Common questions

Is the American Derringer M-8 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the American Derringer M-8 (multi-barrel, chambered in .357 Magnum, .410 Bore, .45 ACP and 1 more, made in United States of America) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 45543. 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 American Derringer M-8?

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 45543?

FRN 45543 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this American Derringer M-8 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.
