Chicago Police Department Roster of “Unsafe Handguns”
Acme Disintegrating Pistol Banned in Chicago
AmmoLand Gun News
Chicago, IL --(Ammoland.com)- The City of Chicago released its roster of “unsafe handguns” that cannot be legally possessed in the City because they cannot be registered with the police as one part of obtaining a license to possess a gun, as required under the City’s new gun laws.
But the list is not limited to hand guns as the law is so vague it can be interpreted as to apply to all guns made by a manufacture.
Of comical interest is banning of the deadly Daisy BB Gun Line, probably because of it pure destructive power.
And don’t forget Acme. Knowing who we are dealing with here they are probably referring to Acme Corporation from Looney Tunes? The coyote better watch out for Mayor Daley and his thugs now.
So besides a bunch of guns that have not been made in a 100 years what do you see on this list that is funny or raises your eyebrow? Leave us some comments below.

Hol crap! Why didn’t they just list the company that they do allow? It would have saved time and paper.
I don’t see Marvin the Martian’s blaster listed. Maybe I just missed it.
Did the city of Chicago really test all of these and determined them to be unsafe, or is the list arbitrary?
What were the testing procedures, what were the standards, who did the testing, and were the guns submitted by the companies themselves? Were they all new examples of current models that are even available for sale?
If not, these companies might have a case for discrimination by the city of Chicago.
I totally agree with the ban on the notorious “Boy’s Choice” line of firearm. Many of them were manufactured to fire the deadly 1 mm “Booger” round and clearly have no sporting purpose.
Rick is absolutely right! The “Booger” round has no sporting purpose, and is useless for self-defense unless your attacker is a 12 year old girl who is easily repulsed.
Walther P22? What is unsafe about that one? It has at least four safeties, and won’t fire with the mag removed… unless they consider that “unsafe.”
I fail to see what is unsafe about the Sig Mosquito. Mine is only dangerous if I through it at you because it is so picky about the ammo you use that it hardly ever works.
Remember that this is Chicago, so many companies on the list do not have contact information to send the extortion letter to.
Kel-tec is absent from the list.
>>> “did the city of Chicago really test all of these and determined them to be unsafe, or is the list arbitrary?” <<<
What planet are you from?
Let me explain. This is the radical (MARXIST) left doing what they want to do because nobody can, or will stop them from doing it. Happens all the time.
No, they didn't bother testing them. Yes, they will produce an "expert" or 3 at any hearing on the matter and no they won't tell the truth either.
Regarding the application of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, they don't mean a damn thing, and will be gotten rid of at the first opportunity, if they can't redefine the meanings contain therein, to mean exactly the opposite, of what the founders intended.
There is no accountability, except that provided within the document, for just such occasions as the government ignoring, the rights contained therein.
The government doesn't like, or want the second amendment (or most of the rest of them) around anymore because they have other ideas about how things ought to be, and who should be in charge. Elections are about to become optional or meaningless because they can't win without cheating and your vote won't mean squat, when we get all these new "comprehensive" citizens.
The latter, (who's in charge) isn't you and the former, (how things ought to be) isn't conceived by virtue of the founders, or any form of constitutional though that isn't contrived to obtain it.
In short they lie and will continue to do so, until they get what they want, and they will be protected from political harm, by their media/propaganda and indoctrination capabilities for as long as it takes. They mean to have this their way, and will do and say anything to get it, and that really is all you need to know about this.
The question is if they will be allowed to proceed.
There is absolutely no one on our side. No one who will not sell us and these document out, at the first opportunity. If they are to be saved. and the country as well, it will be up to us to do it. There is no one else.
Maybe you'll want to gas up and leave before there isn't any gas left or you can't afford it.
For a smile today, and I need one everyday, nowadays, smile!

Good grief!!! This is just FUNNY as HELL!!! Looks to me like you-guys did NOT allow ANY SAFE guns.Also seems to me, you-all just want FULL CONTROL. Well …I DON’T THINK SO.
Yo, wassup, Velo Dog?
It’s comforting to know that the criminals in Chicago may only use high quality, reliable, powerful handguns. What a relief! I feel so much safer now!
Looks like my “Ladies Home Companion” made by Cobray that holds 12 rounds of 45/70 is ok.
I wonder just how long it will take for the people of CHicago and the remainder of the State of Illinois to wake up and toss those criminal miscreants running their city and state?
WHy do not the state legislators put their foot down and pass a state preemption law that will put Daley and his goonsquads in their rightful place? It would be SO simple…. and effective. It would be the instant end of Daley’s grandstanding and tyranny. And save the taxpayers of Chicago and Cook County a TON of tax money. How long does this charade continue before the people of Illinois shake their lawmakers awake and TELL them to deal with that upstart lakeside village run by idiots?
The people need to rise up and let these idiots know who runs this country we all do.Dont vote the idiot in next time.Hope the state legislators put them in there place.
[...] them from being registered in the city of Chicago… Hi-Point's Response to Chicago – page 1 Chicago Police Department Roster of ?Unsafe Handguns? Hmmm interesting… [...]
I hate to sound repititious, but, Walther P22???????
While I oppose the list completely, there is no reason Kel-Tecs should have been on it. Although they are not expensive, they are well-made, fine for personal defense and carry a lifetime warranty.
What did you expect from far-leftist Emperor “DICK” Daley II and his cronies?
Walther P-22? Sig Mosquito? Ok, so those CAN be picky about ammo, but unsafe arms? Unsafe for who? Only the Career Criminal that gets an @zz-Whooping from Mr. & Mrs. Private Citizen because his gun didn’t fire.
Maybe Chicago will suffer the fate that most of us wish on The Peoples Socialist Republik of Kalifornia…an earthquke will cause Chikago to break off from ILL-inois and slide into the lake….
That list is not too bad. At least I can still carry my milkshake straw that shoots quarter inch sized pre chewed paper projectiles that stick to the ceiling. By the way, Mc Donald’s straws shoot a three eighths inch projectile. (Way more dangerous because of the higher caliber).
We all know the usual diatribe concerning gun control. Both the pro’s and the cons. I have but one question that will ultimately settle the entire issue once and for all. Our birthright is to be armed. The One who created us bestowed that right upon us. What human being has more power than The Creator? What Force gave any human being, or collective of human beings, the inherent right to dictate to others their ability to live their lives as they see fit without interference from others sworn to uphold and protect that ability to do so? The problem with limiting a right is where does it stop? Logic dictates that cultures evolve. Note the change in venue concerning firearms ownership over the past decade. The adage that when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. Simple. We, as a People, need to understand that strength lies in numbers, and in numbers, we can simply start ignoring the unjust firearms laws imposed upon our society. What will the opponents do? Attack us? Rule of law is a necessity. But an unjust law has no moral standing in a system of laws. Period.
The list does not include addresses of each establishment.
Maybe most of these are locale unreliable suppliers the city has used in the past. I think the city will be in trouble when their police and local officials (judges with handguns) won’t be able to purchase or repair their weapons.
How could they leave off the famed Russian atomic rifle? It had a range of 100 yards and killed everything in a mile radius. For some reason volunteer shooters were hard to find.
Quite the interesting list. I find it quie ironic that they, (Chicago) would not allow S&W, Remington, UMC handguns. THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THE NATION! From when the Supreme Court ruling was handed down, there is no way or means that legitimate and unbiased testing could be done/completed, even to this current date. They do not have the means, funding or facilities to even come close to testing all of the above firearms. To what end does a law abiding citizen of Chicago have to go to obtain a handgun legally. You can only give so much blood before you run dry, and that will satisfy the Chicago PD-maybe? Thank God I live in Colorado, and can conduct my business legally without Chicago restrictions being imposed.
They forgot the .40 cal Glocks, they will all explode in your hand sooner or later.
[...] List of "UNSAFE" guns Chicago Police Department Roster of ?Unsafe Handguns? good grief this list includes every firearm ever made……….here's my surprised look [...]
Comrade Ivan, you may want to correct this should you revisit this page. “How could they leave off the famed Russian atomic rifle? It had a range of 100 yards and killed everything in a mile radius. For some reason volunteer shooters were hard to find.”
Did you mean 1000 yards. Still at 1000 yards radius, you are far short of being a mile radius.
This is certainly cause to remind people of the real importance of an armed populace. Placing arms in the hands of only the government creates an unholy, improper and quite frightening imbalance of power. An armed population is a people prepared to draw the line, and an important counter-balance to a government out of control.
What a joke! While I didn’t recognize most of the names listed (either they are out of business, or so small as to not be widely known) listing such companies as Freedom Arms, maker of the .454 Casual, Smith & Wesson, Harrison and Richardson, Walther, and Sig Sauer shows how arbitrary this list is. I guarantee you that they did NOT test all of these guns.
One day the people of this country are going to say enough, and take their country back. I say we start today!
I can’t believe some of the names on this list….
Marlin? Are they saying that Marlin doesn’t make a single safe weapon? Surely they are kidding?
Walther P22? Hi-Point? Sig Mosquito? This list sounds like someone’s list of weapons they dislike. Not a scientific list based on serious study.
Perhaps they are trying to “punish” Marlin somehow.
This list needs to be challenged. (Yes I understand it is Chicago)
If they are allowed to do such a thing it should be a specific firearm, or line if an unsafe trait is shared. For them to list a manufacturer they should have to list the specific reasons.
They clearly just started listing crap, or found one and put the company on there.
Not my problem yet. I would never live in Chicago and try not to even drive through if possible. Feel sorry for those of you there though.
Don’t respect it; will continue to carry in Chicago; I have carried in Chicago since 1959, and had possession in my automobile. Yeah–they may ticket me some day, but I will quickly replace the one they confiscate. Fines? I can afford them. Jail time? Forget it; they can’t get me that far moved up on the docket to reach me in my lifetime! It IS Chicago, after all. Another consideration–Street officers aren’t all that concerned about the law, as any successful combatting of a felony by a firearm makes their job easier. Worse comes to worse, “pay the fine to the arresting officer”‘ and be on your way! As a matter of fact, wish some of you would join me in declaring, “You can make all the laws you want–I’m not about to obey this one!”
What Daley and his croneys need is for a thousand Chicagoans to march on City Hall with those “toys” that have in their closets and eject them from office. If they get injured in the process — oh well! That’s the only thing they’ll understand and it’s exactly why they fight so hard to prevent individual gun ownership.
thank God i live in georgia,we have a shoot first law. (shoot first then ask who are you and what are you doing in my yard) any gun is better than no gun.
Liberals, plain and simple. They want to take over and control every aspect of a citizens life. They want this country to be like the ones in Europe. Where the citizens can’t protect themselves from crime and or their own government. The founding fathers knew what a government without limits can and do to its subjects when their subjects can not protect itself. They become slaves to their new masters, and their masters are the government.
This list was produced so fast, that I find it utterly reprehensible that the City of Chicago would deign to think us all idiots. Thankfully, I do not, and will NEVER, live in Chicago….
Firstly, their speed at making NEW rules to the SCOTUS ruling was an obvious rewriting of the old ones to sound and look new. As well, Even if they had tested each and every one of the firearms presented on this list, there would be public record of the tests — none to be found anywhere…interesting.
Secondly, As I eluded above, the NEW rules are nothing more than a revamping of the old ones. Read them closely, you can see the original wording in there.
Thirdly, if the day comes, when ANY of those Liberals are staring down the barrel of a .45, two things are going to happen…
1. They WILL shit their britches!!
2. They WILL regret their decisions!!
NOW, what everyone that does own a gun in Chicago SHOULD DO is this….
Get:
1 – 4′x8′ sheet of plywood,
2 – 6′ – 2×4′s
1 – Gallon of White Paint
1 – Quart of Black Paint
1 – 1″ Paintbrush
Construct your sign, and paint it white. Next, Install your sign ON YOUR PROPERTY. Then, using the black paint, and a 1″ brush, paint this onto your sign…
“ATTENTION:
I promise to not use my guns to stop you from robbing my neighbor’s house. I also PROMISE to USE MY GUNS if you even THINK about coming into my house!!
Thank You, The Homeowner”
As long as the sign is on your property, your neighbors can bitch all they want — and NOTHING can be done to make you remove the sign!!
I wonder if these idiots realize that laws like this only encourage law abiding people to move OUT of their city…. and encourage criminals to move INTO the city to prey on the disarmed citizens. After all, criminals tend not to give a crap if they’re breaking a gun law while they’re killing and robbing people.
So Remington and Hi-Point are magically on this patently absurd unsafe list but Glock is not? Soo only perfectly safe American made guns which create American jobs are unsafe? Who performed these suspect mysterious and likely bogus tests? Nice going Chicago! The exact opposite of the rest of the world. They place hostile trade practices against us so we might as well place them upon ourselves too.
WTH? How am I supposed to know if my Smith & Wesson 4046 has a spur trigger? It has the kind when I squeeze it the round goes bang. Idiots.
Could we please start a list of police officers that are ‘unsafe’ for the good citizens of Chicago? Does enough memory exist in the computer world to store this list?
Boycott Chicago! Refuse to visit this city for any reason! The truth is, it does not matter what brands are or are not on this list! What matters is the City of Chicago has spit on the Constitution and the second ammendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
If the people of Chicago can’t or are unwilling to rise up and take back their city, they are as guilty as those who spit on their rights! So I ask the rest of the country to stop doing buisness with Chicago based companies and tell them why! Stop going there to see the sights, or get pizza, or a hot dog, don’t even stop there to take a piss! If the people are backed into a corner enough, caused by the actions of the corrupt system they allow, maybe the rest of the nation can force them to act. If you live in Chicago, take action, move out of the city, or take it back! STOP BEING COWARDS!!!! Absolute power corrupts, don’t let the communists in Chicago have that power, because they may not just spit on you next time! It may be worse!
Well I guess I’m good to go with my Barrett .50 caliber. I did not see Barrett listed and I can tell you that would have NO sporting use at all. Why not just buy the same type of weapon that the LEO’s carry? Are those unsafe as well?
daly is out , their is one as mayer of chi. that is far worse, rhom emmanual,he is going to make daly look like a boyscout leader
Funny, but in the great city of Chicago, makers of quality firearms for many years have called it home. Chicago arms is listed in this garbage list as well. Any self respecting arms manufacturer still located there should pack up and move to a more gun friendly state, and see how Chicago does without their tax base revenue!
How much do you want to bet that chicago uses Glocks, HK, or Smith and wession for thier duty weapons the mfgs that make money from the City goverment.
I don’t think the city tested everything I think they collected rumors of gun problems.
Would my sks and any ak’s be ok?
Yea Red Jacket didn’t make the list so that means the suppressed shotguns are ok to carry in chi right as long as the org. makers aren’t on the list
Based on typical Chicago politics, this is could easily be a list of manufactures that didn’t pay someone on the city payroll to exclude their company.
Are water pistols and paintball guns ok? Oh yeah, the Star trek Phaser is not on the list! Someone is not doing a very good job! Actually, I own 2 High Points, one 40 cal. hand gun and a Carbine rifle. Have never had a problem with either after to many rounds to track. Maybe they need to outlaw drugs instead. Obviously they are still available.
ONLY LAW AND CRIMINALS ARE CARRING GUNS NOW THATS = A TERRORIZING THOUGHT I THINK CRIMINALS WILL THINK MORE THAN ONCE WHEN THEY GO TO ROB /RAPE/OR BUTALIZE SOMEONE WHEN THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEATHER THEIR VICTUM IS CARRING A GUN TO PROTECT THEMSELVES NOW AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT ON THE POLICE WHICH ARE NEVER THERE UNTIL ITS TOO LATE
I FEEL I SPEAK FOR MOST ALL MISSISSIPPIANS THEY WILL TAKE OUR GUNS WHEN THEY PRY OUR COLD DEAD HAND FROM AROUND THEM
leave one of the governers family get rob or rape or a home invation them they may wake up and see there is the reason to keep guns in the honest person hands all the time they worry about the good guys having guns why dont they make laws on the criminal more stiffer and punish them hard i have my carry and consealed license my wife ask me why i need guns i told her as long as we have neighbors we need to keep a gun not all neighbors are bad but you never know what they are doing behind close doors
OK.. This seals it for me.. I am about to embark on my new career.. I figure home invasions will be much safer for me in Chicago now as opposed to down here in The Heart of Dixie. Maybe I should send a nice Thank You basket to City Hall for making my new job that much easier for me… God bless you Mayor Daley and the Chicago Police Department, I look forward to doing business in my soon to be new home town…
I stumbled across this site via a link from Hi-Point’s website. Sorry to bring an old thread to the surface, but I feel compelled to comment.
MOST (not all) of the firearms on this list are inexpensive, and are more easily affordable to those with low incomes.
Chicago seeks to keep firearms out of the hands of the poor and the working class because that group of people is the most dangerous to the gov’t and the powerful elite. The politicians, the elite, the Banksters, etc. are the same people who have been slowly but diligently working to destroy the middle class.
THAT is the reason these weapons are on the list; Chicago is afraid of an armed uprising by people who would otherwise not be able to afford a firearm.
Thank god for the Louisiana Castle Doctrine. I am allowed to own any damn thing I want up to a fully automatic weapon and explosives (bombs etc). I wish everybody would model the gun laws in Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia. If everybody carried there would be no gun crime. If you think I’m wrong just look at New Orleans a few years ago when Louisiana made your car an extension of your home and car jackings went down in New Orleans substantially.
we being from old new england having started the american revolution
will never give up a firearm peacefully only after all barells and ammo are gone and after we throw the wasted carcas of the gun at the agressors will we surender our unalienable right to own a high point or ruger or smith and wesson thank u chicago stay vigilant cause we nknow that we cant fix stupid or mayor daley 1 2 3 4 or how ever many u be …..
Being from Wisconsin that doesnt surprise me coming from a bunch of flatlanders. A few years ago in Milw. the city tried to ban transportation of firearms through Milw. county (legally cased or not, on the interstate also). The people stood up to them and the Feds. said no way. What happened to the people of illinios????? TO THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPT……………………………………………………………………………………………REALLY????? You tested all of these? Or did you confiscate them from criminals who obtained them illegally? Is that how you got the list? REALLY?? The only unsafe guns are ones that malfunction (fix it) or in the hands of “idiots” (hard to fix that) Put blame where blame is due.
WOW, if I felt like it (and had my brain removed), I could move to Chicago. My Taurus PT-145 isn’t listed.
Seems more like a case of economic racisim in the making. Most of these guns due to the initial cost, are more apt to be owned by the less fortunate in our society. Does the color of a person need to be the determining factor in firearm ownership?
I’m happy I live in the south, we outgrew these problems a long time ago. This decision allows only those of the “Selected Class” the opportunity to partake in the American experience, the rest of you shall remain as subjects, not freemen as the Constitution prescribes.
Hey Chicago political machine,
Let me put it in the most precise terms as possible as no one has written this yet……..F*** YOU!!!!
Sincerely,
RJ Smith
Typical elitist libs. If you can’t keep arms away from everyone, you better keep them away from the common man. The majority of the arms on the list are reliable and AFFORDABLE. That is what scares the corrupt politicians.
Saiga isn’t on the list either. So my pistol gripped tactical railed withred dot, laser and drum mag is ok?
Oh, I forgot, the Latin Kings and the Gangster Disciples got it declared “Safe.”
No, this is worse than the People’s Rpublic of California!
Californi’as gun laws are conradictory, goofy and very stupid in a more consistant way than this!
Why did everybody fail to notice that these are mostly hand gun manufacturers? Also, yea they are trying to keep the affordable ones banned. I am glad I don’t live in the city. I pack heat everywhere I go except court or the bank and these idiots won’t tell me any different. Bad guys beware: I shoot first then ask questions!
Read the list. They are trying to get around the antique ‘no permits required’ laws. They got most but not all antiques.
No one should list the ones they missed (I own many on the list and many they left off and I’m not going to help them expand their list by telling what they missed. They will figure it out soon enough once fools bring those variants in for ‘registration’).
This will fail if challenged by the NRA lawyers in court as it is a clear attempt to render Federal law impotent.
I live in New Jersey which is stricter that the average state, but what the Flock? These guys must of had a party in the police evidence room and put all the drugs up their noses when they made this law up. Smith & Wesson makes high quality guns, except for the spur trigger model guns? Come on these people don’t have brains, they are insane.
If I were a name on the list I’d contact as many of the others as I could and bring a class action suit against the city to either provide evidence of why they are unsafe, or repeal the law. The right to bear arms includes which weapon you prefer.
Beware… if it happened there it could be coming to your town…
Having lived in N.J. for 50 years and dealt with their insane pistol purchase permits, it will occur faster than you think Roger. Moved to Minnesota last May after state police told local p.d. to find reason to deny pistol purchase permits for my wife and I. Move out and turn off the lights and bring the flag.
