Air pistols in Canada?

So lame that this needs an RPAL... I mean, couldn't they just make pellet pistols non-restricted?... what... the... hell.

This is becoming over complicated. All I am trying to find out is if an airgun over 500fps in the form of a handgun would be considered a restricted gun here in Canada? Forget the import/export stuff. Are all air guns over 500fps lumped together as firearms or are rifles and handguns classed the same as "real" firearms.

Over 500fps its a firearm pistols would be restricted and you will need a PAL to posses,I hope this helps

I just encountered this while I was Stateside for the weekend. The Crosman 1377 they sell in the U.S is rated @ 600fps...yet the same exact pistol here in Canada has been detuned to 495fps. Its funny how some of us airgun guys will spend and extra $100 on aftermarket parts to squeeze and extra 3-4fps out of a $70 Crosman 1377.....but the same exact unit in the States will rock a squirrels world right out of the box

Few cents, not $100. Lots of info on the web.

I would love that Maurader pistol though. Check out the Rogue, .357 cal pcp airgun. The thing kills deer with no prob.
 
Sound moderators on airguns are permitted/encouraged in most of Europe as to not disturb the public. Canada's gun laws make about as much sense as banning mufflers on cars so the pedestrians can hear you coming! Harold
