My understanding is handgns with bbls at least 4" are legal in Canada, although I believe they must be registered. Not sure what their carry laws are, if any.

The only reason to own a handgun in Canada is 1- for the purpose of targetshooting, wich means you must belong to a registered shooting club, and are allowed only to travel from shooting range to your residence. 2- you are allowed to carry a firearm if you are a wildlife photographer,miner/prospector,work in the forestry field and trappers.You only can discharge your firearm if you are endangered of your life from wildlife etc. etc.
We are very much restricted in the use of handguns here in Canada, please don't take your rights there in the USA for granted, fight tooth and nail to keep and bear arms.We here in Canada are sick and tired of Liberal taking away our guns a little at a time.I have a saying criminals will not obey any law only the law abiding citizen follows these as we are of no danger to the public, therefore the goverment will only take my guns away from me in my dead cold hands, and start a war they will not be able to stop if this day comes to fruition.regards your northern neighbor and allie!!!

Onomea,

Actually it is 105 mm, just a touch longer than 4". When I shot competition in Canada, I had to leave my 4" at home and borrow an Mountie's "grandfathered" 4 incher. I also had to leave my 10+ mags behind and borrow 10 rounders for the auto matches. The shooters in Canada were very accomodating to me, and the paperwork and Canada Border Services hassel wasn't too bad as I had everything squared away before going in.

Handejector unfornunatly it does not have the Magna grips and adapter, im going to buy a repro from smith for the Magna's and hopefully someone here nose where I can find the grip adapter in a reproduction,thanks for the comments about our gunlaws in Canada, no we cannot carry handguns ever!!! to own a 32/25 calibre or gun with a barrell length 4" or shorter you must have had one in your possesion before 1995, if not to bad to ever own a nice 4",3-1/2",3",2-1/2",2",1-1/2" S&W, so I can only collect and shoot guns over 4" not including.Take care my American Allies, Dale in Canada, PS yes im working on the photos of my RM this weekend.

First of all, welcome aboard. That was a good story and it is good to hear good people are still around. What part of the True North are you from?

 

[Marksman41]

Also of interest would be the story of your friend that owned it as it sounds like he was a man of excellent character and taste. I suspect he was a veteran of WWII and if he passed on any remembrances of his time in service. I always like to read or hear a veteran's experiences as each is unique.

My friend Jim was an avid hunter and rifle collector, he was a little young to be in the service, but worked his life In a Bonbardier plant (where they made hurricane during the war) (railway cars to present)all his life and unfortunatly died shortly after retirement, PS pictures will be posted in the next 2 weeks so hold on!!
