The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Para Ordnance 1911 GI Expert (semi-automatic, chambered in .45 ACP, made in Canada) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 128939.

Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a Para Ordnance 1911 GI Expert?

A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.

FRN 128939 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Para Ordnance 1911 GI Expert record in the Firearms Reference Table.
