4" revolvers legal?

[vitriol]

I just saw that wholesale sports has some 4" revolvers (like a s&w 629) on their website. How can these be legal in canada?

If 4" revolvers can be bought in Canada I want one!

Sure, just get 12(6) printed on your licence.

it is legal for Wholesale to catalog them, since everyone, including teh CFC knows WSS doesn't actually have anything they catalog

Bingo....

you need to investigate further-it's common for wholesale sports to have 'MISTAKES' throughout their catalogue,why should the website be any different?-besides, in a 4 inch tube the 44 is going to be a bear on a smith
they don't allow allow barrels of under 105 mm as they fall into the prohiibited catagory-so wholesale couldn't get them across the border anyway

I think (not sure) that you can't buy any new 12(6) guns, only those who were in circulation when the law passed.


Maybe some 4" models are actually a bit longer than 4" ?

Maybe it'S a 5'' model ?

I think that they just used the picture without thinking about it, as others have said, other than for issue handguns for government agencies 12(6) handguns cannot be legally imported.

that was funny and accurate

I called Wholesale about the 4" models way back... mistake in catalog (was actually a 6" model or something stupid like that).




Now, the shortest barrel'd (i.e. Canada Legal - Retail) revolver I know of is the S&W 460V 5" model... it was restricted, then prohibited for 3 months, then restricted again. The barrel is something like 105.6mm

If I could get a revolver I'd be tempted for this model.

12-6 on your rpal and your golden. if you don't have it now, i doubt you ever will. stick to non-prohibs.

Not really, I have a few of them, and some 3" ones as well. Practice, practice, practice. - dan
