my fav is a M93 sportsman .22 from norinco... it was 180 bucks new from Marstar in Ontario, required a little cleaning to get the packing oil off, but after that with federal shells..cheap to shoot and a lot of fun
I know you can put 38 special rounds throught the 357, I am not sure about the 32 though. But I don't know for sure.
Yes "38" special. Sorry.

Would LOVE a handgun, but the hoops needed to jump through are too many for this guy.

I Don't recomment any Norinco product. They are a cheaper, chinese made brand.

That's why the hoops are the way they are.
Strength in numbers, go jump the hoops and get one. If more people owned restricted (ie voters) these barriers will slowly come down. While you're at it join CSSA or NFA.

I didn't find it to bad "hoop" wise. Go get ur restricted PAL- about 4 hours
Go pick ur gun it gets registered(could take up to 24 hours) and at the same time u get ur travel permit for it. Get a short term (good for the day) to get it home from the shop. And get a long term (lasts until ur PAL expires) for the trek from ur house to the range and back. No calling every time for a permit unless u want to take it somewhere other then the range. All u have to do is call and they will fax u whatever u need within a few minutes.
Also its a faster process if u are a member of ur local range as they will want to know where u are shooting ur handgun. It was $90 for a family membership at our local range.
Good luck!! I love putting clips through my 9mm totally worth it.

Glocks are awesome hard to load though if you get the 45. If you buy the Glock make sure to buy it match grade or break it in making it match grade. Go with the 45 s&w and the Glock 45 little bit more kick but more fun to shoot. The Glock is also harder to take apart and clean at first but once you get used to it, its a great gun

Love how most people comment about what gun to get when he never really says what to use it for.
Sucks hat you have so much hassle to get a handgun, 20 minutes in and out to buy here and I bought it on impulse after researching.
Depends what you are going to use it for... just to shoot at the range or to carry or is it for home protection?
If for the range get something like a 9mm as its cheap to shoot, forgiving, and you aren't trying to knock anything down.
If you are going to use it for home protection get a larger caliber. I have heard from officers saying criminals who are doped up can take a couple rounds from the 9mm and shrug them off.. if you're going to decide to shoot someone in self defense you already made the decision that you can't take back, you are best to make the biggest hole possible.
A good dealer will let you shoot a couple of the guns before you make a decision. Find one that fits your hand well and is designed for what you want in use. I shoot a Springfield .40XD.. plink shoot with FMJ rounds and use special home defense rounds in a clip next to the bed. Those guns shoot VERY nice, fit my hand well, and the price is right. The -M model has interchangeable grips, but the basic model fit my hands better.
Good luck on the purchase and get the training to go with it.

I wish! In Canada the only legal reason to own a handgun is for target pratice. If you tell them it is for home defense you likely won't get the permit. And good luck getting a carry permit unless you are law enforcement.
