Application / Regulation advice Anyone still waiting for handgun transfer approvals for USA imports since July?

Is anyone still waiting for handgun transfer approvals for USA imports since July? Specifically referring to Olympic exemption 22LR letters already submitted for IRG orders.

Has anyone heard what is going on or the reason for the delays? The usual transfer approval timeline should be 2-3 weeks max once the letter is submitted to the RCMP. Without the transfer approval nothing can be imported or shipped. It usually takes 2 weeks for the approval and another 1 week to get the registration certificate mailed. For some it has been almost 2 months.

This is not true. SFC considered “tactical” 22lr handguns as beginner training guns. The more expensive stuff like pardini’s are for advanced shooters. This is why they issue exemptions for pretty much anything to get people into the sport affordably

Pardini's command serious coin. Kinda sad there isn't anything cheaper at that level.

A bunch of "tactical" 22lr are still much more precise than the shooter...technique is like 95% of the accuracy.
