I don't think this pistol would be good for competing but regardless you can train with any pistol with adjustable sights.
Red dot kinda dumps the whole idea of olympic training.
& if you check on laws on parl.ca, for a pistol exemption, we maybe asked to provide exemption letters every year
If you want a nice pistol that looks tactical & is reliable, I'd suggest a 22/45 lite, tons of upgrades available too
open sights should be allowed but you cannot use optics for training or competing at an olympic shooting club.
And regarding exemption letters
I'm quoting parl.ca
"Exception — handguns
97.1 Sections 12.2 and 19.1 do not apply in respect of an individual who
(a) holds an authorization to carry in respect of a handgun; or
(b) meets the prescribed criteria and annually provides a letter to a chief firearms officer from a provincial or national sport shooting governing body indicating
(i) that they are training, competing or coaching in a handgun shooting discipline that is on the programme of the International Olympic Committee or the International Paralympic Committee,
(ii) the disciplines in which they train, compete or coach, and
(iii) that the handgun in question is necessary for training, competing or coaching in those disciplines.
