One of his friends owns a firearms store with a former navy seal and they recommended it as a reliable, economic weapon.
Anyone here have any experience with this brand?
Reluctant to give money to Turks, given the history and what they are doing all over Europe.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Islamic gun. I know people that like them, as much because they are cheap imports as anything else.
Yes, my oldest son bought one. He loves it. I fired it at the range and found it to be a joy to shoot. I was very pleasantly surprised. Dead on accurate, nice trigger action and smooth shooting.
I’m an HnK bigot so comparing the Canik to my 9mm was difficult. They’re two different shooting experiences and yet I enjoyed shooting the Canik.
I personally think they’re good buy for their price point and the quality is quite good.
No direct experience but I took a Massad Ayoob defensive course and the participant shooting next to me was using one to good effect with a score to rival Ayoob’s top score. In addition to the performance, she also was quite pleasant to watch while shooting. Ayoob was impressed with the pistol. It turned out she was a sponsored competition shooter with Canik.
Hi.
Decent price point for TP9 mod 2 ar $359.99
5.56mm
Century Arms should be avoided at any cost. I bought two of their L1A1s. Neither would feed from the magazine reliably; and, Century Arms refused to fix them. They are junk. Want to buy mine?
A buddy has one. It’s gorgeous. Shot it once, ass accurate as anything. Good gun, good buy.
Only downside I heard (3rd hand) was some have a thinner coating which wears off too fast. Oh, and the smallest backstrap is still too large for smaller hands. So definitely try before you buy if that’s the casee.
I plan on getting one.
If you want tough & cheap go with HiPoint, made in Mansfield Ohio USA.
Bump
I have a TP9-SFX with a Vortex Venom on top. The only minus is the grip angle is not the same as my Beretta 92.
After sighting it in, I put 85% of the shots in the 7 ring at 25 yds. The ones that didn’t make it in the 7 ring see caused by my inexperience with the lite trigger pressure. Damn fine gun but I’m still a Beretta fan.
Looking forward to gripping the new M&P 10mm. I’d love to have a Beretta or Canik in a 10mm.
I have the original S&W version of the walther p99. Delivered to me from the president of the company ages ago.
I know it’s just my opinion….but I think it’s ugly.
Why are all the gun makers trying to make their stuff look like it’s from a video game? Sure you can put a light on that rail…but then it won’t go into the holster.
I guess I am old.
I’m glad I glommed onto CZ back when they were the budget pistols built like tanks.
Id spend my money on a crack whore before I’d buy anything made by a Turk.
Buy American.
