You can download the PDF <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.chicagopolice.org\/portal\/page\/portal\/ClearPath\/About%20CPD\/Firearm%20Registration\/Unsafe-Roster-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My first impression after reading the list is that they really scrounged hard to find some of those manufacturers. I would estimate that I didn&#8217;t recognize the name of about 90% of them.<\/p>\n<p>They had some of the obvious choices given the demonization of anything made by Lorcin, Davis, Jimenez, or Bryco Arms by the anti-gun lobby.<\/p>\n<p>They also banned everything from F.I.E. and Hi-Point. Now I may not want a Hi-Point and they get some grief in gun circles but I don&#8217;t think they are particularly unsafe. As to F.I.E.being on the list, this would mean my Tanfoglio-made F.I.E. TZ-75 9mm is banned. Obviously not much thought went into that choice as it is a solid, well made pistol.<\/p>\n<p>Derringers are out. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/artman2\/publish\/droppedshot\/12.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Bane<\/a> is going to be pissed at them that they dissed his Bond Arms derringers! Anything with a spur trigger or a sheathed trigger is out &#8211; not that you usually see these outside of collections of early pistols for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>I am incredulous that they included the Walther P22, the SIG Mosquito, and anything by Whitney such as the Wolverine on the list as &#8220;unsafe&#8221;. WTF?<\/p>\n<p>And, finally, in a swipe at Wile E. Coyote, they banned anything and everything by Acme and Acme Arms.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:&nbsp; A reader on SayUncle notes that the Unique DES-69U is not a cheap handgun. The Canadians include the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ag.ca.gov\/firearms\/forms\/pdf\/op.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DES-69U on a list specifically exempted<\/a> from classification as &#8220;unsafe&#8221;. Why? Because it is used in Olympic shooting and it is on a list of firearms provided to them by USA Shooting. I guess that isn&#8217;t good enough for Chicago.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Chicago has released it roster of &#8220;unsafe&#8221; (sic) handguns.
