A new S&W keen from France

[Vernois]

Hello everyone,
I'm from France, from Burgundy to be precise.
I bought my first S&W 15 years ago, it was a 13-2 model in 4" square butt and since then I have two others, another 13-1 in 3" round butt like the FBI model and a 36-1 model in 3" round butt, it's my favorite!
My model 36-1, I installed Karl Nill pads which come from Germany and the handling has become fabulous !

Of course, I reload my cartridges in both 38Spl and 357 mag.

Best regards every one.

Welcome, my Uncle was from Normandy, my aunt and cousins live in Paris, Toulouse, and Marseille, my maternal grandparents are from Grenoble. Nothing like a nice revolver.

What kinds of hoops do French citizens have to jump through to own a firearm

It depends on the model.
We have four categories, I'll keep it simple. A-B-C-D
A. Totally prohibited war material
B. You must have been registered with a shooting club for more than a year!
B. Long guns or handguns with prefectural authorization after an administrative investigation!
C. Hunting weapons upon presentation of a shooting license
D. Free sale to anyone over 18 (old, but there are some very old guns before 1900).

Sorry if the translate is not very good, Google is not every time my friend
