has anybody got a centrefire handgun licenced yet

meathshooter

I see that the rifles and shotguns are starting to roll out but no word of centrefire pistols and revolvers

Cass

Everyone i've spoken to so far has got the standard "not satisfied" letter. The party line seems to be, arrange a meeting with the Chief Super and talk to him about his reservations and see what needs to be done to alleviate his concerns. Watch this space i suppose.

Like JW,have heard a RFD got one down here aswell.

Cass

You in Wexford aswell Grizzly or a different part of the country?

Clare/Limerick area.

Cass

If both you and jw are right then it may be a sign of successful applications, nationwide. My pistol is the only licence i'm still waiting for word on.

Bit odd if they are Regd firearms dealers though innit?

How so? One of my local RFDs is on the FCP and owns a pistol. He told me the Gardai view him as just another applicant. No special treatment. Don't know if i'm taking you up wrong on this.

My Buddy just rang me he has been granted a license for his 9mm.
There has been less than 20 granted to date.

Licence or letter granting licence ?

Meyer

Sorry should have said authorisation for licence, i.e. a white sheet of paper with a direct debit option for An Post at the bottom. It was issued in Ennis, and yes it's the same as the pic above (Never saw one myself until tonight.).

357 sig is a fast round. In a polymer framed gun it's a beast to shoot. Saw someoen shoot an IPSC match in Netherlands with a 357 Sig Glock. Muzzle flip was pretty severe.
