Thread: Moving to NZ from US

Hey all,
This forum seems to be one of the only places I could find that talks about this kind of stuff in NZ, so I figured maybe some of you can help me.
I'm planning on moving permanently to NZ in 2025 and would like to bring my Glock G40 with me. The Firearms Safety Authority site has been largely confusing for me in trying to understand the best way forward to do this.
As far as I understand, I have to be a member of a pistol club to possess a pistol for any reason. I would then also need a permit to import, meaning it would have to sit in storage for a few months to a year until the paperwork is squared away. The site says to also "provide a special reason why the item should be allowed into New Zealand" which I'm not sure I could do beyond it's in my possession and I like shooting it...
Would appreciate anybody knowledgeable chiming in on this process
Thanks
