What they forget to mention is that the exemption is only for .22 pistols and the market for .22 pistols is very slim and overpriced.

Yeah, this is completely brutal. I want a 9mm if I'm getting a hand gun. Lol

Is there a .50AE division? Asking for a friend

Ya how do I get a Deagle? Luckily I got a 1911 and some others before the nonsense

If they ever make 9mm or .45 handguns accessible in Canada again, a 1911 is top of my list

1911 in 10mm is what I would get if possible

There should also be a category for Taurus TX22's with forced reset triggers😉

SFC currently only issuing exception letters for 22, I think 17hmr (maybe it’s .177 air pistol >500 fps??) too but I’m not 100% sure about that. They’re not approving anything for centre fire afaik, even 32ACP, which is what we use for bullseye centre fire

How do you send the proof that you are practicing. Any help would be appreciated.

u/conanap May 22 '26

for practices, just write down your scores from each practice, put it in a document (I put it in a text file), and upload it.

For SFC sanctioned matches, you need to have the link to the results of that competition, and put it in the form.

Thank you and how long my training needs to be?

2

u/conanap May 22 '26

Mws. Training about a month (~4 entries) is what I was told. Personally I did about 3 months.

Having seen Yusuf Dikeç shoot I don’t think I would be competitive
