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.
