Understanding Canadian firearms law is essential before buying a Glock online. This guide covers everything Canadian buyers need to know about purchasing a Glock pistol legally in 2026.
Yes — Glock pistols are legal to own in Canada. However, handguns are classified as restricted firearms under the Criminal Code of Canada. To purchase and possess a restricted firearm legally in Canada, you must hold a valid PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence) with restricted endorsement.
To obtain a PAL with restricted endorsement: complete the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC), pass both exams, apply to the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program, and pass a background check. Processing times vary but typically take 45–90 days.
All restricted firearms in Canada must be registered with the Canadian Firearms Registry. When you purchase a Glock from GlockStore19 as a Canadian resident, the registration transfer process must be completed through the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program.
Restricted firearms in Canada must be stored unloaded in a locked container or with a trigger lock. Ammunition must be stored separately. Transport requires an ATT (Authorization to Transport) in most provinces.
