I'd say unless you are competing with that pistol, which is sounds like you are NOT, I'm not all that sure as a civilian you would even be allowed to take it over the border much less have it on you while in NY state. NRA has an excellent site for state to state laws. But from what I've heard from folks who had tried, rifles are bad enough, forget pistols. Good luck, as some have said, maybe its changed a bit, but Canada really does not like U.S. citizens taking firearms, legal firearms, into their country, ESPECIALLY pistols for any reason.
