    The Irish agents for Sig Sauer pistols are Griffin Hawe Ltd. in Athy,

    Might be worth a call.

    Why not?

    If the Super has issued a licence, why wouldn't he issue an Article 7?

    AFAIK, Firearms dealers don't hold stock because of DoJ restrictions, so the only way to get one is S/H.

    If the super has issued a licence, he is legally obligated to issue a europass and an article 7 on demand of the licencee.

    Our super has refused to issue an individual an article 7 to import a pistol. Don't know anymore than that. Lets be honest though when did legislation bother them ?

    Talk to a solicitor or the NARGC, if you're a member.
