Any store or retailer listed on AlmostProhibited is legitimate. I find their search engine sometimes doesn't find everything that might be in the stores, but it does let you know which shops are real and which shops aren't.

I came here to say this also if they are on Canadian gun nutz they are legit to

Is it some of the Shopify retailers that are missing items?

Shopify has adopted some of the Web Bot Auth drafts that require bot crawlers to sign requests, so those retailers have been failing recently. A fix for that is in progress.

Hey, dev answer, awesome! Yeah, I think quite a few of them are shopify? I noticed it mostly with Reliable though since I use them to price check. They don't use shopify afaik but I noticed that the search doesn't catch a lot of their stuff for some reason.

Reliable is often flaky (ironic), but they've been tweaking some of their own stuff in the background to try to counter bots. Looking at options for them as well.

Everyone is being slammed by AI crawlers, so that impacts other "normal" bots as well :(

Ah that sucks. Still, thanks for your work in creating the website! Hopefully you figure out a solution to these issues.

Wow, I was permanently banned from Reddit for this previous comment.... Glad my appeal worked.

This why we have rule #6 (not that you violated it), to mitigate this kind of thing. Reddit's AI can be re🤪🤪ded...

If you go to CGN website, I think all the sponsors are good retailers.

You can also search the history of this sub as similar questions have brought up before and many people here give some good info regarding to most of the firearm stores in Canada.

True north arms, G4C, Tenda, and RDSC always treat me great.

Savage rimfire rifles are Canadian made, then ALL shipped to the U.S. then a few are shipped back...

I can see the plant from my dock near Lakefield, ON. Once Lakefield Arms which rose from the ashes of Cooey.

Maple Ridge Armory has earned a good reputation.

u/Remote_Mistake6291 Jul 31 '26

Gagnons, RDSC, Aztech Armoury, Canada's Gun Shop, Magdump, Tenda, Tillsonburg gun shop, Nine35, are all places I have ordered from with no issues.

u/Metalock Jul 31 '26

RDSC, Al Flaherty's, G4C

Only used them once but Reliable Gun was... well, reliable! Lol. Very fast shipping.

u/swhissell Jul 31 '26

I used to work at Bullseye North, Ramakkos, and Lefebvres, so obviously trust those. As a business, I’ve brought things in from Wolverine Supplies so I’d trust them. Tenda was our competition for a while back in 2016, so I guess they’re legit. Gobles and Oleys Armoury were also competitors, so same deal. I’ve been in person to Ellwood Epps so I would trust them too.

u/swhissell Jul 31 '26

Geez, can’t believe I forgot to mention Reliable Gun, bought my grail gun from them. Sorry guys!

Hi! It looks like your comment mentions buying, selling, or linking to retailers/private marketplaces.

He literally asked for recommendations for websites!

u/StairwayHiker Aug 05 '26

Don’t respond to this thread with a specific website…. My other account got permanently banned…. Lost my appeal which is a total joke.

u/AdeptArt Aug 05 '26

That’s what rule #6 exists for. In fact we tell you explicitly no links.

u/Remote_Mistake6291 Aug 05 '26

I was banned as well and it was removed after I appealed as well. No links posted, just retailers names.

2

u/AdeptArt Aug 06 '26

Let me discuss this with the mod team to see if rule 6 needs to be even stricter. Not trying to clamp down on free speech but this sucks for you both. Glad you got your accounts back.

2

u/Remote_Mistake6291 Aug 05 '26

Be careful people. I was banned for my above comment listing retailers in Canada. I appealed and the ban was removed. Second time. Maybe someone has it in for me, who knows but it is stupid. •
