Not only are they not a firearm, but they also do not fall under ITAR, so you may bring them back and forth across the border. Seems like the best deals on them are in the US.
There was a spot in the Bren carrier for the 1" pistol, and I believe other armoured vehicles had them as well. There was also the 1-1/2 inch version, used on aircraft and a ground version, but I think for ground version the 1" was more common.
I don't know when they were phased out of Cdn service, but I can tell you that the 37 pattern flare holsters were removed from Canadian inventory some time around 1995.
