I saw an Compact Inox on Gunbroker. So, there's no reason to not be able to get one in Canada. (using IRG or PR). Opening bid was only about USD$650, so it's certainly affordable.
I would really be interested in having one of these. I've never owned a Beretta before (always been a Colt/Sig guy).
I guess I'll just have to hunt around for online reviews.
