Buying handgun magazines from America

[Conradshooter]

With the current shortage of magazines in Canada has anyone bought 10 round magazines from the US and shipped them over? Maybe Google has steered me wrong but I don’t see why this can’t be done but also don’t want to end up on a list of some sort…

I got some at Brownells. They have section for stuff that can be shipped internationally.

Are magazines considered firearms parts though? I'm in the same boat trying to find some magazines for my p30 and there's nothing in Canada.

Irunguns, you can order off their US website, they seem to always have harder to find magazines

The exporter must be licensed (by the U.S. government), the manufacturer must be licensed (by the U.S. government), and the export must be reported (to the U.S. government). Beyond that, the exporter must be allowed by the manufacturer to make the export.

Thanks for the replies. I am definitely going to check out those options!

I imported a couple m&p mags from brownells, although that was a number of years ago...

CBSA seems to arbitrarily cease packages with ANYTHING firearm related inside. They recently held magazine baseplates for over 2 months! I had to open a case to expedite the release.

I just ordered a Challenger mag from Numrich.

Can you link this section? Anyone can give a quick breakdown of how to order into canada from brownells and also how it is compared to irunguns?

Why not just go to their web site?

What he said. I'd like to know too. All I could find was a link to a faq for international buyers but not specific products that can be bought for Canada.

If you take a look at what you are interested in and then go to the special filter you will see a selection for "available outside USA.". I'm assuming this is what everyone is referencing.

This is exactly how you know what they can ship outside of the USA. The filters are on the left side of the screen - mag capacity, make, ship outside USA - that kind of thing.

For anyone else looking

Thank you big boom, Armourall and machohugeaxe.

Just curious, for a 20-Round PMag, how do they know it's ok to ship to your country?
I don't think this would be legal in Canada, unless it's pinned.

BTW, I tend to get my mags through IRG. They will pin them appropriately at no charge.

Brownells has shipped me magazines. You can select the option on the website to show what can be exported without additional permits.
