Handguns have to be shipped through an FFL holder or sold face to face. If you buy something over the internet, most gun shops, gunsmiths, or pawn shops will recieve it for you for a small fee. Usually you send a money order and copy of the FFL and they ship the gun when they recieve payment. As far as websites www.gunsandammo.com is one. Depending on what you're looking for there is an "OSO" for every type of pistol. www.glocktalk.com and www.1911forum.com are two that come to mind. Hopefully the links work, can't access them from work to double check. But any message board will have gun classifieds where you can find good deals.

Most will only ship to a FFL dealer.

Any gun dealer will have an FFL. Pretty sure its a federal crime to ship a handgun person to person without an FFL. Not sure about Illinois but down here it is legal to do a face to face transaction with no records or FFL needed....
