Just got my PAL/RPAL issued (originally mailed in March) and have been looking for Glocks - specifically a 9mm G19 gen. 4 or 5. I’m located in the Toronto area. Any tips on locating one as most, if not all, sites are sold out? Are stores still importing handguns with the introduction of Bill C-21?

Arms East has 17s in stock unless you're stuck on 19s. I don't think area matters unless you want to handle one (kind of difficult currently), all the online retailers ship.

Are these guys legit? I was going through their website the other day and most of the pages/links seem broken. Thought it a bit odd they’re still selling G17s but haven’t updated their other stock in weeks.

Also if that doesn't work out, the most common in stock 9mm items out there seems to be Caniks of different types, CZ P-10, Walther PDP, worth taking a look in the same price range. Also if you're set on Glocks, shadow systems are in stock in places and I've been told they're Gucci glocks with higher price range. (Prophet River, Londero, Tenda are some retailers)

They are legit and responding to CGN as recent as a few days ago. No idea about the stock though, might want to give them a call or ask them on CGN.

Might be best buying a used G19.
