Any one shoot a canik tp9 sfx

I’m really looking at buying this gun but looking for real life reviews on it.
I held one yesterday at bills gun shop but that place is spendy. I debated on renting it and shooting but I got buyers freight last minute

A guy I work with bought one last year. Lets just say he liked it so much, he went and bought another. I only shot a few rounds out of it here in the parking lot at work, but it really is a nice gun! Very smooth and felt very nice when in hand. I’d buy one if the opportunity arose! Git-er-Done!

I’ve heard great things from a buddy who has one. Truckloads of youtube videos on this one as well. Wish I would’ve nabbed one up back when fleet farm, had them for like $299 a few years ago.

I was thinking the same thing. But I was at that point kind of snobbish when it came to brands. I have now grown from that and glad I did.

I might have to find one and grab it. My buddy bought one the other day and has a viper laser sight on it. But hasn’t shot it yet.

I bought one earlier this year, and only have a few dozen rounds through it. No complaints thus far, think I got mine for around $350 and total was under $500 with 250 rounds from Smoky Hills in Park Rapids at the height of the ammo shortage. Came with a decent holster, and extra mag which was nice. It was a shame I lost in that boating accident….

I have the SA Mod 2….they can’t be beat for the money. Mine has been 100% reliable through probably…..750 rounds or so.

I have one and love it. It’s one of my favorites for target shooting. I got mine for a smoking deal on sale at fleet farm for $379 a couple years ago. I would definetly buy another canik.

Have one with the Vortex red dot. Love it. Was a bit fussy on ammo until I got 500+ rounds through it, now it eats everything. Lots of fun to shoot. Bought it when they first came out, and don’t think I will ever part with it.

I might know someone who has one…. Think it was about $400 at fleet farm about 18 months ago. Been reliable over about 250 rounds so far. No red dot yet. Only complaint is it needs a little more more grippy surface for warm weather use but that is an easy fix with some talon grips or something similar. Feel free to pm me and I’m sure I could “ask a friend” to borrow it and loan it out for a week or two Bearcat.

I ended up buying the tp9sf not sfx and I absolutely love it. 700 rounds through it not a single hiccup. I bought a glock 17 at the same time and shot them heavily yesterday. Both guns were great but this canik is a little different. It’s more accurate a little bit smother and breaks down so easy it’s unreal

I have a tp9sf elite with 1k rounds through it and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Love that pistol!

Try replacing the sights on your glock. Those sights are like the garmin livescope pole, most everyone buys an aftermarket.

That bright white U outline on the rear sight can compete with the front sight post for your eyes to focus on.

The barrels of both pistols should be accurate short distances.

For best accuracy find some pistol sights that really let you dial in that front sight post and keep it crystal clear for your eye(s) to focus on.

Everything I have is switched to trijicon night sights immediately. The glock 17 is a awesome piece. I was just giving a short follow up on the canik. Beautiful gun, shoots flawlessly. Breaks down so fast. Lots of rounds through both guns, neither had a issue. The glock 17 is very smooth and nice as well. And i thought the stock sights were awful but thats pretty normal when I buy guns.

The Glock factory sights are garbage. You would think for the premium price they charge they could come with something half decent. Otherwise there nice reliable guns. People seem to either love them or hate them:

It’s pretty hard to hate them. I have more then a handful of them and not a single one has had a issue.

To be fair, most of the glock hate comes from the “muh 2 werld warz” 1911 fudds.

Looks like the mag release sticks out pretty far. Would it hit your hand when shooting as a lefty? Maybe the pic just exaggerates it.

The one on the sfx does for quick mag swaps. It is geared more for competition shooting. Which is why I went with the sf

I’m not a 1911 guy–I just don’t find Glocks comfortable to shoot.

I was just very selective, being a broke college student guns aren’t the most fiscally responsible hobby. Now I’ll buy any old piece if someone’s offering it. It’s unfortunate that I continue to lose them in tragic boating accidents, I really need to be more careful.

I just came from the range with my new Sf.. It’s not the sfx, but if your looking for a great gun I would grab it. Just put 400 round through it and had 1 error because my magazine was not looking enough for the magwell. Also a little snappy with the 114 grain, but super smooth with 147. Also tan 114 jhp pretty well. I will be buying another one when my 30 days are up. Hope this helped.

I almost traded this in the other day for a glock 48 for a summer time carry gun. Then I ended up just buying the glock instead. My canik probably has 5000 rounds through it between the woman kid and I. Shoots awesome and is incredibly dependable.
Also still haven’t had a issues with a single glock I own. With I could say the same for my m&p 40 as well as my sig.

Thought I’d bump this up as I picked up a Canik Mete MC9, which is their “carry” or micro compact gun. Comes w/ 15 and 12 round mags, fits well in my big paws and the price was right under $400 at Scheels.

I love my canik. I like it so much I recently bought the canik tti combat for just south of a grand. I’ve never seen the micro mete mc9, but I’m assuming you’ll love it. My tp9 sfx must have 10k rounds through it. I carry it all the time. I hate small compact carry guns. I’ll carry full size all day long. Unless I’m in shorts and a sleevless, then I’ll rock my fn 503.

Same. So I was surprised when this fit my hand so well, plus has nice capacity, so I figured I’d give it a try. Looking forward to getting some shots thru it, but I’m guessing I’ll like it as much as the other I have as well.

BC I was watching a piece on the outdoor channel on that gun. How do you like it and would you think it is something that could be carried at all or to big of a frame?

Report back when you shoot it. I’d like to hear back a real life report. I like to buy guns when I have no reason to buy them lol.

I’ve only carried it around the farm where you met me that day. And I have less then 50 shots through it. It is a bigger carry for sure but it’s so smooth that I would carry it in the winter time when I can conceal it.
