Hi, I am in Nova Scotia and am a bit confused about the process for purchasing a hand gun. I have a current PAL(R) and am in the process of joining an approved gun club. This is where the confusion enters. The gun is in Newfoundland and this will be my first restricted firearm purchase. Any clarification on the order of procedure for dealing with the registration, obtaining an ATT and expediting this purchase would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;
Earl

Step 1: Join an approved shooting club.

If you have not yet decided on a club, your CFO can help you identify an approved shooting club in your locality. When you have joined the approved shooting club, the club will explain - step-by-step - the process that you should follow.

Step 2: Pay the Seller.

The Seller will initiate the transfer by calling the 1(800) 731-4000 number. The Seller will be provided with a Transfer Reference Number. The Seller will then provide you with the Transfer Reference Number so that you may then call 1(800) 731-4000 and complete your portion of the transfer.

Step 3: Complete the transfer.

Call 1(800) 731-4000 and complete your portion of the transfer. The RCMP-CFP will forward the file to Halifax, to the CFO. The CFO will confirm your status (e.g.: a bonafide member of an approved shooting club) and then - usually - sign off on the transfer. In time, the transfer will be approved and the RCMP-CFP will notify the parties involved. Once the transfer has been approved, any individual who is going to physically move the restricted firearm from where it is (to where it is going) will require an Authorization To Transport (ATT) from his/her provincial CFO.

Step 4: Telephone your CFO to obtain a short-term ATT.

Once the transfer has been approved, any individual who is going to physically move the restricted firearm from where it is (to where it is going) will require a valid Authorization To Transport (ATT) from his/her provincial CFO. This may be obtained by contacting your CFO, and it may be issued immediately, over the telephone or by facsimile.

Step 5: Apply for a long-term ATT.

Using the proscribed form, apply to your CFO for a long-term ATT. This may take weeks to process. The completed Authorization is usually mailed to you. And, in Nova Scotia, each time you buy or sell a restricted firearm your long-term ATT may be amended and a new Authorization, with a new number, may be mailed to you.

well i've done a lot of research online and they seem to be the most consistently positively reviewed handgun under $1000. i have heard of some recoil spring issues with the gen 4 so i would probably go with a gen 3.

a number of folks are telling me to go with a .22 but those just don't appeal to me at all. 9mm rounds although not cheap are less expensive than .45,.40 or .38. those were my main deciding factors. but if a glock dont feel right in my hands no matter what anyone says i wont buy it. tha'ts why im also considering a beretta 92fs.

I shoot mostly service rifle, and precision rifle, but also muck about with some handgun stuff. I also reload, and have about 3-4 different presses setup in the shop(s).

Thanks Wendell. I kind of lost track of this post but the info is appreciated. I have joined a club, (C'ptn Kid Rod & Gun), and have tried out a couple of hand guns. Also had my Marlin 39A out to see how it shoots.
