You basically can’t buy a handgun in BC anymore — everywhere is sold out. Any idea if any stores are gonna bother with restocking?

I got a restock notice g4cgunstore.com for a CZ Shadow 2 yesterday. Within minutes it was sold of course, but it looks like restock are still happening, for now...

Small anecdote if that helps

It does. I’m gonna call my local. I was just looking to get a beretta 92. I saw six in stock at my local the day the ban was announced and for some reason didn’t buy it immediately. Now everything is out of stock )(except for a shadow but that’s outside of my budget).

Yeah things are pretty crazy for Beretta 92s and Glock 17s to be out of stock.

If it's a small consolation, my very first handgun was a 92G, and honestly it was pretty expensive for what it was (almost unchanged from the original 92). I wish I would have got a used one, these things are tanks anyway. So yeah unless you really want it new, I think you'd be able to get a used one on the cheap pretty soon after the whole panic buying calms down.

Depends on what you’re looking for. Prophet River said they are getting some stuff and should be posted now on their website for glocks and rugers. Tenda had a lot of stuff avail until late last night
