Common questions

Is the Smith & Wesson 10-5 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Smith & Wesson 10-5 (revolver, chambered in .32 S&W Long, .38 Special, made in United States of America) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 22043. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. 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 Smith & Wesson 10-5?

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.

What is FRN 22043?

FRN 22043 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Smith & Wesson 10-5 record in the Firearms Reference Table. Quoting the FRN is the unambiguous way to identify a firearm in a transfer, a registration or an import, because model names are reused across variants that are not classified alike.
