As a foreigner, who is soon going to move to WA, I am not yet fully aware of all of Australian law, especially when it comes to each particular state. My issue is the following:
I wonder if I can bring over my .45 semi-auto pistol, or if I have to sell it. I know that WA IPSC WA does not allow .45 ACP to be used. That leaves only Metallic Silhouhette, but this is regularly shot with center contenders. It makes me wonder, though if WA does have the same kind of "loop hole" this fellow from Brisbane discribed 4 years ago:

I have a Glock 21 (45 ACP). All I did was join a club in Brisbane that shoots Metallic Silhouette and asked them for a club approval form. No questions asked why. I was mocked a little for my choice of 45 (Glock) but that's about it. My PTA took 8 working days. This was about 18 months ago.
I just have to do the additional 4 competition shoots but that's fine. Hope that helps.
Does anyone have experience in that particular field, respectively can tell me, if from a legal standpoint this could also be pulled off in WA.
Thanks!
