Canik vs Tri-Star

[BrewerGeorge]

What's the story with Canik and Tri-Star? Both from Turkey, both "cloners" with similar models. Anybody know any specifics?

Excellent question. Being a CZ fan, the Canik line has been intriguing to me for awhile. I honestly don't know if there is a difference... are they one in the same, branded differently when imported? I don't think this is the case, but I'm curious about this as well.

Canik55 is the manufacturer and TriStar is the importer.

Canik55 is the manufacturer and TriStar is the importer.

+1 Just like how century is the importer of different firearms... or how EAA imports Tanfoglio and SAR

The Canik55 Stingray-C I bought on a whim is an extremely solid and very inexpensive P01 clone.

If you are interested in one, Bud's has been selling them on Gunbroker for $347 shipped. I just won an auction for one today and am looking forward to getting it as I love the CZ-75 design. Hard to beat that price for an all steel pistol with a good reputation! They seem to have a bunch of them, because they are running them as 1-day auctions that are re-listed anytime somebody wins one.

Does anybody have any experience with the VZ grips on a CZ?

I had a Tristar C100 but traded it a while back, regretted it.
Last weekend I came across a Canik Shark C, couldn't turn it down. Logged some range time yesterday and it's sweet
