Canik pistols.

[profjeremy]

My brother-in-law shoots competitively and his Canik TP9SFX is his competition pistol. He swears by the thing and says that it's the most accurate handgun that he's ever owned (and he has owned his fair share)! It's on my "maybe someday" list, but I'm not a competitive shooter by any means and can't justify another handgun at this point.

When you can justify another one, I’m with your brother, get a Canik...you won’t regret it.

Nothing to justify. The right number of guns to have is; JUST ONE MORE.

The CZ clones are pretty nice, but not quite in spec so parts may not be interchangeable. Finding holsters, after-market sights, etc. can be a daunting task.

I have owned several but my take now would be to go with the firearm they're cloning instead.

Funny you should say that! I’m a relatively new (more like a “born-again”) shooter and collector, but I’ve already said “just one more” twice now! Fortunately, my fiancée and I still have separate financials or I’d be in more trouble than I already am!

Ressurecting this thread cause I finally got a Canik TP9 SFx last week and this one seemed the most relevant. Haven't had a chance to shoot it much but so far I am very impressed. Trigger is awesome, weight and balance are really good. Glad I finally got one, have had my eye on one of these for over a year. Lucked out and found one used at USDS Greenwood for $450, pretty sure it had never been fired. Plan on getting a lot of use out of it this summer.

I use a TP9SFx for Steel plate challenges and plan to get into USPSA eventually. So far I really like it but need more trigger time, lol.

I have a Canik C100 that I like way more than the CZ75B that it replaced.

Pirates Love Caniks! Plus you can't go wrong with Value and Quality! Love the Sub Compact!

Canik for the WIN! ARGH!!!

Looked at a Dark Side Rival yesterday at the LGS. Very impressed. Not sure I can but the Turkey though. So tempting, I actually preferred both the feel and the trigger and the extras to the Walther PDP.

I may have to check out the DS Rival myself. Does it have a many any changes between them and the SA SF models other than looks?

I couldn't say, I don't know a lot about Canik. The videos I have watched from people who use them for competition say they are far and away the best Canik for that purpose.

Canik is my go-to answer for folks who want me to recommend a budget, but good handgun. Nobody has complained yet when following my advice.

I believe that Caniks are the best bang for the buck going today, and that even includes a comparison to the Taurus budget offerings.

Completely agree with this. When my nephew wanted his first carry gun this is what I recommended. He picked up a TP9SF Elite like the one I have for around $350 (this was pre-COVID). Fantastic gun for the money. Similar to a G19, but with better ergos, a better trigger, better sights out of the box and a lower price.

I got to shoot a Mete at the range yesterday that my friend recently bought. I'm not a fan of full sized guns, but it had a phenomenal trigger that was even better than the one on my TP9SF Elite. Very impressive.

That thing just screams Vice City.

I’ve noticed Canik prices increasing. Am I crazy? I’ve definitely heard good things about them.

I fell in love with Canik after visiting them at NRA 2019 in Indy. I’ve been actively saving up the gun fund for one. By the time I had the money for a Canik (Combat Elite) some friends convinced me to get a CZ instead

I haven’t looked back. But I still wouldn’t mind having a Canik. I normally don’t end up liking polymer framed striker fired pistols, but I want to find one I like to add to my modest collection. Caniks are up there for me for reasons you mentioned. One of the very few just feels right and triggers are pretty decent. Another consideration I recently discovered is a P320 with the WC grip.
