This week the crew is joined by Ken from P3 Shooting Specialties to talk about one of the most interesting developments in Canadian handgun ownership since the freeze began: commercial handgun lending programs in Alberta.
Ken explains how P3 Shooting Specialties is helping RPAL holders legally access handguns for IPSC competition, training, and skill development through a commercial lending model approved through the CFO process. The conversation covers ATT requirements, IPSC Black Badge training, estate firearms solutions, commercial storage, and why Alberta shooters may have more options than many people realize.
Ken’s section of the show starts at 1:05:00
The hosts also discuss:
- RCMP adopting the Glock 45 as a new duty pistol, with red dots!
- Gun room builds and reloading projects
- Chronograph testing and handload experiments
- Upcoming IPSC, Mapleseed, and 3-Gun matches
- Belt-fed machine gun testing for film work
- Camping, Tannerite, and May Long plans
If you’ve been wondering whether there are still legal pathways into handgun competition shooting in Canada, this episode is packed with useful information.
