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?

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.

Was your exemption for a Mark 4. Or Mark 4 22/45 specifically?

MK IV but the seller told me it doesnt matter 22/45 is a sub-model, same like the target, standard or competiton I requested for 22/45 but they just wrote Mark IV on the exemption letter
