Buy recommendations Retailers that still have target pistols?

I am in the market for a target pistol, especially a Ruger Mark IV.
Anyone got any leads on retailers that still have those?
Or does anyone know how's the import process with IRG?

All guns stores that previously sold pistols, still have them locked away out of sight. I’ve called around looking for a specific one I’ve been after and they are more than willing to look into their inventory and give you a price. Support your local gun shops!

Yes, I found one locally, decided to go with it even tho it was $400 above msrp better than irg as I still get warranty in canada with it.

That’s unfortunate to hear, the local shop I stopped at gave me a -$300 off the blue book price

Well I was naive & requested an exemptipn for mk IV, not knowing they are sold out everywhere. I found mk III & IIs way cheaper. The only mk IV I found was the 22/45 lite, although it is quite light, it will get me started for training. I plan on getting a walther gsp in future.
