Handgun Information for Visitors

Queensland legislation restricts the use of handguns for Sports or Target shooting for calibres of more than .38 inch but not more than .45 inch with a magazine capacity of 10 rounds or less. Accordingly, applicants may only use handguns falling within this category for the following “accredited events”:

  • A metallic silhouette competition
  • A single action competition

For the purposes of obtaining a Visitors licence, the Authorised Officer of the Weapons Licensing Branch requires all concealable licence (Sports or Target shooting) holders to establish the barrel length of each category H weapon that the licence holder wishes to obtain a visitors licence.  You are not permitted to use concealable firearms for recreational shooting.
