    Is it possible to purches a restricted firearm from abroad is there a lot of paperwork involved.The cost of a handgun seemes to be a lot cheaper.For example a glock34 in usa $570 or 431euro in ireland 810euro i'm sure it would not cost the differance between the two 391euro for shipping and the paperwork ???:eek: What is the process for importing a handgun.

    You first have to ask yourself how to get a license.

    Then ask yourself where to buy the firearm.

    Chicken - then egg.

    First read Section 30 3D (1) of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009

    No chicken nor egg

    Without being totally inscrutable, simply put:

    With pistols: You can't. Not any more. Door is closed.

    Unless you had one before 19/11/2008 that is.

    Even then, you just get to keep what you have...






    So the price is the least of your problems, not at any price would be the answer.
