"Amazing that much interest in an item banned in their country."
I don't want to hijack the OP's thread but this is too important to ignore.
As with Japan, the UK is in a similar position. About all that the majority of former pistol shooters there have left are deactivated pistols. That means that the guns have been neutered, with some parts ground off or welded up and barrels cut so that they cannot function as originally intended.
Deactivation usually costs the equivalent of $200 or so on top of the original live-firing pistol. Ironically the value of the piece is often reduced following this, particularly if it is an historic or classic firearm.
Take care of the freedoms that you guys still enjoy and don't let anyone take them away unopposed!!
