Beretta Px4 .45ACP -Legal in Canada!?

just to clarify, the 45acp version does not need a different barrel ? the factory barrel it comes with is legal lenght in canada ?????
if so i just wet myself

and for those who care, i was reffering to the 45acp version not the 9mm or 40, because the 45 is a bit bigger and bit longer so the barrel is like 106mm or 105.6 or something like that. and i hadnt heard if it had been classified as prohib or restricted as i know the 9mm and 40 are prohib unless you get one with a longer barrel (ie questar) im not a fan of the extended barrel. so being as if the 45 is restricted without having to change the barrel. im all over it.

If you do get clarification from redleg, please post it here so that the good news might be shared by all.

If this Edmontonian can legally get a factory barreled Px4 .45 it would cross off an important part of his "must have" list...
 
This is the weapon all our Canada Customs tax collectors....I mean Bored-r guards will be armed with.
As soon as they pass Qual, that is.
 
no they get the 9mm version .. a tiny bit smaller . and a tiny bit shorter barrel.

but redleg said he had these in the past .and they are restricted with the factory barrel. now the hard part is getting one.
 
I think there is some confusion here. Please correct me if I am wrong. But the PX4 comes in a .45. It has a 105 mm barrel. One mm. short of the restricted status. I called Stoeger last year. They said the Type F 45 was prohibited and could not be imported into Canada. They said there is a big shortage of the SD pistol and that will not be coming to Canada.

The PX4 SD (special duty) come with a 115 mm barrel length. This protrudes.

Did the Shooting Edge bring in a SD from a dealer in the States?
 
good question , i was under the impression that the standard px4 type F was just a smidge over 105 ,,which classifies it as restricted the SD model has a super long barrel sticking out the end which isnt the one ive been talking about.
because keep in mind the 9mm and 40 have a much shorter barrel than the 45, and this 45 model didnt come out till a few months ago, quite a bit after when 9 and 40 were launched.


REDLEG, which one did you bring in .. the SD or type F with the standard length barrel ?
 
because Beretta and Beretta USA have their heads so far up their own asses, they can't even measure stuff for Stoegers to show that it is legal for import. Perfect example, my 8045 Cougar with the LAPD barrel. totally legal as it's over 105mm, but according to Beretta it's not. It took me 3 years to get that one sorted out.
Stoegers tries and tries and tries, but BUSA and Beretta just make things difficult for them.

There are restricted FRT #'s generated for the PX4 45 (NOT SD)standard length barrel and guns in country registered as such. Now it's up to Stoeger to realize this and bring them in and I heard they were.
 
hey slavex , that 8045 is on my list, didnt you just get questar to bring it here for you ? did it take you that long to get the gun, or from the time you got it . to sort it out ? wouldnt you just have to bring it here and before anything have it verified ? isnt it that simple ? (meaning not have to deal with what beretta or stoeger says)

oh btw how do you like it ? (lapd 8045)

and to the px4,, im glad to hear there are some standard f models with normal barrel here in canada. if anyone on here has one. please speak.
 
Have you guys seen the price of 45? Kidding - we all know it's horrendous. That would be totally highjacking this thread. I bought the 9mm with the aftermarket barrel and it's been as reliable as my Glocks so far. I just wish the sights were true night sights.
 
I'm resurrecting this old thread because I'm a bit confused.

I'm looking at the FRT. The 45 ACP Px4 Storm is listed as a 105 mm - prohibited. The only restricted Px4 45 has a "non commercial customization" ie) aftermarket barrel.

The Px4 SD is restricted, but it also has a barrel that sticks out ~1 cm.

So I'm not seeing how any factory Px4 45's are restricted and not prohib. What am I missing?

Apparently the .45 (NON SD MODEL) has a 106mm barrel, slightly longer than the 9mm and .40 model.

Beretta's own website claims 102mm. :confused:



And just as a side note, what a pain in the ####ing ass it is to sit here and squabble about 3-4 ####ing millimeters. What a joke. Like the "lawmakers" seem to think that a gun with a 106mm barrel is somehow more lethal then a gun with 102mm.

O.K., here's some useful information. I just looked through the manual for a PX-4 type F 9mm and the Beretta manual claims a barrel length of 105mm for the PX-4 .45 Auto.

The smallest HK P7M8 or whatever it is has a total barrel length of 105.xx mm and they were allowed to be imported, so I'm assuming that because of a total length of 105mm for the .45 Auto PX-4 that it would fall under the same ruling of rounding up to 106mm and legal for sale in Canadistan.

If the barrel length is actually 105, then using the canadian method of measuring with a rod down the barrel would likely give the extra length to 106. That would make sense. However, there is no FRT # for a 106 mm.

Unless of course I'm missing something. I hope I am missing something because these guns would be easy to get right now.
