Feets / Collection / My build New exempted pistol has arrived! (BC)

Super excited that my first exempted pistol has finally arrived after ordering it beginning of June.

Shoutout to BCTSA, IRUNGUNS, and funny enough, the Federal Firearms office in Miramichi NB, for helping make the process as seamless as can be (in our current firearms climate).

Feel free to ask any questions on the process and I’ll do my best to reply/DM. :)

Edit: everyone that’s requested a DM, I will absolutely get to all of you later tonight or tomorrow! :)

My apologies for forgetting, there’s been a lot of questions and comments today haha. I would recommend going for it man! It’s a great avenue to get a pistol

No need to apologize, you're helping a lot of people! Looking forward to it. Looking at a few, possibly a sig that is convertible to 9mm with a slide swap. Mmmm. Just need to wait for my rpal to come back. Should've added it to my license when I took the course in 2016, but a fool I am.

If you do find a supply of sigs that’s convertible, let me know! Those are a hot commodity right now haha

I know you can apply through BCTSA which is a bit easier, but I’m not aware of such organisation in AB. Would you elaborate plz?

There is an AB organization they’ve just been hesitant to issue letters unless you have match results - which means you need to attended the handful of yearly events around the Calgary area with loaner handguns available.

AB is easy? Currently trying to do it and it is not that easy! No many matches to compete in.
