    Im sure the answer hasn't changed .. but are CF pistols still a massive no no?
    Just asking out of curiosity. I have a walther/colt 1911 .22 love it to bits, Big 1911 fan would love to get a custom made one. Via USA. but I guess the answer to actually own/licence it I would have to live in certain states over there. Which will never happen. I know they are tightening up on laws here anyway so im sure its a silly question, But has anyone got a CF pistol licensed in the past year or so?
    purpose of use competitions..

    Worth an ask anyhoo..

    Only people that had licences before Nov. 2008 can have them. It's only renewals being issued, no new licences.

    The gardai are not allowed to accept a new application for a restricted short firearm, unless you owned it previous to 2008.

    And even at that, a lot of them have to go to court to get their licences renewed.
