Well I did it

The first time is always hard, so they tell me; after that it is easy, O, we are talking guns, ist time transfer is a few days to a few weeks.
second time around , transfer time about 36 hrs.
I would look at a quality 22rf, steel, not plastic or alu.
 
Congrats. Great choice! Shadows are awesome to shoot. Almost like point and shooting. Better make room in the safe for more to come. ha!
 
Yer positively f--ked now! You will love that pistol - great trigger for the price point.

One is never enough (and I'm waaaay ahead of you in tattoos as well, lol) :dancingbanana:

That's the adrenaline rush of the addiction. There is no escape because one is just never enough! Excellent choice btw.
 
Congrats on your first pistol from a fellow Shadow owner! As the others have said, it's your first pistol, definitely not your last :)

I would say welcome to your Gun Addicts Anonymous support group, but we're really more enablers here :) Meetings are at the range, 7 days a week.

:cool:Great selection. Start stock piling ammo. Read up a bit, order a few springs, aside from that I highly recommend the CZ Kadet .22LR conversion kit on the Shadow.

Thanks for the info and link MET.

Thanks for all the posters here. The entire process of buying restricted is really confusing for a first time buyer. I have to wait for the ATT (which the guy at Reliable Gun tells me is generic one not only for home-range-home), then for the gun ownership transfer document before picking it up and then some days later I get the registration certificate. And only then can I take it to the range. I wonder how they allow me transport of it from the store to my home with a generic ATT, PAL and ownership document but no gun registration certificate yet?
 
OP, if you think the PISTOL was costly, wait until you start FEEDING it!!!! :p:p:p:p

I don't own one but have shot one, and it's a decent piece. Good luck with it and stockpile ammo and mags!!!

You can thank PM Harper and the CPC for that. Bill C-42, the Common Sense Firearms Act, basically says that you only need your RPAL, generic ATT (which should be part of your RPAL in the conditions section) and transfer approval to take it home from the dealer or Canada Post.

Agh man, I've seen the price of ammo. It's one of the reasons I didn't go with .40 S&W but 9mm in stead. Apart from the initial cost, does reloading yourself save you much money?

I reload, and in 9mm, I really don't save much money. The killer(s) for cost now are the bullets and powder. They used to be much cheaper (thanks to our once-strong beaver buck) but now it's kinda ouch!!

Keeping an eye out for sales of 9mm and stocking up when you can is a good way to go for 9mm. Other calibers, now that's a different story. (I reload for several other calibers, such as 45ACP, 5.56x45, .308 Winchester)

You can save significant money reloading for other calibers.
