Just got my RPAL and FOMO is hitting me hard. I placed an order a few days ago for a MP9 2.0 and now I’m tempted to buy a P320 as they are modular and optic ready (more importantly in stock).

Since I’m still waiting on the first transfer and first restricted paperwork/new card, would there be issues if I was to buy a second handgun already?

Nah your good, as long as you have your pal you can buy as much as you want regardless of when you got it. If not in Ontario just make sure you have a membership to a range, if in Ontario it doesn't matter then.

Just be prepared for the loooooooooong ass wait times for transfers currently. I have 4 in the pipes currently going on 4 weeks for the oldest one.

Edit: also forgot to mention, be ready for the transfer to take an extra while being your first restricted also. Your first restricted transfer usually takes a bit longer than anything after thay, but ymmv, maybe it's better than when I first got my rpal/restricted.

Thanks! Placed a second order once I saw the stock count plummet every time I refreshed the site.
