Purchase and ownership of a pistol

whydave

Hello to one and all,

Need some advice I wish to purchase a pistol and have my mind set on a .40 cal semi –auto pistol.
(This would not be my first firearms cert nor my second)
I have heard that Sweden is the best place to go, can you advise on this?
What will I need for this cert.?

All and any advice will be welcome

Why go to Sweden, you can legally purchase a .40 here in Ireland through any restricted firearms dealer.

In order to get a cert, you will be asked to show that you are a member of an authorised pistol club.

Try Hilltop if are from Dublin, Pat will give you all the help you need in acquiring your preferred item.

Price I would guess! I dont know how prices compare in Sweden, but I know that the North and Germany is cheaper than here.

If you want to buy in ROI Duffy,s Fishing and Shooting (091 562367 www.shoot.ie) seem to be very competitive. I have seen some fantastic pistols for practical shooting that he supplied.

Whatever you decide I think you are best off shopping around.
Prices can vary alot!

Was in their Berlin store recently.A pleasure to walk in and stroll around open gun racks to browse and try for fit different shotguns and rifles,or try out different handguns[only ones the staff keep behind the counter],at will.:D
