Canik handguns

[SirRicky85]

After I got the Czechmate, I said, that would be my last gun. I was going to pick up a Canik or another bolt action. I still haven't pulled the trigger yet...

[Savion]

Have you compared it with PPQs or PDPs? What are the optic choices are why do you say they are negative?

I also have a Walther PDP and Canik feels better quality. If I shake the gun the Walther PDP has some play between the frame and slide but the Canik is solid.

The optic choices for the Mete is Shield or RMR CC or Holosun 407/507K.It may not be a negative for everyone but I like a bigger window for red dot sight.

...I said, that would be my last gun.

That's a good one, thanks for the laugh.

I have the six, not crazy about the grip, a little small front to back, and the way the bottom reas curves doesn't really work for my hands. Also the top rear part of the grip feels like it could have been contoured a little higher.

Does have a very nice trigger though, and for the price, hard to beat. Too bad Valifornia stifles innovation in the handgun market.

I've heard those complaints before, but I guess the grip hasn't bothered me much. I recently watched a review in which they said the Mete addressed all the issues you states. Probably gonna order it after the holidays as I just purchased 3 guns. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the stupid CA laws.

I have a TP9SF and once I managed to break the rear sight loose so that I could drift it, I was happy with it. It has the best striker-fired trigger I've felt to date.

I had a TP9SFx that I wasn't quite as happy with as the iron sights were impossible to adjust and so far off that they were useless. I wound up selling it due to that issue. If you were going to use a RDS exclusively on that model, it most likely wouldn't be an issue for you. It has the same outstanding trigger.

Where did you get it from ? PPT?

I've heard of them, I've never seen one. They are kind of rare around here.

I've heard of them, I've never seen one. They are kind of rare around here.

If you can find one for less than $500.00, they're a good buy. The triggers are better than any other striker fired gun out of the box.

Long term reliability/durability is the unknown, but there's an aftermarket for triggers, sights (from what I've read, the dovetails are the same as S&W M&P), and grip enhancement/weights. They come optic ready, including several mounting plates which is a real deal enhancer for those looking for an inexpensive Carry Optic gun.

Personally, to me they're only worth buying if they cost less than a Glock or other plastic gun with a proven track record. I definitely won't pay off-roster premium to get one.

But that's me, other opinions vary

In five years, if they prove to be reliable with high round counts, I may change my opinion.

Seen them around here in phx area and good pricing. Heard good about them too. Might just go buy one next week was gonna get my mom a glock 17-19 for a home gun. Maybe just here one of theses and save a few bucks.

[Tere_Hanges]

I love Glocks but the PPQ is a superior handgun. The Canik is an excellent PPQ clone. I wouldnt pay more for a Glock. Only advantage for Glock is the mags. But if there was no roster, I'd buy a P365 before a Glock.

[BigPimping]

Glock has an impeccable reliability record.

Dealer, I moved out of CA

[Robert1234]

Glock has an impeccable reliability record.

Impressive, yes. Impeccable, not so much.

Cause let's face it, if it was perfect, impeccable, whichever term you want to use, there wouldn't be two generations, let alone five (5).

Canik Mete SFT

Well I took the plunge and now own a Canik Mete SFT. Out the door at $457.87 including 6% sales tax in under 30 min. (No NICS with CWL). Too bad that they are only available to exempt persons in CA (1 18rnd & 1 20rnd mag). It does have a short LCI like my XDs.

[Flexipino]

Unique to CA

I have the TP9 Elite SC and the TP9 SFX. PPT in CA is a pretty penny but these are 2 of my pistols that will be transferred to my boys in due time.
