Taking a handgun to and back to Canada

[Canuck44]

Thegood news is the process is easy and fast. The bad news is if it it is easy and fast you have to why it is necessary in the first place. I'll deal with it this summer when I go south for my annual run of NW shoots. With any luck all this will be gone.

Take Care

Well, at least the process is fairly simple and quick.
I sent email request to setup my account on Sunday night, got response on Monday morning and setup the account and got my permit this morning.

The degree of bureaucracy is ridiculous. As I have a US place where I winter, I just decided to keep my Canadian firearms in Canada and have built up a US collection that I keep locked up - even though there's no such storage requirement. Even under a democrat White House, the firearms freedom in the US is refreshing compared to the insanity in Canada. I'm now a member of the AR-15 club and my treasured new US staple hasn't even hinted at going on a spree of any kind! Who'd a thunk even the most "evil" of guns can be so harmless (in responsible and background-checked hands) after all!

You can also use https://www.armalytics.ca to lookup the FRT numbers yourself, assuming you know the correct variant of your handgun

interesting that in the FRT I downloaded it doesn't show the OR option anywhere in the Shadow II group. Only CZ I can find with OR is the P10F

I'm not the RCMP's FRT group, but I'd say that likely it's irrelevant. Using the Stock II / Stock II Optic as an example (because I have them on hand) - if you take all the information required for the FRT - Markings measurements, etc.
There's nothing that would identify the Optic from the Iron sight version. The Stock II Optic just says "Stock II" on the slide. It's sort of like the fact that the FRT isn't concerned about the finish - Chrome, Blue, etc.

The FRT folks might add it into the "AKA" list for the FRT. Optic or OR is really just an option on the same gun rather than a different model in their definition of model.

In looking at the FRT I wonder if anyone really has any idea of what they are doing in there, some guns have variants listed with separate FRNs others don't. It's weird.

So long as there's an FRT to register the gun to so it could get to a customer - I was happy. It's not like the FRT matters to anyone except the RCMP.
I will say that whenever I had to request a new FRT or FRT Child; the staff in that office were very helpful. I usually got them pretty quick for new gun models.
