Canada issued the Hi-Power Pistol manufactured in Canada by Inglis in World War 2.
They then soldiered on for years as the armed forces service pistol.
These were finally replaced by the Sig P320 series as the C22 in 2024 after many years of service.

The 11,000 service pistols were then all going to be destroyed in line with Trudeau and the Liberal's anti-gun agenda.
But, they thankfully by a strange turn of events were not.
Instead, they were sent to Ukraine.

So there's now a chance these historic firearms can be imported as surplus (or indeed could be swapped with the Ukrainians for Glocks or what not) to the USA from Ukraine and saved from destruction.
Anybody know a surplus importer than can make this happen?

question: Does Canada have the same issue with 320's firing by themselves?
Mr. B: There was one incident in November 2020 where a C22 was shoved into a holster not designed for it, leading to a negligent discharge. Investigation at the time showed nothing wrong with the weapon.
Other than that, no other incidents noted and the Canadian Armed Forces are not suspending use of the C22 and C24 in the wake of the airman incident.
