Just got my RPAL number from CFP this morning, today is hand gun shopping day!

Sincere apologies to my wallet, but Trudeau made me do it.

Edit: Picked up a CZ-P10F yesterday, called in this morning and updated my RPAL.

Picked up a Ruger Security Six on Friday, calling the store in BC to give them my RPAL today when they open.

Now just need to decide what I want to get for a double action pistol:

surplus Beretta 92s in very good condition, or

surplus CZ 75 in fair condition.

Or even the Tanfoglio Mossad.

Edit2: Decided on/bought the CZ 75 B surplus.

Going to try and pick up a 22LR pistol, we’ll see.

Hey, I also bought a p10f as a first purchase with only my number. I am trying to get my hands on another 9mm but the buisness is telling me they are getting an error message and might have to call it in? What do you mean you called in to update RPAL? Is there something I need to do after first purchase as well?

I didn’t have my RPAL # when I ordered yesterday, I just put in a place holder.

I called CFP this morning and got my license #, then called the store to update the RPAL #, and they will process it today.

If the store is getting an error on the portal then they will have to call into CFP. Hopefully portal is up and running without issues today.

Awesome man thanks I appreciate it! Yes hopefully it is.. but knowing OUR government they’re probably having issues, I wouldn’t doubt there’s a lot of transfers being initiated right now lol Good luck on your shopping spree!

You too! Just 1 more 9mm double-action pistol, but having a hard time deciding. If I didn’t already ordered a CZ P10-F then the CZ 75 would have been an easy choice. I want something else but CZ 75 is hard to pass up.
