Henry Homesteader 9mm
Still legal, but it sits in the same PCC policy weather that took out the PC Carbine and FPC.
Is the Henry Homesteader 9mm banned in Canada? Not currently. The Henry Homesteader 9mm is Non-restricted, but it scores 9/15 on the Holdover Ban-Risk Index. It is not currently eligible for compensation. The current amnesty for prohibited firearms expires 90 days after the latest Supreme Court appeal termination under SOR/2026-114.
Classification: Non-restricted · OIC/SOR: SOR/2024-248 · Ban-Risk: High · Compensation: Not currently eligible · Amnesty: SCC appeals + 90 days
Verdict
The Henry Homesteader is the clearest live-market gap in the launch index. It is not an AR clone and its walnut-stock presentation is deliberately traditional, but the functional category is still pistol-calibre carbine: semi-auto centre-fire, detachable magazine, 9mm chambering, and Canadian listings specifically advertising Glock-magwell variants. SOR/2024-248 already reached multiple PCC families that had been sold as ordinary Canadian sport carbines. The Homesteader has less military lineage than those rifles, so the rubric does not treat it as Already Gone. It does, however, read High because category momentum is doing most of the work now.

What would change the score
- A future SOR schedule naming the Homesteader family or PCCs by magazine compatibility.
- FRT treatment that groups adapter-fed 9mm carbines with previously prohibited PCCs.
