For Albertans, we can get em if we shoot IPSC too. Interviewed a company that's doing that last night on Slam Fire Radio: https://www.slamfireradio.com/episode-654-handgun-lending-with-p3/

Interesting, how did that work? IPSC was specifically excluded by the Federal Government as an exemption granting body?

Also, I think exemption is only for .22LR, not exactly an IPSC caliber?

Not just 22, full power 9mm if you want.

You know, I'm somewhat of an Albertan myself (I am though I need this)

There is a revolver division.

P3 owns the gun and lends them out to shooters.

It is, there is a small caliber handgun rule book, just no one setting matches here for it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yNy2qRrA0NmTHd9z039T2r3kgTxIyzH5/view?usp=drive_link

Haven't had time to watch yet, is P3 loaning guns or are they hosting Olympic matches so people get exception letters?

Commercial loaning. They're one of 4 companies in AB set up for it right now (I think Phoenix and Straight Shooters are also setup but they're doing it as at-range only).

You need: RPAL, shooting range membership, Black Badge (can take after getting your handgun)

Commercial loaning

We need something like that in Ontario. I don't feel comfortable asking acquaintances to borrow their handgun.

u/DougMacRay617 May 14 '26

Does the commercial loaning allow you to take it home?

u/thehuntinggearguy 3gun, Mapleseed, YouTuber, SlamFire Radio, Revolver-hater May 14 '26

P3's allows you to take it home.

Sounds like loaning

So it’s down to the provincial CFO to be willing to grant exemptions? Why wouldn’t Ontario do the same? I legit want to get into IPSC and IDPA as badly as I do Olympic pistol disciplines

u/thehuntinggearguy 3gun, Mapleseed, YouTuber, SlamFire Radio, Revolver-hater May 14 '26

Why wouldn’t Ontario do the same?

Because Ontario's CFO sucks and Alberta's doesn't?

u/Tamination May 14 '26

Just Alberta?

I hear there are some companies in Saskatchewan doing this as well.

Interesting I’ve been thinking about ISPC, but thought mini rifle and shotgun were all I could get now.
