In most of Illinois this item is perfectly legal. The only places that have an issue with this are Cook County, Aurora, and Highland Park. The restrictions listed here budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf are only in those areas, So as long as you do not live in any of those areas, you should be perfectly fine getting this.

Marrion, I would visit a local FFL Dealer just to get an idea of what may be legal in a similar configuration to this. They may actually have something in stock already. Compare a few models/prices locally and with Buds and decide accordingly. Cheers!

Marrion, A good place to start because of all the weird laws municipality by municipality in IL is to develop a relationship with a local gun shop or FFL. These types of pistols are legal in most of IL. You can use your local expert as a sounding board on specific firearms.
