Well, I tried that Centerfire Systems link and tried to order mags. Looks like US is the only option to ship. I sent them an email asking if they ship to Canada, and the reply I received had minimal effort in it's creation. "We don't", that's it. Not a name, not a reason why, just no. Doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't, they are legal up here so why not make more money?

Can't believe a business won't ship to Canada

Quite a few won't ship to Canada & don't forget Canada is across the border so import/export rules also apply.

You would not believe the hoops I had to jump in to take a pistol/mags/ammo to Canada for a law aaenforcement only shoot.

After another round of emails, they finally told me their reasoning.

Mr. Williams,

A number of things, including keeping track of another set of laws, plus the
type of accounts we have with UPS.

Thank you,

Sounds like pretty lame excuses to me. I can buy 1911 mags in multiple places around here, without my firearms licence. It's not an illegal or restricted item at all. I bet it's not hard to get UPS to deliver to Canada.

As a private company they have the right to sell to who they want & ship to where they want...

Lame or not in your opinion they do not have to sell/ship to Canada....Canada is another country with it's own set of laws rules and regulations...and it's not unusual to find a company in one country not willing to ship cross boarders...it might just not make fiscal sense selling a few products for all the problems/headaches it generates...

I know multiple companies that will not ship to Canada as I'm sure you do also...

Shop around and find a company that does ship to Canada and buy from them...

Just put 200+ rounds through these mags. Only issue is one mag wont lock the slide back after the last round, all the rest do. I marked the one mag and these will all make awesome range mags.
