colt commander barrel length legal?

[ShowNoMercy]

Hi everyone! Would like to buy older colt combat commander when I get my restricted license.( 3 months wait so far) Is commanders barrel length legal? I know it's 4 1/4 inches, not sure what that is in millimeters though. Help, I really hope this fine firearm is not prohibited for being a mm or two too short! Thanx for responses ahead of time!

108mm. 105mm limit. Should be good. I'd check the FRT numbers.

105mm is 4,134" or about one-eighth inch over four (really closer to 17/128). Anything over 105mm by just a hair is legal.

Quick question, would 105 be illegal, but 106 legal, or would 105 be legal and 106 obviously legal too?

Criminal Code Part III Section 84(1):

“prohibited firearm” means (a) a handgun that (i) has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length.

If the barrel measures exactly one-oh-five point zero zero zero zero [and so on] millimetres, it is Prohibited.

Any measurable amount over 105mm is good.

Usually you will see manufacturers make their barrels clearly over the limit (107-8mm), but if one measures, say 105,187mm the Registration Certificate will round it up to 106mm.
