Good luck
I won't be owning, or possessing it in Australia. I will legally acquiring one overseas and selling it before leaving. The goal is to be trained on it at a range, legally.
Yeah mate which is why i said find a friend.. ie your not owning it just using it, doesn't worry me in the slightest if you do it legally or illegally.. i'm just saying.. if your going to be needing this thing in a firefight your going to want a bit more time than a few range shoots.. need to build up the muscle memory, easy to leave the safety on those things or mess the grip up as to not release the grip safety also, thats all.. not having a go at you by the way
Probably a firearms instructor is your best bet, put down and many range hours and rounds as you can, practice all the scenarios holstering/unholstering reloading/stoppages etc etc theres a few who operate in melbourne
