Prophet River's Handguns and future shipments

PR is #1 ! I was able to get a Glock 48 for a normal price, they could have easily jacked up the price given the current situation. Excellent customer service and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them again. Transfer was just approved so should be taking the new toy to the range later next week or the following Monday.
 
I'll pm you so you don't we don't keep filling up a vendor forum anymore. Re read what I posted. I never insulted anyone. If there a temper issue it's pretty clear who has one "bro"

On another note I scored a FMK 9mm for under $500.00 . Under $600.00 with tax and shipping A great pistol and a fair price. As for transfers I have been on the fone for a week on and off to transfer x 5 pistols to the dealer with no luck. Meh!

On the other hand (don't give up hope!) i am expecting to see a surprising large number of NIB, since June 1 purchased pistols (for example I see a G17 up for about $2k), that, as we get closer to the transfer ban, the speculators may realize they are going to be sitting on some pews that are worth exactly $0 to them (or at least they can't turn them for a stupendous profit). Maybe it will be 'karmas a b###h', or maybe there will be a few people that get nervous around oct 4 and drop the price to "best offer" (and some may play chicken with when they think the ban will happen, which will result in a few getting hit by cars and a few dropping the price drastically right before it happens). Some guns will never drop in price (you'd be selling your firstborn to pay for what I'd be willing to accept to sell one of my G40s), and some other guns will drop back to earth-based prices once people realize the buying market is finite. There's always the unicorns (aka 10mm) that will get a premium. Just maybe not a 400% premium.

If you are buying, its time to stop kicking the tires (actually the time for that was June 1) and pull the trigger. For those sitting on restricted guns with the thought of making bank, the real question is, how brave you gonna be?

This post is bang on, I could not agree more.
I spoke to a PR employee who told me guys were buying G48's 10 at a time. If you are still looking for a G48 there will be chances to pick one up at decent prices on EE from guys feeling the pressure of the looming freeze and ugly credit card statements.
 
Just a heads up to people considering a last minute purchase, the govt has said (for what their word is worth) that they will process all transfers in the system once the ban is implemented. Once it hits October, you should give up on using the call in # (the 1-4-2 option) and switch to submitting the transfer application in written format (online/email/fax, whatever the form 5492 says), so that you have a confirmed delivery, because who knows how long the phone system will hold up. That means a completed form, with both the sellers and buyers info.

The reason a total ban wasn't dropped on us in June was the govt hasn't got the canadian dinars to pay the retailers for their remaining stock. That is mostly solved now, the greater portion of transfers is people doing private-private to finalize their collections. We saw the reaction to high gun sales in june/july- the bad faith 'import permit' system, which cut off another few tens of thousands of pews getting into canada during the aug to sept period. There's nothing to really stop them from dropping a ban on transfer applications at any time now (just because its not legal doesn't mean they won't do it). I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

So maybe download the 5492 now (who knows if there will be 'website issues' at an inopportune time) and be ready just in case a 629 hunter pops up for $500...

If someone spots a Beretta 92X compact please let me know. Thank you kindly.
 
Hi All

Firstly, P.R. is THE best place to buy and sell guns in Canada and the staff is second to none with their customer service and knowledge of the products and market conditions that are fair to both buyers and sellers. They have an incredible team.

As a retired "snow bird" who spends winters in Arizona, I go to more gun shops there locally there than we have in all of Canada. The shelves are bare. Asking prices in USD are over the top and everything sells in hours. I saw a worn out blued Python sell for $4000 USD in minutes of going on the shelf.

The slow walk the government is doing, is to allow us to get what we want (eventually with transfer times dragging).

Then after they shut down "in Canada" transfers, they will allow us to export fine items to the USA to sell there to an eager market there.

So, don't think that last minute tire kicking will get a deal. Guys selling high end collections will just divert them south to an eager market and the Current Eastern Government will love to get them out of the country. For a couple hundred bucks, the left overs will go south.

And support Prophet River and their Excellent Staff. They are world class.

after watching a negative review about the frame cracking(with no proof), then going to read the many comments about how awesome the BERSA thunder has been for many people, ordered. cant wait to try it out

Even the M9, CZ Shadow, and many high end 1911s such as the M45a1 have cracking issues. People don’t like to talk about it but it does happen, push any metal gun hard enough and you’ll eventually see cracks regardless of what gun it is.

Hey PR,
what’s the latest you are hearing from BC CFO?
My order was July 22 so just wondering what dates in BC u are seeing processed these days.
Thanks.

my guess would be late june, but many are calling in to skip the line. so they probably have approvals from june, july, and aug all randomly coming in.

I too have order from June and July. x4 pending from PR, x2 pending from elsewhere. Still nothing as of today Sept/12.
 
The cfo approval order seems to make little sense in BC. I have received un-prompted transfers from purchases as late as Aug 22 (in hand sept 1), and am still waiting on transfers from late june. Only reason that makes sense to me is if the transfer person was doing one, and just looked through to see what others are pending (because its faster to do multiple while on my file. Possible the june one has an error on the submission (Tenda... they haven't been able to adapt to the rush as well as others), or maybe I'm on a watch list and the RCMP are just hoping something goes off to justify more funding.

Mainly, transfers are like playing the lottery, you never know when your number will come up...
