Good Luck you won’t get that gun approved by the CFO. Even though you have the exemption letter. That’s not a pistol used in competitions.

Big if true

Exactly. The exemption letter comes from the SFC not a provincial body (BC or Ont) and requires proof of training, competition results, membership at a club etc. Nothing the OP posted rings true. But it’s nice to have dreams.

BC Target Association is apparently issuing exemption letters, where as Ontario and other provinces likely need to go through SFC.

The real question is what's Alberta going to do... I'd be interested in pursuing this.

Interesting. Although I would believe their requirements are similar to SFC. Not just a promise to use the pistol appropriately lol.
