I think Drakker is referring to one listed on H*** a store in Ontario, same brand but its a slightly different model for $89 CAD. However H*** does have the exact same model for $135 CAD + HST and shipping which would have worked out to around $165. You basically saved Ontario taxes by buying a half plastic Non blow back 1911 from a retailer that doesn't list his business and shipping location/country of origin.
You easily could have been hit with Canadian tax and import duties or a surprise CBSA inspection. Just because a website is hosted in on a .ca domain doesn't mean the company is located in Canada, or that the products have already cleared Canadian customs.
And I dunno man, for what you spent +$50-70
you could have got a 1911 with a 1911 trigger, Co2 blowback, a more reputable brand like KJW or Elite Force, from a reputable established Canadian retailer.
Update:
As of this evening the site now says its located in Quebec, and lists a Quebec business address.
I hope they are legit, I hope they improve their product descriptions and pricing, I hope they are successful and contribute to the sport, and I hope you enjoy your gun "James".
Your purchase decision was still risky and I don't think anyone here would recommend that new players volunteer to be the first ones buying from sites with no established reputation.
