Optics Planet no longer selling Mags greater than 10rd

Gary, Indiana would be a Free State at negligible additional commute-time...

Hello Wisconsin!!! Plenty of factory space in Janesville, bar on the premises as well...

I hope they make the move.

OP is only a reseller, not a manufacturer, though.

I'm skeptical of their official statement.

I go out of my way never to buy from those assholes. I ordered two items in the past and found out a week later they were no longer in stock and didn't know when they would get some.

I don't do business with companies who advertise in stock items and have no stock.

There are a ton of better options out there than this crew.

I quit dealing with them years ago. It took them two weeks to deliver to Central Indiana (202mi.) and then they lied about the fact they sent it to the East Coast and then back to Indiana.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish."

Time to do what every OTHER American trapped in Hellinois has done - emigrate to the United States!

Is it not true? I can't find any standard cap mags on their site

I posted this screenshot in the deleted thread last night. Dvor, a subsidiary of OP, is currently selling 12 & 15 PPQ mags.

What led to it being deleted? Are they a site sponsor?

Not entirely sure why.

Here’s OpticsPlanet’s official statement:

When there’s smoke, there’s often fire. But sometimes – smoke is just smoke.

We fully understand how the email featured in the article on The Truth About Guns suggests that we may have made a decision to limit the sales of magazines over 10 rounds due to the recent tragedy in Parkland, Florida. Before we go any further, we want to make it clear that our condolences go to the families of all of the victims, and that our hearts go out to a community trying to recover after a senseless event.

At OpticsPlanet, we have never used the inflamed tensions and emotions of current events to drive decision making. Our support of the 2nd amendment is made undeniably clear by the products we offer. We are one of the few online retailers who never stopped offering completely legal products such as bump stocks or binary triggers, when many did. We do not raise prices during frenzies. We do, however, follow the laws and make adjustments when legally required.

In this case, insufficient internal communication led to a misread message. We are not offering magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds to the general public due to our location in Northbrook, Illinois, and local laws that limit our ability to sell these. Being an internet retailer serving fifty states can be complex at times, and frankly, our location in Illinois only adds to this complexity. We may not always like the law, but we need to follow it.

We own up to the fact that we did not explain this well internally, which led to an unclear message given to the customer, but we can completely repudiate any notion that this is a reaction to any recent event or the political climate. Unfortunately, our loyal customer base is best served by purchasing their magazines from retailers in “free” states. This issue is currently out of our hands. We’re committed to working hard to retain your business for everything else you need.

It’s unfortunate that this issue has created so much confusion, and we apologize for not providing clearer messaging in the first place. We continue to support our passionate customer community as we have for the past eighteen years in every way we can.

I have had issues with OpticPlanet in the past, one experience was very frustrating, but that didn't stop me from price matching and getting a discount on an APL from them this last week.

Thanks for the insightful update. However, I hope they can move soon to get some freedom back.

ETA: My bad experience at opticsplanet was buying a rail. I price matched a UTG 2 piece drop in fsp cutout quad rail.

Before I even got the package, I had one charge for 70 and another for 96 dollars. The stock cost of he rail. When I called them, to ask why, they explained they accidentaly shipped out two in my box, so they "had to charge me for it". When I explained to them that it sounds more like they hoped I would just buy two and that they charged me more for the accidental one. They then offered me 10 percent off for it to keep it. Uhhhh, hello, 9 dollars off 96 is not 70. No, I want a shipping label. To which they finally emailed me to ship back.

Felt like I was being conned before I even opened the box.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen standard capacity Glock mags on their site? If I recall, they only had he 10 round versions.
