hey, had a chance to fire this pistol unfortunatly it was through the military, just wondering the availabilty is for the firearm its self and the ammo, 5.7x28mm i believe. any imput is welcome.

thanks, tony.
 
Pistols can be had. Ammo when found, in Canada, quite expensive. :(

I've seen it for ~ $21 US for a box of 50 rounds at the big Bass Pro in South Las Vegas when I was down there awhile back. Too bad it's not easily exported to this country.

It is as easy to export to this country as any other ammuntion. I know personally. I am exporting 5000 rounds of 5.7x28 for a freind of mine.

Problem is nobody wants to import it for whatever reason. God knows why Questar who is selling all these PS90's and Five Sevens doesn't bother with the ammo. Bad business move on their part.
 
thank you all for your imput, this will help alot. so pretty much as long as you can make trips to the states you can bring back the legal limit of the ammo?
 
I have a five seven that I buy from Questar. I live in Quebec and to get the ammunition has reasonable price I had to go look at the Cabelas in Maine. You can import up to 5000 rounds without any import permits. The ammunition cost is 31$ Canadian Dollar with my gaz and customs charges included.

Dude, edit your post or this thread will be off topic for the next 8 pages.

They're not that hard to find, I have 2 of them, and 1 is a DOA model.... I guess it's a bit of a collectors item now.
 
Doesn't matter if he's Charlton Heston...he still can't leave the USA with no export paperwork for the ammo (unless he's using a loophole).

An american can leave the US with 1000 rounds for personal use without any paperwork.

He didn't say he didn't have the proper paperwork...
 
clarification

An american can leave the US with 1000 rounds for personal use without any paperwork.

He didn't say he didn't have the proper paperwork...

You're making the common error of confusing citizenship with residence...
An american RESIDENT can leave the US with 1000 rounds for personal use without any paperwork. And his post spoke only about the Canadian import regulations leading the rest of us to reasonably conclude that he was unaware of the USATF export regs.
:popCorn:
 
citizenship is not the disscusion, whatever he does on his time legal or illegal is none of our buisness. he said he gets the rounds, he didnt say how or by what means. so please stay on topic.

so those of you who have bought the five seven, how do you find it, accurate and reliable?

Your right.

"123. 17(c) Temporary export of firearms and ammunition for personal use -
U.S. persons may export temporarily not more than three non-automatic firearms and not more than 1,000 cartridges of ammunition provided that this is for the person's exclusive use and not for re-export or other transfer of ownership (i.e., firearms for use on hunting trips)."

US Persons is defined as:
" U.S. person means a person (as defined in § 120.14 of this part) who is a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). It also means any corporation, business association, partnership, society, trust or any other entity, organization or group that is incorporated to do business in the United States. It also includes any governmental (federal, state or local) entity. It does not include any foreign person as defined in § 120.16 of this part."

8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) defines a protected indiviudal as
"(3) “Protected individual” defined
As used in paragraph (1), the term “protected individual” means an individual who—
(A) is a citizen or national of the United States, or
(B) is an alien who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence, is granted the status of an alien lawfully admitted for temporary residence under section 1160 (a) or 1255a (a)(1) of this title, is admitted as a refugee under section 1157 of this title, or is granted asylum under section 1158 of this title; but does not include
(i) an alien who fails to apply for naturalization within six months of the date the alien first becomes eligible (by virtue of period of lawful permanent residence) to apply for naturalization or, if later, within six months after November 6, 1986, and
(ii) an alien who has applied on a timely basis, but has not been naturalized as a citizen within 2 years after the date of the application, unless the alien can establish that the alien is actively pursuing naturalization, except that time consumed in the Service’s processing the application shall not be counted toward the 2-year period"


Back on topic, I will be buying a FiveSeven shortly. I'm told it's a cool little gun. I need something for body armoured zombies :D
 
If you reload, you'd only need to get the brass shells for it, right? Any Canadian retailer sell them?


Primers, .224" bullets, powder, etc. can all be bought here.

Yes, exactly as you said. The primers used are smalls primer like those used for the 9mm and .224 bullets are very common in store and it's the same thing for the powder.
