of the hole in the safe. I'm going to use a Goldenrod or some similar heat source to keep the temp above...
